Workout equipment for kids
Whoa...did you know that 8,700 preschoolers get hurt by playing with workout equipment each year? According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, that number is correct. To combat this startling statistic, toymakers and child-centered companies are now creating exercise machines just for kids.
- Fisher-Price has a Smart Cycle aimed at 3- to 6-year-olds. It's a stationary bike that plugs into the television and allows kids to pedal while they solve puzzles. It retails for $100.
- Aqua-Leisure has created the First Fitness' Kid's First Treadmill for kids 4 years of age and older. It's a non-motorized machine that kids can walk or run on and it sells for $80.
