Several weeks ago, I participated in a Twitter Party and was lucky enough to win this for Ethan! I wasn’t sure how big it was going to be because I haven’t seen it is stores. I was excited when it arrived in only a week. Conor and Ethan quickly assembled it…
(Never mind the fact that in the 7 minutes it took to assemble the giraffe, Ethan somehow took off is pants…he was wearing a diaper!)
After the lovely 7 minutes of assembly and a tad bit of confusion on how that green part (pictures above) clipped on (look at the box when assembling, lol) it was finally time to let Ethan climb on!
Ethan loved it! He uses it mainly as a seat right now because he can’t quite pedal. He can reach them but can’t push them down. The buttons are very easy to push…
…and we love that their are so many animals to choose from! Zach, the 2 year old I nanny, is loving the pedaling and chasing the animals. That game is definitely the most frequently playing in our house.
My personal favorite part is the ABC song. It is a relatively slow version of the song with clear letters that flash on the screen. The main negative is I can’t find a volume control. I wish it had a quieter setting but other than that we love it! In fact, I love the whole “keep kids active” idea. I personally think getting out and playing in the park or going for a bike ride would be the ideal situation for healthy activity but I know not everyone does that. This line of toys is setting a good message and we are thinking of getting Ethan the “weights” so he can use his instead of mine when we work out!!
So is the giraffe like a baby tredmill??? It seems kind of funny….
I need one for an adult…

More like a bike but you get the point =)
