Leapster Ultra Handheld Learning Game Console for Kids Age 4+

We were hesitant to introduce video games to our 4 year old, but I must say this is a great alternative to the traditional video game options. The games focus on fundamentals (letters, numbers, etc.) He has been able to navigate the majority of the games on his own which is great. The quality of the product is excellent for the price point. Easy buttons to maneuver and the size is perfect for younger kids. We do limit the amount of time he gets on it and it seems to be going well. Very happy with the purchase. Leap Frog did not disappoint.

Son has autism and loves this handheld game. Great educational games, easy to use, good value for money

My 4yo saw my husband’s game controllers and wanted his own so we bought him this. He loves it and is able to do the games himself but they are also challenging enough for him that it keeps his attention.

I got this for my special needs child who needs easy directions . It’s good but to much talking, good quality if your child gets overwhelmed or overstimulated this might not be for you.

Before I gifted this to my son, I set up the unit to test for myself. I was initially concerned it would not hold his attention for very long, but am pleased to report that he is very satisfied. I have tried my best to keep my son away from smart phones, video games, and digital tablets as I wanted him to build the necessary basic motor skills before introducing him to something like this device. You can’t keep them completely away from them this generation, unfortunately. Of course, his first gut instinct was to tap the screen, immediately when the first series of prompts came up. As he used the Leapster, he began asking questions about the words and terminologies used in each of the games, prompting conversation between parent and child… not to mention a lot of laughter. These interactions are all invaluable for a parent. As for the software, the games are all intuitive enough for young children to quickly grasp. My son was able to follow the instructions without my guidance and navigate through the games all on his own. The only issue with this is introducing your child to a potentially addictive source of entertainment, which I have quickly decided to set rules around (30-minutes a day, only after homework is finished). As for the unit, the unique controls were intuitive enough for him to pick up quickly. It also has a bright, colorful, and rotatable LCD screen, which is also impressive. I believe this product is a good kick-start to engage children with digital products. Overall, I am pleased with the product and would recommend it to others with children.

I got this for my grandson for his birthday on Mothers Day, he wanted it so bad he couldn't wait it unwrap it, he loves it, thanks leap frog 😍

It comes with lots of cool games, my son loves it. its very easy to use and i feel better handing this too him rather then his tablet. He seems too draw more towards this then any of his other toys.

So sad. The first one lasted 30 minutes and then the screen went gray. We tried every trouble shooting recommended and even searched the web for other options. Then we just ordered a new one because my child loved that 30 minutes of fun. The second one came and it never worked even from the start. We tried everything because we really wanted it to work. What a sad moment. Now we hope to get a refund but really just wanted it to work.

This this toy is very good. It is exceptional. I love buying these leapfrogs because it helped my son so much.

My son loves it! Educational and less dopamine-addicting than a tablet. My advanced 4 year old son loves it.

My son loves this! And I am super happy that he plays with this in the car or when were out rather than asking for the phone to watch a movie one.

Bought for 2.5 year old. Was great just a little hard for him

Works better than expected, long battery life, very durable. Games are fun to play.
