We got a Innotab last year and although there are cartridges that you can buy, there is also apps online. We've bought a few but not so many. But then it hasn't been used as much as we thought it would. If you are the kind of folk who are getting lots of apps / games etc for other devices (phones, ipads etc) then its possible that the approach will rub off on your daughter and she'll want the same for her computer. It may depend on age too. My elder daughter would probably go through more whereas the younger one is happier with less.
We bought a LeapPad2 for our almost 3 year old and he loves it. I haven't yet purchased any other apps but there's plenty on there to keep him amused and there are different levels for different ages. I was getting really over having him wanting to use my phone all the time - it's perfect for long journeys in the car. Would definitely recommend it.

Yep - both our three year old and 5.5 year old have leap pads and love them. We have bought a few apps for them, but they also come with loads on and have loads of useful features, We went on the ferry yesterday and our three year old took photos with her 'pad' the whole way.


And we sat through Dark Knight Rises with the girls in the room last night, both watching their own games/movies on the pads with their headphones on - so not traumatised by Batman's scary enemies.


A great buy IMO.

i bought the innotab 1 off ebay. can it do the same thing as number 2. also the games are so pricey does anyone know where i can get them cheaply? can the innotab 1 download games or just 2? think i may have got the wrong one.

Thought that this was a pretty good review of the Leapfrog and the VTech Innotab which seem to be the head to head competitors

Both sound pretty good!

Just to resurrect this - I have to be missing something with this leap pad business. On the strength of these recommendations we got one for our ipad loving youngest son - but where are the games already on it? And he's not really into the stylus thing? And no rechargable batteries - they seem to last 5 minutes. Argh!!

    • Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
