Loved this LeapPad, but after a while, it only worked with the original book. Doesn’t work with any cartridge!!! Then I called LeapPad, they told me it’s because the cartridge is dirty. What to do is to wipe cartridge with rubbing alcohol, then while the cartridge is still wet, push it in/out to the leapPad, so this will clean the leapPad’s cartridge receiver also. This works like a charm for me.

My husband and I bought this for our 2-1/2 year old for Christmas. She really loves it. She is definately at an age where she enjoys learning and is very interested in colors and shapes and showing us “what she can do”. This is perfect. We often travel out of town and this is great for those long road trips. Anything to keep her content. I think it will be helpful as she learns to write and read, and it is wonderful for learning shapes and colors. I would say the downfall in this toy is that the cord for the pen is a little short (suppose that is a safety issue) and also I dont like how the cartridge sticks out of the side. I think a drop in sort of thing would have been better. The books are a little tough to get in place, but she is learning. I think she is a little young still, but will get lots of use out of it, and I think it is a good time to introduce this product to her at least. We are going to buy one for her cousin this month, so I think that shows how much we like it!!

We purchased this toy for our daughter last Christmas after she discovered her older brother’s Leap Pad and enjoyed the idea of it, but spent too much time ripping out the pages of the books! I respect other reviewers who find little value in a “Jr.” version of a toy, but I truly believe that the My First Leap Pad has features (board book binding, thicker pages, more basic themes) that make it an appropriate bridge toy. The list and range of titles is constantly expanding which is a boon to relatives who are constantly struggling to find gifts, but my two and a half year old still finds amusement in returning to her older books. I will admit that we have run through one of the pen units, but I have to concur with another reviewer that the Leap Pad customer service center is one of the better ones with whom I have dealt. We received a new pen in under a week. After a year, we still find that she drags this into bed with her after lights out and she falls asleep with it next to her. There are so many ways to spend lots of money on bad and useless toys, it is a pleasure to spend money on such a good one.

My grandmother got this for my daughter last Chanuka. My daughter was 2 years old at the time. Well, my daughter, now 3 years old, still absolutely loves it. She loves the electronic pen and all the sounds the computer makes when she touches a picture. About 98% of the pictures on each page makes some sort of sound. Even the tires make sounds when you put the pen to them. My daughter is really understanding the concept of reading too. She actually sounds out the words with the computer. She also likes to be able to turn the volume up and down with the pen. This computer made such an impression on my 3 year old daughter that the words, “Oh cool!” constantly come out of her mouth when she accomplishes one of the activities. Hearing those words come out of my baby’s mouth is so adorable! I would recommend this product to anyone at anytime.

My Mom bought a pink My First Leap Pad for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. While my daughter was first learning to use it she didn’t understand the need to touch the “go” circle on each and every page and she would quickly get upset and give up. It took a short time but she did get the hang of it and now at 3 1/2 she really enjoys her First Leap Pad and can run it like a pro. We have 4 books so far and they have kept her interested and entertained for hours at a time.

I do agree that the cartridges should have been done differently. They stick out too far, remove too easily and they are small and very easy to misplace, if you lose the cartridge then the book is useless. Also with small kids who like to chew on most everything, the cartridges appear to be fair game.

Speaking of chewing, for some reason my daughter recently decided to mangle the cord that the pen is attached to and it stopped working, of course. I thought I would have to buy a whole new First Leap Pad but just as I was about to do that, I managed to find a replacement pen at a local store and the problem was easily fixed. I was amazed that anyone had even “thought” of making the pens replaceable, but I was very glad that they did! For some reason the replacement pen has an even shorter cord than the original, but she doesn’t seem to notice. She’s just happy that her First Leap Pad works again!

I would suggest this toy for ages 3 and up.
