Thinking About Purchasing The Popular Fisher Price Smart Cycle?

By Amy Pendleton

My children's development is my top priority as a parent. There is so much wasted space on the TV and internet full of junk, I see the need for challenging experiences as opposed to simple entertainment. We need something to feed children's endless curiosity and boundless energy. My Fisher Price Smart Cycle does just that.

Even if the weather is not cooperating for that planned hike, or trip to the park, not to worry, your children can still get their energy out pedaling on the Fisher Price Smart Cycle. They can also be stimulating their brains with the learning activities and side games found in the Fisher Price Smart Cycle software. It gives me a break and the children enjoy racing each other or helping to finish letter and number side games.

The Fisher Price Smart Cycle Toys require 4 "D" Size Batteries. We bought T-2299 Universal Smart Fast Charger with 8 Tenergy D batteries so our children can enjoy hours of uninterrupted fun. We can charge 4 at a time and the kids can be playing the other 4 for hours.

Switching the game cartridges is simple enough for even the youngest toddler. My child feels so proud of himself when he can do it 'all by himself'. When he gets tired of one game all he has to do is pull out the cartridge and slip a new one into the Fisher Price Smart Cycle and off he goes on his next big adventure.

The Fisher Price Smart Cycle brings the attention grabbing effects of video arcades, so commonly found in malls, right to the comfort and safety of your living room. And because of the hardware/software plug-and-play capabilities, our Smart Cycle is ready to play when my children are. They love the fact that they can choose their own vehicles, and modify the models and colors and change the environments of the street courses. (You do have to buy the games separately)

Navigation is easy with the software we've purchased because each software cartridge comes with a "helper" to assist in guiding your children through the different obstacles and side games. I don't know what I would do without my Fisher Price Smart Cycle.

Unlike other children's toys that are only meant for a small window of abilities, the Fisher Price Smart Cycle can adapt to your child's endless learning. The software has so many levels it is great for all my kids. When they have completely played out one game there is always another to challenge them! It also helps that the seat has three height adjustments so they can all enjoy it!

When my toddler is tired of pedaling, the fun doesn't have to stop! There is a joystick right next to the handle bars that is used to play the side games! The Fisher Price Smart Cycle has many titles for software, but some that we have chosen are: Sponge Bob Square pants, Dora the Explorer, and Hot Wheels (great for racing!). These are sold individually, but are well worth it!

I recommend the Fisher Price Smart Cycle to any child who has the capacity to participate in such activities. It has changed the way our children play indoors and allows me the opportunity to focus on some of my other duties as well as tending to the children. Read below for further details. - 15438
