My three year old loves it!
This computer has been great for my three year old who doesn't nap anymore and needed a quiet activity to do during his quiet time after lunch. He loves it and this one works really well.

Leapfrog computer
Was a big hit on Christmas. We now have to limit the time he spends using it. Kids are so smart these days that it does not take much time for them to catch on. Can be a great babysitter when needing to get something done.

Mom of 3,5 & 7 yr olds
Bougth this for my 3 yr & 2mth old for Xmas 08. So far, the games that come with the console and the "Art Studio" cartridge we bought, have not engaged her. I'm am looking into buying additional games, but I am somewhat hesitant for the following reasons:

1) Batteries do not last more than 25 minutes of TOTAL play. We have already changed them twice (4 C batteries) and she has only played with it 3 times, for less than 10 minutes. I see that there's and adapter that can be purchased separetely... I am upset that this is not already included with the unit, as it is pretty much useless without it.

2) Very few games (3 max) per cartrdige, [...].

3) Games don't seem that engaging. Granted, we only have the basic ones and the Art Studio, but my daughter already got tired of them in 3 sits. She prefers by far PBSkids.org, which she is currently begging me to let her get on to play.

Perhaps for kids that have never been on a computer, this can probe entertaining, even educational. Maybe because my daughter is familiar with computers already- she browses on her own on PBSkids-, this game is boring to her. Don't know. [...]

Last thing, I would not recommend this for a child over 3 yrs old. It is misleading to say that the games are appropriate for children 3-6 yrs. My 5 yr old boy, was excited about it, tried it, and turned it off. And just so you know, this is the first year they have been exposed to anything other than PBSDkids.org (we bought him the Leapster 2, and he likes it).

Great product
My son got this for Christmas and loves it. The games that come with it help teach numbers, letters, colors & words. I like the fact that it has a qwerty keyboard which will help him as he gets older and uses a real computer. There's a spelling game that shows the letters on the screen in the same color it is on the keyboard which is extremely helpful. My son is 4 and plays the games that came with it as well as the Diego game. We just picked up the Toy Story game but haven't started with that yet. There are also games that require him to use the mouse as well. One game only uses the mouse and only requires they click on colored balls that splatter paint. Even my 2 year old can do that game and she enjoys it. I highly recommend this.
