Kiwi Inventor Dad’s Anti-Obesity Toy Snapped Up Internationally

A dedication to keeping his kids active has seen one Kiwi dad’s backyard toy become an international sales success, with close to 200 stores stocking the product in line for Christmas sales.  

Kiwi inventor Brett Gifkins spent 10 years and more than $300,000 of his personal savings to create the product but says if it gets just one child off the couch then it’s been worth it!
 
Frustrated with the amount of time his own three sons were spending on the computer Gifkins began designing a toy that would entice them outside.
 
The innovatively designed Sprinta, which requires no batteries and (to parent’s delight) is soundless, is manoeuvered via a flexible rod inserted on the top of the car which children must push along to maintain momentum.
