LeapFrog Little Touch Leappad Review Summary

With babies in mind, LeapFrog created the LeapFrog Little Touch Leap Pad as an interactive, educational toy for 9 months to 3 years. Using drool and tear proof pages and a durable body, parents state the Little Touch Leap Pad meets the grueling demands of infants and toddlers. The Little Touch Leap Pad also provides a variety of through pages babies interact with by touching the pictures. While a good concept, many reviewers had mixed feelings about the Little Touch Leap Pad. The main complaint... The LeapFrog Little Touch Leap Pad just doesn't keep the attention of its intended audience. The Little Touch Leap Pad is dependent on an adult for the best results. According to several reviewers the Little Touch Leap Pad is “too advanced for little ones” since the pictures must be pushed hard to be able to activate the sounds. One parent states "we just find the toy incredibly frustrating to use and not at all effective as a learning tool." Check out what parents are saying about other learning toys which may be better suited to infants and toddlers.

The Little Touch Leap Pad by Leapfrog is a wonderful investment for infants and toddlers.  It has several books and cartridges that contain a varying number of "learning moments" and 3 appropriate levels of play for your growing baby in addition to the story telling option and games option.  It both... review »

I wasn't thrilled about the LittleTouch the first time I turned it on, before my daughter was even born. My reasons were the very reasons why my daughter never got excited about using this as an interactive book. For an age group that is all about instant gratification, constantly having to push the... review »

I was excited to purchase the LeapFrog Little Touch Leap Pad for my daughter's second birthday.  The product is made for children 18 months and up, so I thought it would still be a useful learning tool before moving onto similar LeapFrog products (like the Leapster).  However, in using the Little Touch Leap Pad, my husband and I have found the product to be a complete waste of money.  Perhaps if my daughter were able to completely focus her attention for long lengths of time it would be worthwhile - but what 2 year old can do that?  There are 3 settings that can be used, based on the child's... review »

I initially borrowed the Leap Frog Little Touch Leap Pad from our school's resource center. I wanted to see if it would be a solid purchase for our toddler at Christmas.

Immediately my son tore into the box and began checking out the leap pad. The power is easy for him to turn on and off and it has a handle for portability.

However, if you want to change the setting you will need to do that yourself. The leap pad is almost completely dependent on parents interacting with the child. My son wasn't happy to play with it by himself and became frustrated easily when he couldn't get the pad to respond...

my daughter recieved this about two years ago at a year old and she rarely plays with it. She's got about 5-6 different books but it doesn't hold her interest long. some negatives include the fact that you have to push the go button on every page and then the child has to push the picture hard to get it to do anything. another thing i don't like is that its pretty simple to figure out how to change the 3 levels of play that my daughter will keep turning to the first page and changing it to a lower level that doesn't challenge her, i think she actually gets more of a thrill out of this than actually... review »

The Little Touch Leap Pad is a wonderful toy to  give to your growing little human! It's already a fact that the babies born in the 2000 millenium are profoundly advanced but with the milleniums new technologies like the Little Touch Leap Pad we can have a positive outlook on our children's education. The features on the pad makes it easy for your child to learn to manuever, the games are enriching; offering great cognitive learning skills, reasoning and decision making and also patience(what little soldier doesn't need to learn that!:-)). The only thing that kind of upsetted my child was that...

We received this as a gift for our son...yes we got a pink one for some reason. He really likes to listen to the music and he tries to press to make the sounds. He got it at 6 months and we couldn't get him to sit very long to look at it. Now at 8 months he is able to sit a little longer and help turn the pages. The pages are very durable. My son has stuck them in his mouth, folded them, wrinkles them and who knows what else. They look a little wrinkled but they are not torn and have to water marks on them. I think as he gets older he will grow more interested in it. Definitely not for...

The Little Touch Leappad is great for teaching your little one. Three different stages for different ages helps your child continue learning and not get bored with the books. The books are drool-proof and tear-proof. A big plus for the 6-18 month childeren! While I love helping my daughter play these books it would be nice if she could do it by herself sometimes. You have to press GO each time you turn a page, but you have to press HARD! Same with the pictures on the pages. It would be more enticing to children if they could make the noises themselves. Despite the drawbacks I would recommend this...

I thought this would be a great toy for my then 18 month old child who loves to hear stories. However, this toy is nearly impossible for children to use by themselves. You have to press a button to load the page every time you turn it, which is very hard for a child to understand. And you have to really press down hard for it to work. It was good for mom & baby storytime, but if I'm going to be sitting there anyway, I'd rather read it myself. After a while, the book stopped working properly (probably because you have to press so hard on the buttons). I wouldn't recommend this product.

This product was so heavily advertised that my daughter received two when she was only 1 year old, but even now at 4 years old she doesn't really do anything with it.  I'm sure she could learn how to operate it, but she wants me to read to her, not an electronic book to read to her.  The LeapPad products are for school aged children, not babies.  Actually, I won't buy any of the LeapFrog products for my children because I prefer that they engage in imaginative learning play than factual learning play.

We bought this one hoping to share the love of reading with our youngest, and for her to have one like our oldest (she's got the LeapPad) daughter.  She's now 14 months and can use it fairly well-- when we purchased it, though, we thought we could use it much earlier.  At 7 months, we sat with her and tried but she almost tore the pages.  The pages are not as sturdy as they should be, especially for the little tikes. It's okay now, but we had to put it away for a little while.

 My son has had his Leappad for over a year now, and still plays with it. I love that you can buy new books for it. That keeps baby interested. He learns a lot from it. The toy teaches letters, colors, numbers, and animals. The pages are drool proof which equates to not having to throw away well used books. After my son has outgrown this toy I plan to pass it down to his younger cousin, I know it will still work, because it is so durable.

My daughter got this at her first birthday, and my son got one too. They can not hold their attention. It was way to complicated for such a young child. They do not understand what they are doing, half the time it didn't work right. Neither of my children like this toy. I would not recommend this toy for any young children. My daughter didn't start to understand it until she was 3, and by then, it was to boring for her.

Actually, I like it! My daughter is 16 months and we enjoy it. The only problem I have with this product is, my daughter keeps taking out the cartridge. It should have some kind of locking device on it so little ones don't remove them without the parent. Other than that, I like it!
