I purchased the Vtech V-Smile for my grandchildren ages 2, 4 and 5. It has such a wide range of programs you are able to purchase that all three of them can enjoy this player and have fun while they are learning. The controllers are easy for them to handle and the programs are very diversified. I really feel this was worth the money and if it can stand up to three boys the way it has, then it is certainly well made.
