Smart Cycle by Fisher Price

By Chloe Banks

The Fisher Price Smart Cycle is a revolution in indoor play! It's a stationary bike, game system and learning center all rolled into one toy.

Smart Cycle is easy to set up. All you have to do is plug it into your TV and off your child goes, exploring, racing and learning! Smart Cycle is designed with your child's development in mind, as it teaches important basics such as math, vocab, problem solving and motor skills.

Fisher Price Smart Cycle keeps your kids active even when the sun's not shining. Watch as they improve their hand and eye coordination through bike riding and use of the Smart Cycle joystick for plenty of extra games and activities.

The Smart Cycle is designed for children over the age of 2. They will enjoy the provided Learning Adventure game cartridge, as well as other themes such as Dora, Barbie, Hotwheels and Spongebob, which are all sold separately.

Smart Cycle works in three different modes. In Explore and Encounter mode your child will pedal through various environments, learning on the way. In Arcade Games take a pit stop with a game played with the joystick. The games reinforce important preschool concepts like numbers, letters, shapes and colors. In Race mode, put the pedal to the metal and race with other cars or with a second player.

The Fisher Price Smart Cycle is a great way of keeping your kids entertained, physically active and learning. Bring the arcade experience home with Smart Cycle's different levels of play designed specifically for your child's different developmental stages.

Smart Cycle pedals are not interchangeable so make sure that you check the labels on the pedals and pedal axes before assembling. They are labeled with the letter R for the right side and the letter L for the left side.

There is an enclosed assembly tool to help you tighten both pedals. Turn the left pedal counter-clockwise and the right pedal clockwise, and you're ready to race! - 16083
