Why you should buy the Garmin Vivofit Jr 2 Fitness Tracker

Built for kids, the Vivofit Jr 2 will make children abandon their computers and make their way outside to do some running or cycling. The band itself uses a reward system but what makes the Vivofit Jr 2 stand out is the app that has loads of interactive games for kids.

Did you get the Spider-man version? Let your child run around chasing criminals. Bought the Minnie Mouse one? Immerse yourself in Mickey’s birthday surprise adventure. By following the game, your child will easily achieve their 60-minute daily activity target.

The battery life is inconceivably long, you don’t have to worry about needing to charge the Vivofit Jr 2 for over a year. The band is also sturdy enough to withstand the bumps your child’s wrists have to endure during the day.

Great fun for the whole family, because your child will find it actually fun, and you can encourage good behaviour by using its points-based rewards system. Playing nicely with your sibling = trip to Nando’s.
