As you may have gathered from my previous review (of the Innotab 2) I bought a Leappad 2 for my 4 year old daughter for Christmas (I bought the Innotab 2 for my 6 year old daughter). The Leappad 2 is a handheld tablet for kids, made by the well known brand Leapfrog. First impressions of the Leappad 2 were that it was compact (significantly smaller than the Innotab 2 but with the same screen size), nice to hold, and easy to navigate. As with all of these sorts of toys, set up was required before any sort of play could begin. So with it being a Christmas present, I didn't want to be spending Christmas Day attached to the computer trying to figure out how to ...  Read the complete review

Whenever I get my tablet out my daughter asked to play or will try and lean over me and press the buttons, because of this I decided to get her a tablet of her own. After looking around I decided on the Leap Pad 2. Normally it is priced around £80, but because I bought it in November I managed to get it for £64 in John Lewis. The tablet is for ages 3-9, my daughter is almost 2 but as she is already quite handy with my phone and tablet so I thought she would manage to work it fine. The tablet comes in 2 colours green and pink. It requires 4 x AA batteries to work and these aren't supplied. You can get a rechargeable battery pack however before christmas this ...  Read the complete review

My mum is looking after three foster children at the moment and at Christmas she decided to buy the Leappad 2 for the eldest, Bruce who is seven and the Innotab 2 for the two younger children who were five and three at the time, she also bought the Innotab 2 for my son who is three (If you're reading this thanks again mum it is a great present. X). Mum managed to find both tablets for just under £50. Bruce was as excited at his Leappad as the younger boys were about their Innotabs, the Leappad looks a lot more like an adult device than the Innotab and is definitely geared up to slightly older children. I was given the enviable task of setting up the tablets. ...  Read the complete review

I do not like children been stuck in front of a computer screen! They should be having fun!! Until my twp daughters aged two and three got obsessed with the alphabet app. A few days after they learnt the alphabet. So to save my phone battery we looked around and seen the new leap pads that had come out! They looked fab. Only problem is that you have to purchase the adapter separate and batteries dont last long. The games are a bit over priced, but you can buy an app download card, where you can purchase the apps off your profile that you set up via the internet. All the games you buy are put onto your account and you can put them on both leappads!!! So you do not have to  Read the complete review

My 4 year old has always had an amazing imagination and has never been near a "computer or games console" but i thought i should get him one as all his friends have some kind of console so i looked into this and it is amazing, it teach things like reading spelling and writing it opens the door to lots of avenues depending on the games you choose for your child, it also has learning songs built into it which he sits and sings to his 5 month old sister, he has learnt lots of new things since having it and it hasnt spoilt his imagination you can download games from the site for as little as £3.50 which is amazing, download books, songs etc It has a built ...  Read the complete review
