KETTLER Toys Help Create Healthy Fun

According to the National Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 20 percent of children ages 6 to 11 years are obese. Help your little ones learn even before they reach school age that exercise can be fun, so they don’t become a statistic. At KETTLER, we take the health and safety of children seriously. We want our kids toys to be fun for children, but we also want them to learn and exercise outdoors at the same time. Our pedal cars, for example, are exciting for small children behind the wheel.

What is an Ergometer?

The definition of the word ergometer is an exercise device with an apparatus for measuring the work performed by exercising. It stems from the Greek words ergon and metron which mean work and measurer, respectively. The term is commonly used to refer to indoor stationary rowers as well as stationary exercise bikes, although other types of exercise equipment can also be included. While all ergometers are exercise devices, not all exercise devices are ergometers. In fact, European countries have more stringent requirements than North American countries with regards to the measurements and the accuracy of such measurements that need to be met in order to qualify for the “ergometer” label. To ensure the accuracy of each exercise device, KETTLER calibrates every ergometer it produces. Continue reading

Why Buy a Balance Bike?

Next was a bike with training wheels to help transition the child to a bike. After some scrapped knees and elbows and a parent’s sore back, the child would ride a bike without training wheels.
