I guess I'll have to settle for setting up my trainer in front of the television this winter. Your little one, however, can experience their own version of the CompuTrainer with Fisher-Price's Smart Cycle [no this isn't a commercial fashioned by SNL, although a parody may be forthcoming].
For just the new low, low price of $89.00 [yes, Black Friday is right around the corner] the touted "physical learning arcade system" can not only keep your child amused for hours, let alone days [with all the additional learning and arcade style games available for purchase], but it can also keep your child active.
After seeing the actual on-air commercial [click on the picture to be taken to the Amazon site for full video playback], my intial thoughts were varied [and quite frankly all over the map]. Some are below:
- its the perfect toy for your little "mini-me" to emulate mom or dad during their winter training sessions.
- how long will any kid enjoy this toy once they find out its "good" for them as well?
- good for Fisher-Price, not only have they created something fun and functional, but they are actually addressing social issues [childhood obesity in this case]. Not sure that was their intent, but with US statistics being what they are [as of 2002, 15% of children were considered overweight] it might as well be [would hate to be involved in that marketing plan though].
