Designed for toddlers between 18 to 36 months old, the award-winning Vtech's Ride & Learn Giraffe Bike lets kids ride a stationary bicycle while learning the ABC's, animal names, and counting. The bike's LCD screen lights up with moving images of animals, numbers and letters, and a variety of large colorful knobs satisfies a child's natural desire to touch and grasp. The more your child pedals, the more he or she can learn.  | Ride & Learn Giraffe Bike Ages: 18 to 36 months
Requires:
- screwdriver for assembly
- 3 'AA' batteries (short-life demo batteries included; rechargeable batteries not recommended)

This interactive stationary bike will teach toddlers their ABCs and numbers as they peddle. View larger. | Keep Pedaling for Moving Images and Sound
Recipient of the iParenting 2009 Outstanding Product Award, this innovative bike helps toddlers develop motor coordination and alpha-numeric learning. Bike assembly is easy for adults and takes no more than a few minutes, with parts that click neatly into place. Parents should take note that once the bike is assembled, it cannot be disassembled. The bike's overall design emphasizes safety and stability, with easy-to-use pedals that are well-suited to toddlers. A wide stable base restricts side-to-side movement and ensures that the bike won't tip over. The hard plastic seat is adjustable to two different height positions, catering to a toddler's rapid physical growth. Though the seat is designed to bounce, it shouldn't give more than half an inch or so. Most children will be drawn to the variety of knobs and buttons around the LCD display, as well as the moving images, which change in response to additional pedaling. As an added bonus, the bike will automatically power down after several minutes of disuse, saving battery life and keeping the house quiet. The More You Pedal, The More You Learn
Five different activities await your child. In ABC mode, letters of the alphabet will appear in succession on the LCD screen. Each time the pedaling stops, the letter freezes, and an object beginning with that letter appears on the screen. In moments of inactivity, the Alphabet Song begins and letters move across the screen. In Animal mode, children will be asked to identify a specific animal. The idea is to keep pedaling until that animal appears. In Counting mode, children will see more numbers the more they pedal. Curious children will love pushing buttons and turning knobs alongside the LCD display. Changing activities is easy, though the continuous stream of images and sounds makes it difficult to associate each button with its respective function. Parents may want to assist in selecting from the five different activities. Either way, an active child will have little trouble finding new things to learn about. What's in the Box
Ride and Learn Giraffe bike, user's manual with assembly instructions. (Short-life demo batteries included.)

I bought it for my 2 year old grandson. He and his 3 year old brother love it. It's great for active boys especially when it's too cold to go outside.
Excellent choice for 18 month old grandson December 29, 2009

My two year old grandaughter is the busiest child I have ever met. From the time her little feet hit the floor she is off and running. Although she just got the Vtech Ride and Learn Giraffe for Christmas it has already saved her momma a gray hair or two. She likes to get on the seat and pedal (she is still learning this trick)until her feet go backwards a few times. She is getting better everyday though. She loves the bright lights on the vtech and the animation. She pushes one button for a while then another. The music keeps her entertained,the alphabet is clearly understood and the graphics are clear. Grandpa liked the fact that it was easy to put together Christmas Eve night too. It keeps our busy toddler in one place for at least well 15 minutes!

My 23 months old grandson loves giraffes. He got right on to ride this toy. It took a couple of days to learn how to pedal. The learning games will also provide months of fun challenges. Seems like a durable item. It's still new. Needs to be played with much longer to tell how durable it really is. Great idea for a wonderful toy.
Great for those even too young to ride! January 7, 2010

My son is almost 2 years old and got this toy for Christmas. While he is not quite ready to ride it, he enjoys sitting on it and learning how to push the buttons and operate the machine. I know this is a toy that will grow with him for quite some time and was a great value for the price. I also babysit a younger child who also enjoys sitting on it even though she's too young to understand the games, she thinks it's a lot of fun.
