The summer break is almost coming to a close but there is still time to keep your little ones active. Encourage them to move their bodies by giving them the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2. You can get this fitness tracker for kids at a discounted price from Amazon and Best Buy right before school starts.

Garmin is one of the biggest names in the wearable industry, alongside Fitbit and Apple Watches.

And while the child editions of these activity trackers do not pack the same hardware as the adult ones, they offer a nice range of capabilities.

The Vivofit Jr. 2 is the second generation of the child-friendly activity tracker by Garmin. Like the first Vivofit for kids, it tracks daily steps and sleep. Both models also allow parents to manage chores and create schedule alerts.

The first noticeable change on the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 that was not available in the first version is its cartoon-themed bands. This kids’ activity tracker now comes in several themes inspired by Disney, Star Wars, and Marvel movies. Let them choose the design they like best to make it more exciting for them – that is, if you are not planning on a surprise.

Also, the bands now come in stretchy and adjustable forms. The stretchy bands fit wrists up to 147mm around. If you need a larger size, you can choose an adjustable band. Designs vary for either band forms.

Another physical feature that changed in the second Garmin Vivofit for kids is its display. It now has a color screen that can be customized. Users will also be pleased to know that this upgrade does not affect the battery life. It will still last for up to more than a year.

Just like its predecessor, the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 also syncs with the app. When kids reach their 60-minute activity goals, the app rewards them with a step in the Adventure Trail. This time around, the game matches the design of the band. Watch your child play the Star Wars, Disney, or Marvel game every day.

Save up to 38% when you get the Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 on Amazon or Best Buy. Stocks are limited for some design, so hurry and place your order now.

There’s no shortage of TVs to choose from in the world today. Not only do you have numerous brands to vet through, but each manufacturer makes several models, and not all of them use the same lighting and display tech!

And right now, when you order the Sony 65-inch A95L QD-OLED directly through Sony, you’ll only pay $3,000. Yes, that’s still a lot of money, but when you consider that the TV usually costs $3,500, an extra $500 off doesn’t sound too bad.
