Officially called as the vívofit jr., this device is an activity tracker and motivator for the kids. It helps the parents in making the children move and do something.
With the help of this gadget, you can encourage kids to move some more. It can track one’s sleep, steps, and other activities. You can set a 60-minute play goal everyday so you can be sure that the kiddo won’t spend a lot of time watching TV or playing on a mobile device.
