LeapFrog Leapster and L-Max Recharging System - not for use with Leapster 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog

October 06, 2005
I am on my third l-max in 2 years. My 5 yr old loves it, and it's a great educational toy while satisfying his thirst for video games. But Leapfrog has replaced it twice...one year apart. The first time, the LCD screen didn't work right (specifically - the pen did not allow accuracy on the screen). The second time, the screen "froze" and would not allow any play at all. After recalibration and rebooting attempts by the technicians at Leapfrog, they replaced the unit at no charge. My advice - buy the toy, but register your product on their website and keep track of all conversations and problems with your unit. And be aware that it takes persistance to get the unit replaced.

John Deere - Electronic Fishing Pole

My son has only had this toy since Christmas (just about two weeks), so I can't comment on how durable it will be in the long term, but so far so good! He loves it. It doesn't actually reel the hook all the way back up to the top before it starts to drop again, so that's a little frustrating for him (he's 4). But otherwise, it has been one of his favorite toys from Christmas...and he got A LOT of toys!

Leapster L-Max Girl Handheld

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog


I bought this one for my daughter because she has had another one for 2 years and just loves it, finally wore out the pen but the touch screen still works... a friend wants the old one for her child now. My daughter has epilepsy and is not allowed to play video games but begged and begged for something to play like all the other kids. I get to cheat a little by letting her play this system for an hour or 2 a day, I figuer that if she can LEARN something while playing these games.... it is worth it. Her neorologist is not thrilled, but has said as long as it is very limited it is ok. She may never be able to play video games, but hey... they mush your brain anyway, the systems are way to expensive and she gets to play outside alot and get ... Read More:

LeapFrog WordLaunch Learn-to-Read-It System

My kids (4 and 6) have had this for over a year now, and still enjoy playing it. As with any LeapFrog product I have tried, I think it is very educational.

It's nice to have some toys that they are actually learning something from.

Vtech - Move & Crawl Ball

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: V Tech

June 12, 2006
We introduced this toy to our son at 3 or 4 months and he was immediately intrigued by the colors and sounds. Even before he could crawl, he would reach for it and push the buttons. He learned that when he did this, he could feel the ball's vibrations.
He started crawling at 5 months and immediately starting following this thing around.
He is now 7 months and still enjoys this toy. It holds his interest for a relatively long time.
I can't say much for the educational value. Our son is too young to understand what it asks him to do; same with other babies learning to crawl. Also, the animals are not realistic so even if he could "find the cow", he wouldn't know it was purple and green.
Also, this ball doesn't go far on the carpet. It ... Read More:

LeapFrog Read & Write LeapPad®

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog


I did not purchase this product as I found out from Leapfrog that they are discontinuing it. I e-mailed the company to be sure, and was told "We are not producing this item anymore but we still have inventory of the books on-line and at the stores." So basically, it may be a great toy but if you intend to buy it I'd be sure to get all the books you want now, because who knows how long they will continue to be available. Their "Tag" system is the new thing they're doing to replace this.

LeapFrog® Leapster® Learning Game: 1st Grade

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Electronic Learning Toys
from: LeapFrog


My daughter got a leapster and games for her birthday when she was 5 - one her favorites was the basic "Kindergarden" game, but it was becoming too easy for her a year later. I decided to try the 1st Grade game and she loves it - it is still challenging to her without being too frustrating. I'd much prefer she play with this than watch TV!
