My kids had the first leapster... I loved it and so did they.. I personally love anything made by leapfrog... All their toys are educational...

I bought this toy for my oldest a few years ago; he is now 9. I love that it is an educational toy, and I really found it nice that he wanted to play this instead of a gameboy or such. He skipped his second year of schooling, and I definitely think it was due to using this as a reward for learning, as well as enrichment to concepts being taught in school.

I love this toy. I bought one for my daughter when she was 2 and my nephew when he was 4. They love this system. There are lots of different games to choose from so your child never gets bored. The games are educational so they actually learn while playing FABULOUS my daughter is now 3 and she knows how to write all her letters and spell her name. She recognizes all her shapes, letters, and numbers. My nephew is now five knows everything above but is also doing addition and subtraction. I know sometimes these games are not recommended but I believe with superviaion these games are so worthwhile. I would so reccomend to someone or purchase one for a gift.

We have the Leapster 2 and the orginal leapster. While I love these systems, they do have some issues. We upgraded to the Leapster2 because the orginal kept turning off for no reason and we were having problems with the game "reading" the game cartridge. The leapster 2 had many of the same problems but not as much. The games are great and my son still goes back to this even after getting the Leappad beacause we have some many games for it. It was his sisters and was passed to him so there are A lot games! My son learns while he plays and really enjoys they system over all.

My daughter loves this game system.

My son loves his Leapster. I think its educational. I have found certain leapster games on clearance at meijer, kmart,and target so it hasnt been to expensive. They also have sales on their website.

My kids loves it.. hope they produce more colors, it's so educational and fun at the same time.

My now 3-year old got this for her birthday because her big sister has a DS and always wants to play. She loves it and so do we. The fact that she is learning by playing through characters she knows is so rewarding. We've gotten a game or two handed down which is great for our wallets. The only things we do seem to find is the pen doesn't always work and the older games seem to get hung up every once in a while. Other than that, it's fantastic!

We snagged this awesome toy last year on Black Friday for $20! We never thought it would end up being one of our sins favorite toys. It has saved us many headaches on road trips and grocery store trips! I wish the batteries lasted longer, but don't we wish all electronics lasted longer! I am hoping to see some more toddler friendly games for it this year, last year they were hard to come by.

We started out with a VSmile pocket and my daughter found it difficult to play the games. When we came across the Leapster 2 we gave it a go and she hasn't put it down since. The games are intuitive, educational and easy for her to play. I like that I can add a memory card and download games for her from home. The only reason I am not giving it a fifth star is that there are times the unit doesn't recognize the memory card and we have to open the back, remove and reinsert the card for it to work. We have had it for a year and my daughter still prefers it to the VSmile.

We love our Leapster! We've had it for years and now my 6 year old son has passed it down to his 3 year old sister. There are a LOT more games and activites that you can purchase for the Leapster. We've tried other handheld games and nothing compares to the Leapster.

I recommend this toy for any parent that is looking for an educational toy for their child/ren. The games are adequate the age range presented on the box and the handheld console is great for little hands. My children love this toy.

my daughter loves it .. only thing i would change is to put more color pages in it instead of 4
