LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Tablet

Toys are getting more and more like adult gadgets, with the must have toy for Christmas, 2011, the LeapPad Explorer, being no exception. The LeapPad, as the name implies, is a junior version of hand held tablets like the iPad aimed at the 4-9 year old market. My 3 and a half year old was bought a LeapPad for Christmas, and has taken to the technology like a baby takes to drinking milk. This system with its touch screen technology is very intuitive for even a small child to get their head round. My son had not asked for this toy, but when my mum asked what she could buy him for Christmas, I ... more

We bought our daughter a LeapPad for her 4th birthday and it has been an absolute hit. It uses 4 AA batteries, we have been using duracell rechargeable batteries, which are well worth investing in.

It uses 4 AA batteries, which I thought was fine, but later discovered it eats them like mad so we decided to buy some decent rechargeable batteries. The LeapPad has ... more

We bought this for our 2 year old son back in October for a Christmas present. It may have been a little advanced for him but as he was already beginning to use the touch screen on my mobile phone we though he would struggle with the interface on this product. This is a tablet style PC billed as for being for children between 4 and 7 but as my lad is a little ahead of himself. We what can I say, he absolutely adores his leap pad it goes everywhere with him, even to bed. The touch screen menus are very easy to use and he has had no trouble in getting access to the pre-loaded games and ... more
