This toy is AMAZING!!! My son loves it and I feel great knowing he’s getting both exercise and learning on a sturdy, high-quality product. We let him play in the evenings after it gets dark outside and he’ll tucker himself right out before bed, having a blast the whole time. The Mission to Tech City is a particular favorite and the graphics are incredible across the board! Works seemlessly with our Apple TV. Can’t say enough good things about Smart Cycle. Thank you Fisher-Price for one of our family’s favorite toys!!
I like toys that combine activity with imagination, and build skills and familiarity with letters, numbers, etc without being overly “educational” and boring. Smart Cycle is super fun, the kids I know LOVE it and keep coming back to it, and it’s great to see them exercising while learning and laughing. No guilt, super safe, easy to set up...who can ask for more??
I got it for my 4yo nephew and it was the HIT at his birthday! All his friends wanted to take turns on it too and I felt like a really cool uncle haha. Also he's active and pedaling the whole time he's playing and the games are really fun and have an educational component, which I appreciate. He lives in a condo and can't ride his bike outside so I thought this would be a good alternative. I was right! IMPORTANT NOTE: connecting to the ipad is actually very easy! Just download the smart cycle app and it connects automatically. I initially tried connecting through ipad settings, but that's not how it works. Highly recommend this toy!
I just received my 3 SmartCycles, I watched the assembly video and it took about 10 -15 minutes to put together and synchronizing to our iPad and AppleTV was SO EASY I was surprised. The kids loved the fun interactive environments and attention to detail and clever character development. As one child played the others watched in delight and wanted their turn. I cant wait to give two to friends for Christmas! One of the best "toys" I've ever seen-game changer kids are already going crazy for!
We have gone through 2 of these and they both had the same issue within one day of having it - the joystick and the handle bars stop working. Very expensive toy for a defective product (and a very disappointed little girl!)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
