Subject: sit and spin
Anyone remember a sit and spin that was shaped like a bucket seat. It was red with a white seat that had slots in it to hold on to while you used your foot to propell yourself around? I would like to find one for my daughter. I'm guessing this was a late 60's to mid 70's toy.

Yeah, I remember the commercials for that one. Mid 70's if memory serves me correct.

I thought the "Sit-n-Spin" was that deal where you sat on a plastic circular base and "spun" yourself around by grasping the "stand" in the middle and spinning. ??? Anyway, I loved those '70s toys and games that encouraged physical activity ("Sit-nSpin", "Big Wheel", etc.) You could play daredevil from the age of 5!! ;D

Heh heh heh. I thought this thread was going to be really offensive.

That is exactly what I thought a sit-n-spin toy was also. Found this picture at www.yesterdayland. If memory serves me right, I remember seeing these at a K-mart in the 90's. Or at least a toy very similiar.

I am wondering if this toy was called rock-n-spin maybe. I have never seen another since I was little. Like I said, it was like a bucket seat chair that kinda acted like a weeble-wobble. No searches on the www have helped. :'(

I remember the Sit n Spin and I also remember some strange thing called a "Green Machine" that was a pedal machine like a Big Wheel but it was ... well... green..... and it was different!
...Yet another thing that I wanted as a kid and never got. Thanks Mom and Dad. :'(

I had sit n spin when I was little. I had a big wheel too. Big wheels aren't around anymore but I think sit n spin still is.

I actually saw a sit 'n spin last night at Kb Toys. Updated, of course, with music and lights. Pretty cool!!! I purchased a Big Wheel back in the mid-90's for my daughters birthday present. They could still be around.
