We at Stationary Bicycle believe children should enjoy exercising. Just because it's raining, snowing or otherwise blustery outside, doesn't mean that your child can't get the exercise s/he needs. The Fisher Price Smart Cycle combines the fun indoor activity of video game playing with the physical activity the great outdoors will give you. Designed for kids ages three to six, the Smart Cycle "physical learning arcade system" is an all-in-one stationary bike, video game console, and educational tool. Your little one will exercise her brain and her body -- and have loads of fun in the process. Your child pedals the bike to keep the game going and "steers" with the movable handlebars.They pedal and steer their way through different environments. The Smart Cycle plugs directly into your VCR or TV and requires no need for a separate game system. A large, easy-to-use and conveniently placed joy stick and bright buttons control the games and educational tools.

The Smart Cycle comes with a "learning adventure," in which your child drives a car by pedaling the bike and turning the handlebars. She can splash through mud puddles and take treacherous corners as she tries to catch letters of the alphabet along the road. She'll learn to keep pedaling to keep moving, while at the same time learning her alphabet!

The fun doesn't have to stop when your child gets her fill of exercise: she can stop and rest, and continue the fun and learning by using the bike's joy stick and buttons to navigate through many other games and adventures. And best of all, several optional game cartridges that can be used with the Smart Cycle (sold separately) will keep your child continually entertained, including games that feature favorite characters such as Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob SquarePants, Barbie, and Hot Wheels cars.

With its wide array of games and height-adjustable seat, the Smart Cycle is designed to grow with your child. So as your child grows both physically and intellectually, the Smart Cycle will grow with her.

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

We at Stationary Bicycle realize that some people don't have lots to spend but want something that will do the job. The Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicyle Trainer is one of the least expensive. If you don't mind noise (trainers are notorious for noise), and don't need a lot of sophistication, this little trainer may be just the ticket. Where other trainers may have 2, or 8, or maybe even 19 reviews, this one clocks in at 185 (with an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars). Obviously, a favorite, even though one of the least expensive.
