Parker is a classic teddy bear--all soft and cute and snuggly. No built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, no batteries required. This teddy bear comes with an app you download to your phone or tablet. Once you have both, your kid points the app at the design on Parker's tummy and the app recognizes it and starts to play. Kids can see if Parker is healthy. Cure a tummy ache and watch Parker's happiness meter goes up. Examine Parker's bones and unlock new ways to play together. Kinda takes playing doctor to a whole new level.

What could happen if something goes wrong?

Not much. There is actually very little 'smart tech' involved in Parker, it's all done on the app. The app does use the phone or tablet's camera though.
