In modern times, when our young ones seem to be more attracted by sit-down entertainment and games than good old running about, it’s important that we encourage them to get more exercise. The Garmin Vivofit Jr 2 is a fun way to inspire, encourage and motivate kids to get off the couch and on their feet.

Fun and fitness

The Garmin Vivofit Jr 2 tracks steps, sleep and 60 minutes of daily recommended activity. Kids are motivated to reach their daily goals with the reward of adventures, games and icons based on a host of characters from Spider Man to Mini Mouse.

Make a splash

The robust swim-friendly band, again based on popular characters from Star Wars to Marvel Comics, features a customizable colour screen and a user-replaceable battery that lasts for more than one year without having to be recharged. Kids occasionally get involved in rough and tumble as part of their everyday play and the Jr 2 tracker can handle plenty of that tough stuff.

Staying on top of things

Homework, practice time, household chores and brushing their teeth are an important part of a child's daily routine. The Vivofit Jr 2 makes it easy to stay on top of all of these things thanks to features like reminder alerts and a task timer.

Exert some parental control

Mum and Dad can have some say in the process by being able to access chore management and reward tools on the parent-controlled app. This allows parents to endure the Vivofit Jr 2 is being used the way it should and that their kids are sticking to the task of staying active while having fun.
