 Leapster Family August 28, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
When my daughter was four, my husband brought her home a Leapster for Christmas. It's the older, larger Leapster. She absolutely LOVED it. Then her younger brother kept borrowing, so we decided to buy him his own when HE turned four. Hubby came home with the L-Max for him. I have to be honest and say that we've never even once plugged it into the tv. He doesn't know it has that feature and I'm not going to tell him. Now the three year old is always borrowing a Leapster. Since both of the older kids *still* play with theirs regularly, we'll be buying the three year old his own this Christmas. My daughter has had hers almost 3 years and we've had no problems with it at all. My son has had the L-Max for a year and we've had no problems with it either. My children are NOT gentle with this toy. They swing it around by the stylus, they drop it on the ground, they've even been known to hurl it across the room in a dramatic temper tantrum. (I'm not proud of that but I'll be honest at least!) Anyway, we think these are great products. They are worth every single penny in my house.
I like the fact that all the games we already own are interchangeable among all the machines so we don't have to buy the same age range of games for each new machine that comes out. I would highly recommend this product as one for your child. I am delighted that for once in my life, we spent money on a toy that could grow with our child that is actually growing with our children! It's still a desireable toy even 3 years later. AND it hasn't been discontinued early. Unlike all the other Leapfrog products we've purchased, this one is a major winner!

I've been wanting to buy this for a while for my 3 year old boy but decided to wait until christmas, until I was able to find an used Leapster for half the price on craighslist. The system that I have is the old version but it still plays the same games as this version, also it comes with more integrated games. I am very please with this system, some of the games that comes with it are hard for my 3 year old so I need to help him along. He really enjoys playing with this. Great system for the price. Extra games are a little pricey though, $20-$25 each.

My little boy who turned 4 on 08/26/08 LOVES this toy. I also got him some games but he seems pretty happy with the games that come pre-loaded. If there was 1 thing that I wish was different - it's the location of the on/off button. It's way to easy to turn it on and off. My 2 year old can turn it off while my 4 year old is playing. This is probably more of a discipline issue but still, if it were a switch (instead of a red button that looks very inviting to 2 year olds) then she couldn't turn it off easily.

This is the best educational game I have see in a long time. My grandkids love this.
 Won't work anymore August 21, 2008
I am now on my second leapster and it is not working either. The first one lasted all of two weeks then suddenly will not turn back on. Their customer service tells you to clean the battery compartment if that doesn't work then you have mishandled the game. Well I know it was not been mishandled because it literally was played with then put up on a shelf. The first one Amazon was very great about exchanging it for a new one. Now this one lasted one play time and now will not turn back on. It is now past the 30 day return time for Amazon. Doesn't really matter because I will not be messing with another one again.
