Still Loving our LeapPad2

So last month I reviewed the new LeapPad2 and my boys still love it.  Just the other day I downloaded a Rescue Bots video, Globe Game and Cooking Game, which I absolutely love that they have an app store.  Oh and since we have two LeapPads (one old and one new) they can both have the new apps I purchase on each device!

Here is a quick re-cap of my LeapPad2 Review:

Some of my favorite features of the original LeapPad:

  • Games compatible with Leapster Explorer and LeapPad (we have both so its nice not to buy different games)
  • Ability to download games through an App store at reasonable prices
  • Built-in Camera and video recorder
  • Good size for kids to play and hold in their hands
  • Stylus included and can be attached with string

The new LeapPad 2 has all the above features and then some!

Main differences between LeapPad 2 and LeapPad:

  • Camera in Front and Back of LeapPad 2 (only 1 camera on back of LeapPad)
  • Bigger Memory Size (4 GB compared to 2 GB)
  • Recharger available
  • Up to 9 hrs. of battery life (compared to only up to 8 hrs.)
  • Bigger Processor (550 Mhz vs. 393 Mhz.)
Overall, we love the LeapPad 2. It has everything I’d want in a tablet for my preschooler and it will grow with my child. The recommend ages are 3-9 years old and my sons are 4 and 5, with no inkling that they are letting it go. Now I will say I have a friend who her son thought it was too babyish compared to the Nintendo DS his older siblings had, but while it may seem babyish it is more than appropriate for kids. The games and books grow with your child and become more challenging as they continue on. The games are in-line with their ages and you don’t have to worry about in-appropriate content or them doing something you don’t want them to. Oh and once you hook up the LeapPad 2 to the computer you can check your child’s play and learning progress, redeem rewards (print certificates or downloads), and create a personalized learning experience by customizing their name and favorites.

BUY IT:  Look for the LeapPad2 at your local retailer this month for a suggested retail of $99.99!

WIN IT:  (1) US winner will receive a LeapPad2 and the game “Phineas & Ferb” ($125 value)
