Otta Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My mum has gopt one for my daughter (at my request), and it looks good. However, I am now slightly concerned that it's going to come with nothing much on it, and cost me an absolute fortune in games & apps.Anyone got any experience of leapfrog products?

nunheadmum Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 We got a Innotab last year and although there are cartridges that you can buy, there is also apps online. We've bought a few but not so many. But then it hasn't been used as much as we thought it would. If you are the kind of folk who are getting lots of apps / games etc for other devices (phones, ipads etc) then its possible that the approach will rub off on your daughter and she'll want the same for her computer. It may depend on age too. My elder daughter would probably go through more whereas the younger one is happier with less.

Otta Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 She'll be 4 in April, and is obsessed with our phones and the computer. Hoping this may actually let me have my phone back...

jperry Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 We bought a LeapPad2 for our almost 3 year old and he loves it. I haven't yet purchased any other apps but there's plenty on there to keep him amused and there are different levels for different ages. I was getting really over having him wanting to use my phone all the time - it's perfect for long journeys in the car. Would definitely recommend it.

ryedalema Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yep - both our three year old and 5.5 year old have leap pads and love them. We have bought a few apps for them, but they also come with loads on and have loads of useful features, We went on the ferry yesterday and our three year old took photos with her 'pad' the whole way.And we sat through Dark Knight Rises with the girls in the room last night, both watching their own games/movies on the pads with their headphones on - so not traumatised by Batman's scary enemies.A great buy IMO.

Otta Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Well we got it yesterday and it's a hit. I'm really impressed with it Can see us spending a bit on apps over time but not straight away. I reckon it should be popular for quite a long time.

shallotlover Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 i bought the innotab 1 off ebay. can it do the same thing as number 2. also the games are so pricey does anyone know where i can get them cheaply? can the innotab 1 download games or just 2? think i may have got the wrong one.

nylonmeals Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thought that this was a pretty good review of the Leapfrog and the VTech Innotab which seem to be the head to head competitorshttp://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/tablets/3415162/leappad-2-vs-innotab-2-childrens-tablet-comparison-review/Both sound pretty good!

snowboarder Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Just to resurrect this - I have to be missing something with this leap pad business. On the strength of these recommendations we got one for our ipad loving youngest son - but where are the games already on it? And he's not really into the stylus thing? And no rechargable batteries - they seem to last 5 minutes. Argh!!
