We bought this for our 3 year old son and he loves it! There are some great educational games you can purchase. The only downside is that the battery runs low quickly. I recommend getting the adapter so your child can play with it plugged in if your batteries run out.

Great learning Tool! Drawback is that you run out of battery life very fast. Its worth investing in the battery chargers.

We have been pleased with how excited our children have been with this item and the pricing was great. The included games were more than I expected to come with it. However adding new games will be expensive. We are waiting to see how long batteries will last in.
We are very happy we bought the rubber cover for it to make it easier to hold and provide some protection.

I bought this for my 6 year old son. I wanted to encourage him to read more on his own and do math problems. So far not crazy about the reading application, I would like it to force him to read the word more than just clicking a button and it will read the whole story to you. So far like the math applications in the games. I think the games on this are rather $$$$ for what you are getting in those Apps. I would hold out for sales and not buy them until there are more reviews on the games, videos, etc.

I got this game system for my 2 boys. They love it. I'm surprised how much they are already learning. Plus it has a camera. Not the best, but appropriate for a 2 and 4 year old.

Great Learning Toy!!

I am very satisfied and pleased with Leapster Products. This is my second time purchasing the Leapster Systems. I first purchased the Leapster and Leapster Explorer for my then 2 and 4 year olds, and they have lasted since then to now! I have never had to use my warranties that I purchased on the systems and my boys are now 5 and 7. They have dropped them countless times on hard floors and concrete, and other than scratching them up that's the only damage they sustained. The only reason why I didn't give the new Leapster GS a five star rating is because they really use up battery power quite fast. I decided to purchase both the rechargable battery pacs and car chargers. I was a little disappointed in the price of the rechargable batteries, but it is a must if you want your children to be able to play wihout having to always play the systems plugged in. I would recommend buying the warranties because the new system seems to have a few glitches. I noticed that sometimes the game may freeze up and won't turn off outside of taking the batteries out. Thanks to Walmart.com I purchased these at the time for 39.98!!

Great LeapFrog Product

We are total LeapFrog junkies, but when this initially came out, I was adamantly opposed to getting one because it used different software that I'd have to purchase and was not compatible with the 30 cartridges we already had for our 3 Leapsters. But when WalMart put this on sale, I bought the bullet because it was similar to my older daughter's Nintendo DSi and the younger daughter's VTech MobiGo2 (another AWESOME buy)! It has been perfect! The battery compartments were beasts to get off at first. And after watching 1 Dora 30-min video on it, the batteries needed to be replaced. This isn't a problem for us because I implemented the rule that she cannot watch any videos unless the Explorer is plugged into the adapter that fits all the other LeapFrog products we own. I would definitely recommend this to others, but compare it to the MobiGo and its cheaper apps and cartridges. But the Explorer's apps we've purchased will be compatible with the LeapPad I think I may get her for her birthday this spring. Enjoy!

I bought this product because my little one is such a little explorer and he absolutely loves it. He takes pictures of everything and plays the games at home and in the car, bascially every chance he gets. I guess I need to break down and get the charger because he ran 4 batteries down in a day and a half....but it's worth it.

I got this for my 5 year old for Christmas and I am very impressed. She plays with it all the time and I haven't even purchased anymore games for it yet. I have already had to change the batteries and it's only been 7 days since she got it. We are definately gonna purchase the rechargeable set that is for it. I am very impressed with the app store. They have some games that look pretty cool and very affordable.
