LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game System - Pink

This toy is so much fun, I think the time a child spends on it should be limited or he/she will not want to do anything else!

My daughter played this game for a couple years, then she got a nintendo ds and now she hardly plays it anymore.

I bought two Leapsters for my four and five year old children. My five year old has limited English and is very rough on this toy, but it has held up well. However, my four year old's Leapster stopped working within two weeks. We sent it back to the company for a replacement, and the stylus stopped working on the replacement in less than two weeks. She has not been rough on the toy and has barely had a chance to play with it much to her disappointment because it was her biggest birthday gift. I have considered just replacing it and biting the cost again, but when 2 out 3 haven't even lasted two weeks, I am not willing to fork another [...] out for this product. It tooks weeks of e-mails back and forth to replace the first one. Granted, I lost the receipt - had never had trouble with Leapster before, but I made it clear from the start that we wanted it for a long drive to our vacation destination - it was not replaced on time.

This was a replacement for my daughter's first Leapster. She had pressed too hard repeatedly on the screen and her newest games didn't sense areas anymore when she pressed on them with her stilus. Was disappointed to see that the protective plastic which came with her first one did not come with this one, which helps keep the screen from being damaged. Works fine otherwise, but I won't replace again. Too expensive.

Both my older kids have a Leapster. I paid much more for ours. This is a GREAT deal. Your child will play with this for HOURS at a time and LEARN while they are playing.
