I spent over an hour trying to get this thing to work when the kids opened their presents. I buy all my gifts around August for Christmas, so the warranty is expired. Come to find out there is some issue with the battery cartridge. I got an adapter for it and that works, but it is not a portable game now. After reading the reviews, I don't think I will bother with replacing it. Might try upgrading though.
The size of it is just right for his hands, as well. (And he still loves to read.this didn't distract him from any of the other things that he likes to do, as I had feared it might).
He has been playing some of my games on my iPhone, and I thought that he might like something of his own (and I would like him playing some more age-appropriate, learning games). I just bought this for my son for his 4th birthday, and he absolutely loves it.
This was easily his favorite birthday present, and I think it will be a companion for many years to come. The game that is built in to it, the Frogger type game, took him a few tries to really get the hang of, but now he looks at me with an incredibly proud look on his face every time he makes it to the other side.
We also got the Wall-E game to go along with it, and he loves that as well. This is a must have for entertaining, and teaching kids.
Love it.

Last month my daughter received Leapster as a gift. I decided to wait for Nintendo DSi for another year as my daughters seems to be younger (3.5 year, 5 year) for Nintendo DS.
They are very excited on on-board coloring and proudly show us all their creativity.After going over many reviews, I ordered "LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Mr. So far I am very satisfied with this learning tool.
Both daughters enjoy playing games on Leapster and need very little assistance to use it. Pencil is exhausted.
On average DSi is great for 6+ year old and Leapster will be fine for 3+ year old.
Leap frog was unwilling to replace the stylus contrary to the terms of their warranty and i understood that after 3 seperate calls to them to representatives that had a hard time grasping the englisdh language. Within the first week of purchase of this product the stylus went bad. The retail store would not exchange so we had to call leap frog. I guess they too outsource their customr service center to some country on the other side of the world. Needless to say, we will never purchase any product again from this company.
Instead of getting better the problem kept getting worse. Bought this last year for Christmas for my 3 yr. Until finally, I put new batteries in it and it indicated no charge before it even booted. old son. For a year I thought he was leaving it on because it never seemed to have a charge. When I contacted their customer service department, Leap Frog told me there was nothing they could do because it was more than 90 days old. My older son has the Leapster L-Max and likes it and the games are educational and age appropriate.when they work.
