Redmon Fun & Fitness for Kids Manual Treadmill with Odometer, Timer, Auto-Off, and Monitor - Indoor Home Workout and Exercise Gym Equipment for Walking and Running

This is a great little manual treadmill for kids (of appropriate age)! It is solidly made of metal, and I've been very impressed. I had one little "glitch" and that was that one of the only plastic pieces broke (the belt adjuster) but I was able to fix that by running to the hardware store and getting a washer to hold the tension screw... so far, so good... and I placed the plastic cap back on, so it looks like nothing ever happened. As far as other reviewers with the smell... I believe that is just ridiculous. *Of course* there is a smell at first, it would be silly of anyone to expect it not to! It has metal gears and and belt that moves, it HAS to have a lubricant put on the internal gears, or it would rust and fall apart (since it is made of SOLID metal gears and welded metal tubes!). It would be useful to adults considering purchasing this to use some common sense, if your family can't tolerate smells for a few days, put it in the garage or a room with open windows. We put it in the garage for about 3 days and completely got rid of any odors for us before we brought it inside... but it was definitely the smell of gear lubricant (if you've ever smelled it, you know EXACTLY what it is --no mystery here). As for some reviewers stating that it's not safe, I'd have to say their child must have been too young (be it physically or mentally). All children progress at their own pace, but I can say this, I own an adult treadmill, and my child was constantly trying to walk/run on it... to the point that he would get on and manually "make" it run, (yes, he is that strong, lol!) even though it was unplugged. Now that is unsafe, and this little treadmill fixed that problem completely. Now he knows he has his own treadmill, I explained to him that I weight too much to walk on his, and he doesn't weigh enough to walk on mine --and he completely understood. ;) It's working out great, and WE are working out together!!! It's awesome to look over and see your little boy walking with you!

I bought this machine with a lot of excitement for my son, and it was the worst thing I did. After installing it, the belt kept slipping; no matter how many adjustments we made, it was never in place. Additionally, when returning the machine, they did not refund the full purchase amount.

This product is better than I expected! Our daughter is 3 1/2 years old, and she loves watching me run on my treadmill and do other fitness activities. One day, she asked if she could have a treadmill, and I said that I didn't think that they were made for children. Then, I found this item! My husband said that it was somewhat of a bear to put together, but the quality is great! I think the item is a lot sturdier and durable than I was expecting. Of course, it is a bit difficult for a little 3 year old to move the self-propelled treadmill belt, but anything different would be a safety concern. I love the product, and love that my little girl jumps on, pushes the timer buttons, and tries to exercise just like her mommy!

I too rely on product reviews, but I am not so sure on this product. Although it was very easy to assemble, the head of one of the screws for the leg tube broke. I could not adjust (center) the running pad. I followed the instructions to the point that the adjustment screw is exposed. That is a safety issue. My grand-daughter loves it but I think I should return it. Any suggestions.

To be honest, she loves it like her favorite jungle gym. She does get on it and try to emulate Mommy on the real thing. It is a toy, but it's a really good toy that lets her pretend. She also loves to put her dolls on the tread and run them back and forth. A fun toy. I was very relieved to find there were no sharp edges on the one we got. It's stable too. The only negative is that the tread is not really easy to walk on, it took her about a week to figure it out and actually use it as a treadmill, but once she did, she was getting on it constantly. Assembly had some challenges in getting the lower screws in. We managed, but plan some difficulty in getting them in (you should have a really good phillips to augment what they provide with it, that helps a lot).

I was shocked that they really make a Tread Mill for kids. I have a granddaughter that asked for one for her birthday because her parents work out all the time and she wasn't allowed on the big one. She wanted to work out with them. Was shocked that they will actually make one. I ordered it and on the first one the box looked like it had been ran over, and the plastic parts on it were broke, I contacted Amazon they immediately sent a new one and a label to return the broken one. The new one arrived in time we assembled it and was it cute. It was the hit of the birthday party for sure her 3 year old brother loves it just as much, please realize my granddaughter is very small for her age. She makes it go so fast it was like watching a hamster on a wheel we were all cracking up. My daughter in law was shocked that they really make such an item as well. Very durable product will be around for years. We all love it.

Kids love it..great construction

Well built. Takes some strength to move the belt. Will wear kids out fast.
