Advantages: Easily portable, Lots of different books available, FUN learning toy
Disadvantages: none that spring to mind.

My First Leap pad Basically it's an interactive educational toy aimed at pre-school children aged 3-5. We started with the Leap-pad-Little-touch when the Boy was smaller and moved onto this one when he was 3. The My First Leap Pad Learning System itself is mainly blue with a few other colours here and there, like the 'magic pen', speaker, and on off button. It's quite a compact unit with a handy carry handle to one side, it's lightweight ...
...master, it's attached to the leap pad with a plastic covered chunky orange wire but the pen moves around easy and freely enough…but can never get lost - good design. Books All the books are double sided, one side being a story and the other more games, puzzles and activities to play. Once the Leap pad is on it will announce the book title and tell you what to do. To get started you need to touch the green go circle with the pen, then away ... Read review

...try. Another plus to Leap fog.

Excellent customer service. Next Addition: THe replacement microphone arrived last week (they did say it would be a bit of a wait) and with a couple of pinches taking the old one out and a push in of the new one and ...

Advantages: good plat value, lots of buttons, virtually unbreakable, only 1 battery
Disadvantages: suction strength could be better on the cup

This is a great little toy, which at £10 from the Early Learning Centre is not expensive if you are looking for a present for a little boy or girl. It is designed with a rubber suction cap on the bottom of it, so you can stick it down to a hard, solid surface. The idea is that you stick to the tray of your baby's highchair, to keep baby amused while you're preparing dinner, finishing your own meal or whatever, but it has good play value on the floor ...
...It is suitable for babies from six months - in other words they need to be able to sit up in their highchair unaided really and be ble to reach out to a toy, in order to get any play value from it, though, you can sit with a younger child on your knee and enjoy making the beeping noise and going "broom broom" if you want to - there is nothing unsafe about it for a younger child as far as I can see. My son was given one for Christmas last year when ... Read review
