LeapStart 3D Interactive Learning System, Green

I bought this for a child with autism and he loves it.

In order The quality of the product is very good, made for kids. Cute color, sound quality is good too. Perfect size for a toddler. I would definitely recommend.

We are obsessed with our leapfrog 3D learning system!! We have collected 30 books so far, and this is our second purchase of this system. I purchased one 2 yrs ago and it stopped working, so it was time to replace it. After the other one lasting 2 yrs, I have to say it's worth the additional $50 for the next couple of years. The system requires batteries, and I highly recommend rechargeable batteries. Just trust me on that one. How does this system work? Well you need a laptop or a computer so you can download the book audios to the system. There is not a ton of storage so you cant download all of your books at a time. You can have about 6-7 books on your system at a time, depending on the amount of storage each of the books takes up, bc it varys. The 3D books take up way more storage then the story books. With that being said, I usually trade out books once a week. I have my daughter pick the ones she wants for the week. Then we change them out the following week. I homeschool my daughter, and I cant tell you how much I love these books! My daughter always gets excited to pick her books for the week and I never have to make her use her leapfrog. She plays on her leapfrog daily. It makes me so proud of her, that she enjoys learning. I am very thankful that leapfrog made this system. Tips: I admit it took some getting use to when I first downloaded the system a couple of years ago. But once I got in a good routine of downloading and undownloading the books, it became quick and easy. One book I purchased from the UK and we live in the US. Well I didnt know the books were different. (Makes sense though.) There is a tab so you can download your UK books and US books. You just have to switch back and forth while downloading. And yes you can have UK and US books downloaded at the same time on this system. My critique to the company would be to include better instructions for different downloading methods and other issues that can arise while setting up this system. I had to go through trial and error and there were times where I was so fed up and frustrated. The frustration can be avoided if you could provide more detailed instructions, information and troubleshooting for problems that can arise. Overall, even with the hurdles of when you first recieve this system it's worth it in the long run. Getting to see your child(ren) enjoy learning is amazing. And this learning system helps to encourage that.

This would be five stars if not for the fact that you have to hook it up to a computer in order to load anything on it (due to the difficulty of loading the information and the lack of memory space, I really wanted to give it a 3). It also cannot hold very many books really. The storage space is too small. Which is quite ridiculous. I was unable to load all the books I bought for my daughter on it at one time. And in order to switch any of the information you have to plug it into a computer... again. Then, you have to pick certain books to remove in order to make space for other ones. This is an amazing device and an amazing idea and extremely cute and fun. What torture for parents having to plug this thing into a physical computer (like twenty years ago) to load anything on it. Leap frog, please get with the times and fix your technology and spend an extra three cents to put enough memory in these things. Please also preload all the content. So, all we have to do is buy a book, and the thing works. Don't expect to wrap this up and a child open it and be able to play with it right away. They will not be able to play with it until you plug it into a computer and load the data to the device.

Muy bueno

Purchased this for my son, and I love how it’s something that can grow with him. The books are labeled for age level which is nice, so I’m not getting him books that are too advanced or too low of a learning level for him- he’s only 3. This version with the 3D screen is so much cooler than I remember (my little sisters had the original Leap Frog book with the interactive pen lol) You do have to plug it into the computer to download the books, which is fine with me. The set up was fast and easy. Initially It took about 20 minutes from start to finish (you have to download some things first to get it set up) but once you make an account, it’s as simple as plugging it in, logging in and downloading more books (or making room for new ones, I have only downloaded 3 books so far, about 5 minutes at most) I have read that it doesn’t have the greatest storage capacity, but that’s to be expected with all of the interactive 3D things the books now do. I purchased for $40 which I think is a pretty fair price for what you get (one starter book is included). You can charge the book, charger/usb is included, or it takes 2 AA batteries. Also I like the size: it’s not too big and bulky but also not too small. Easy to bring in the car, restaurants, etc. Overall pretty happy.

Grandkids love Leap Frog toys and they’re pretty smart kids!

So irritating! Nowhere does this say you have to hook to a computer! I bought this + books + headphones + a case for my granddaughter for Christmas and after days of her being upset because she can’t use it and my daughter being frustrated, we discovered that it’s not working because it has to be hooked to a computer to get the audio and this isn’t compatible with Mac. Why in the world is the audio not just in it like it used to be? Why do we have to complicate children’s toys!? We should be able to open it and set it before the child to be played with and enjoyed. We shouldn’t need an IT degree to help our child play with their Christmas present. Do better Leapfrog…. This one is leaping right back to Amazon!
