LeapFrog My First Leappad Learning System Reviews

My daughter received the My First Leap Pad system as a gift when she was three years old.  The Leap Pad system came the "Leap's Big Day" two in one flip book which has an activity side and a read to me story side. I was surprised how quickly my daughter, and later my son, figured out how to use the stylus and all of the options on My First Leap Pad.  At age three, this was very much a Mommy and me sit on the couch and play together toy but by age four, my children both enjoyed using the My First Leap Pad independently.  We took the time to teach them well how to insert cartridges and flip books...

I actually bought one of these used for my 5 year old son and he absolutely loves it.  I am planning on buying one for my 2 year old daughter soon too because she always wants to play with his.  I have family about 2 hours away from where my husband and I live, when we drive down to see them, my son will play with this almost the whole time.  Has a volume control so it doesn't drive you nuts while you are on the road.  Very easy to use.  The books are surprisingly durable and afforable.  He has had other toys similar to this and the book/cartridge combos cost twice as much and the books fall...

Leap Frog was first given to my daughter in 1995 after the birth of my son.  She was able to carry it out with her to keep her busy with something to do.  I loved the fact that she was excited about learning and listening to the stories.  Her faviote was with math games and colors.  She never left home without it and never went to bed without telling a story to her baby brother, who by the way seemed to be quiet long enough to get through the story that was being told. 

As a mother, one of the most interesting things I found about Leap Frog was that it was very durable.  I was able to pass...

I purchased the My First Leap Pad, Leap Frog Learning Center for my son. While my son has a speech delay, even with help he had trouble knowing how to use this program. The books do not sit on the unit properly. Consequently, when my son would click on something, the sound we heard pertained to another page or story.

I didn't feel that the money was well-spent on this item. Within one year, the wire/cord for the stylus/pen was coming out of the unit creating an electrical hazard.

While some Leap Frog products are good learning tools, it seems there's a new one on the store shelf every month - an...

WE purchased this product. My First Leap Pad for our daughter. She was 3 years old at the time. She was so excited when she opened it on christmas day. The leap pad was very easy for her to turn on and definately toddler friendly. She turned the product right on and started playing the program that came with the leap pad. The nice things is that it is a front and back book, so when they get bored of one side, they can flip it over and use the other. My first leap pad is very druable my daughter has dropped this thing down the steps on numorous occasions. My first leap pad was also a life saver...

Leap frog is a good toy for your children to play with. I used leap frog when i was a little girl. I got it for christmas...it was a math multiplication leap frog toy. It actually works. In high school, i was taking honors math and science because i worked better and faster than some of the people in my class. I would say that leap frog helped me get in these honors classes. I know multiplication from the top of my head now all because of leap frog.there are other kinds of leap frog toys too. my little cousins have alot of them. I actually gave my little cousin my multiplication leap frog toy and...

I love the Leapfrog Jr. books and my 3 year old does as well.  You can read a story on one side and flip the book over to play games.  Kids can use the attached pen to help read the words and play the games by touching the pen to the book. 

 He enjoys the stories and games and I enjoy that he is leaning valuable reading, counting and other skills.  Leapfrog offers multiple books and cartridges in several different popular stories.

The My First Leap Pad was an excellent gift for my 4 year old son.  He has been having some speech issues but the book clearly pronounces everything for him and also keeps him fully entertained.  I would suggest gettting a carrying case for the books and cartridges because they are easy to lose.  One other drawback is that I feel like the stores do not carry enough of the books.  Good buy though.
