 "BATTERY SUCKING PIECE OF JUNK!" | 2008-10-30 |

| The company suggests using alkaline batteries (not longer lasting lithium). The downside to that is that this device will run for a couple days (so mere hours of play time) on alkaline batteries and then die. We've had ours for about 18-20 mos., and it doesn't work at all with batteries despite trying to "clean" the battery area. Lest you think we treat the thing poorly, that couldn't be further from the truth. My daughter is not snacking and drinking while using the Leapster. She's not dropping it on concrete floors. When she's done, it promptly goes back into a zipped up backback, along with the games, so it's kept dust free. The Leapster is in pristine condition. But does it work? Only with the AC Adapter, which means we can't take it anywhere with us. Leap Frog has managed to hood wink me into purchasing a Leapster and an L-Max, BOTH of which have the same problem (both of our devices LOOK in great condition and were taken excellent care of - way beyond what any company would expect from a consumer, so the problem isn't with us, but with the low longevity of the Leapster product.) The company does not stand behind this product and probably knows it's flaws (thus the 90 day warranty). If I could do it all over again, I'd buy a Nintendo DS or something that might actually turn on and stand up to some play time. Ugh. I'll never buy Leap Frog products again. |

| I got this for my 4 year old grandaughter and she loved it. She even took a sweater back to get another game for it. She was playing it in the morning, got in the car for preschool and continued playing, got in the car to come home and continued playing.Loves it! |

| We got two of these last year for our (then) six and four year old girl/boy. They LOVE them. It is one of the best toys we have EVER gotten them. I can not say enough good things about the Leapsters!!!! The only thing I would recommend is to get rechargeable batteries, the batteries do go quickly otherwise. The games are great though (my husband and I have played them after the kids went to bed!). And it is very educational, but so much fun the kids still really enjoy it. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| These are fantastic for our two kids (ages 3 and 5). The games are very educational and fun, too. The kids love to play them. The Leapsters are very well made and travel well. Great for car and plane trips, and they have a headset jack for the times where you don't want to disturb the folks near by. I highly recommend these systems. |

My daughter loves her "game boy" she got this toy for her 3-bday (May-08). With our help and leapfrog's she knows the letters and their sounds, shapes and colors. I have no problem at all with this game. I have been using Duracell rechargeable batteries which work excellent. I highly recommend the Kindergarten game.
