2 for the price of 14
I bought the Smart cycle for my 3 year old nephew and he loves it. His 16 month old brother sits next to him on a rocking horse and thinks he is riding it too! So, we have entertainment for both of them. I also purchased videos, Thomas, Hot Wheels and Sponge Bob.

Excellent Product5
Our grandchildren love this product ages three and five. The are home schooled and this help reinforce their education with the various discs that you can purchase.

So far so good!5
The assemble is very simple and hooking it up to the TV is just as easy. Construction of the bike is sturdy and the design of the controllers on the handle bars have been thoughtfully placed.

The seat is designed to grow with your child; we have a 3 1/2 year old that is 3'7" and the seat adjustment is a huge MUST! From the looks of it, the bike has plenty of height adjustment left so that our son doesn't outgrow it any time soon! YAY!

The game that comes with the machine reminds me of the 90's version of Race Car driving. The graphics are simple and the concept is easy to understand (again, it's the game that comes with the machine).

It does look like Fisher-Price has taken extra time to make sure the instructions made more since... they have even added a separate diagram for the peddles AND it comes with an assembly tool.

So, it's a 'so-far-so-good' toy. :-)

Pros:

  • Provides a source of indoor exercise for young children
  • Designed to grow with your child's physical and intellectual development
  • Helps develop your child's motor skills
  • Easy to install and use
  • Includes several fun and entertaining educational games
Cons:
  • The instructions to some of the games are difficult to understand
  • The cycle's handlebars are not height adjustable

Product Description

Smart Cycle plugs right into your TV, ready to take kids on learning adventures like no other. As they pedal, favorite character friends guide them through learning discoveries, games and even exciting races. Other activities don't require pedaling at all. Includes Learning Adventure game cartridge with 3 ways to play:

1) Drive, steer and learn at your own pace--visit Math Mountain, Shape Lake, Number Fields, Letter Creek and other stops along the way.

2) Learn, stop and rest, but don't stop learning! Use the joystick to reinforce important learning skills with plenty of games and activities with different levels for growing kids.

3) Race--put the pedal to the metal as you race with cars on-screen, against the clock, or with another player.
