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!!

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
