Are you kidding me??

I don't think it's disturbing. Disturbing is a video of a gruesome car crash or someone being put to death by decapitation. I don't think it's cruel. Cruel is torturing a puppy or locking a child in a dog cage for hours on end. People choose words to describe this when it's not really anything close. If you think that this is cruel and disturbing, then you haven’t seen much of what the world really has to offer.
I suppose it would also be "cruel and disturbing" to buy a child a play vacuum cleaner so they can be like mommy and help her clean the house. Or worse yet, a plastic bubble lawn mower so they can be like daddy and help with the yard work. *Gasp!! Horrific!!!
Like one poster said; their child does everything they do right beside them, so if Mommy has a tradmill and the child wants to be like mommy.... why not buy them a play treadmill? Beats them sitting in front of the TV watching Barney.
So again... if you still find the toy treadmill so disturbing, I have two suggestions for you;
1. Don't buy it
2. Seek counseling0 -
TO me this is right up there with the dog treadmill. How difficult is it to get outside and run around with your child for a while each day!? Seriously!!!!!0

ROFLMAO!!!!
Omg.. this is hysterical. Really? Everyone's getting all bent out of shape because of a TOY TREADMILL???!!!!! Seriously??
Think about this:
TOY.
TREADMILL.
Did you all look at this thing? Really look at it? It's PLASTIC and RUBBER. TOY. Toy toy toy toy toy. Just like those plastic shopping carts to go pretend grocery shopping with. Do you have ANY idea how many kids WOULD NOT be screaming in Mom's cart, running rampant through the store or...worse - if stores had them for kids to HELP mom shop (or dad)? I've seen parents bring these things in.. they're GREAT! They make the kid happy. It's healthy because it teaches them healthy shopping & spending habits; if the parent is truly engaged, they will also teach them how to read the labels & prices as well (there's not always time for that though). AND ITS A TOY.
Or like FearnLoathing said - dolls, dress up clothes, pretend makeup... etc. Same thing. PLASTIC. TOYS.
And how many commenting are parents? OH NO... IT'S HORRIBLE.. my child is going to be scarred for life because I got them a plastic toy treadmill ... *** GASP!!!! *** What a ROTTEN parent you ARE! You are bad bad bad mommy for buying your child a pretend exercise machine so they don't get on yours and ACTUALLY get hurt. Injury is not pretend, people.
Omg.
You know, this frustrates the hell out of me.
I AM a parent and **IF** I had room for a treadmill and **IF** my children were still little, darn right I'd get one! Probably two! One for each of them!!! Now, I DARE you - any of you - to tell me I'm a bad parent. Go on. Do it. Judge me.
Can I say it just once more to be clear - TOY! A healthy toy at that!! It's not a video game. It's not a movie. It's not motorized, battery operated, lighted or making noise. It moves by THEIR power. Hmm.. let's see... it's -10 degrees with a -2 windchill and it's been that way for 3 days, black ice, and a foot of snow. I have an active 4 year old. TV, treadmill.. TV, treadmill..

the most disturbing thing about the one I saw was the price...lol $118.00:huh: its pvc pipe lmao0

My toddler would LOVE that! He's always trying to walk on my treadmill. I told my husband we needed a little miniature one for him so he would leave mine alone.0

LOL!!!!!! Now that is disturbing! Why couldn't I invent it???! :grumble:the most disturbing thing about the one I saw was the price...lol $118.00:huh: its pvc pipe lmao0 -

my kids like to imitate me. They wii fit beside me, they zumba with me, they lift little weights with me. If I ran on the treadmill, I would have a hard time keeping them off...this seems the perfect answer to that problem....
Is it not possible to run with them outside?
I suppose it would help if you were at different speeds. I tried running with the kid I babysit for, with him on his bike. It was a total disaster.
My 11 year old can, my 3 year old...absolutely not. For one, we live in the boonies, there are loose dogs, snakes, no sidewalks. I run on days I get off work early (I alternate with a co-worker) at the park on my way home from work. So, really, none of this really applies to me, except to say that, "no" both of my kids couldn't run with me.0 -
Now if the woman in the picture was Jillian Michaels and she was screaming at the little girl "C'MON! 10 MORE SECONDS!!!" Then maybe I'd have a problem.0

The fact that people are calling the child in the picture "chubby" is disturbing. :explode:
She looks perfectly healthy. This is why our young women have body issues.0 -

kids like to imitate their parents....so it could be fun for them. i dont have a problem with kitchen playsets, where kids pretend like they're cooking and what not, so i wouldnt see what the problem with this would be. but i must say, i dont think it would keep them interested long.0
