Leapster L-Max [Posted on 2008-05-15] Fantastic product! Simple enough for my 3 yr old to use and still entertaining for my 11 yr old. The inbuilt games are great and the option of having it plugged into the t.v. is fantastic. Make sure you buy good quality rechargable batteries as they do run out pretty fast.
Good but... [Posted on 2008-05-22] The leapster lets your child feel like they are playing video games, but you feel good because they are learning.
However, it's a pricey toy that gets played with for a short while, and then forgotten.
Leapfrog customer service is awful, and not customer focused, so my review of any of their products is tainted by my experience with the company. If you don't deal with them and your product never breaks, you'll be lucky. : )
My recommendation is spend more time reading and playing with your child, and save $80-100. They will learn how to read, write and add just as fast.
Perfect Traveling Entertainment [Posted on 2008-06-12] I bought this L-Max for my 5 year old over a year ago & she has really enjoyed it. Very handy for long trips. We've hooked it up to our tv, but very rarely use that feature. Wish there was a larger variety of games for the L-Max that is tailored for girls. Great for younger children, but would not recommend this for children over the age of 7. My oldest child has a Nintendo and my youngest is starting to play with it more often than her L-Max.
Leapfrog replaced it free, no questions asked AFTER the warranty had expired! [Posted on 2008-07-16] We purchased an LMAX for our five year old for Christmas, and she loved it. It worked wonderfully for the first 5 months or so, then the screen just went- you could hear the game going, but the screen was blank. We put in a call to Leapfrog, they told us to send it in. We did, and exactly 1 week later, went outside and tripped over a brand new one in a box on our front step. To top it off, the new one had a screen cover on it, whereas ours hadn't had one. We were so impressed. The warranty was only supposed to be 90 days, we were well past that, and the turn-around time was amazing. The customer service was impeccable. I strongly recommend this product for many reasons (oh, and if you look up leapfrog coupon codes on google, I'd be willing to bet you'll find one that will make it worth your time! ;) )
Well worth the $$$! [Posted on 2008-07-30] We have 3 boys, ages 3, 5, and 7. We were trying to hold out on video games since it will probably be inevitable at some point, but this Leapster is not your typical video game. They are learning a lot and are most definitely using their brains while they're playing. We have a few games, some letter/word ones as well as math. And they all love to play with it- it was very easy for them to just pick up and start playing. Even the 3-yr old. It goes through batteries pretty quickly, but we use an old portable DVD player car adapter cord with it in the car now and the same player's regular power cord if we use it in the house, so batteries are not an issue anymore! Highly recommend this product.
