Dustybug Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Can anyone compare these two? My DD's 6th birthday is next month and we are thinking of getting her one of these as one of her gifts, but I don't really know much about them.

itsheresomewhere Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 If it were me, I would go with the Kindle Fire or an IPad instead. I think you would get quite a bit more use out of those. My neighbor bought the leapfrog one for Christmas for her 7 year old and the child is bored with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuzu822 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 There are a few YouTube videos comparing the two that might be helpful. :) If it were me, I would go with the Kindle Fire or an IPad instead. I think you would get quite a bit more use out of those. My neighbor bought the leapfrog one for Christmas for her 7 year old and the child is bored with it. If we were going to lift the screen time ban, my DH said the same thing. Problem is, I don't want to give up my iPad time. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogerella Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We upgraded daughter from the Leapster Explorer to the LeapPad in August. Love, love, love it! My daughter is 4 going on 5 in March. I love that all the games are educational and don't have to worry about what she is viewing. They claim the system is for ages 4-8, but if my daughter were 6 I would really hesitate to get it b/c it may not be advanced enough for her. Last year a friend purchased the Leapster 2 for her 6 year old daughter and she never played with it. So this year they bought her a DSI. Our neighbor's son is 6 going on 7 and he asked for the LeapPad for Christmas after playing with my daughter's. However, it wasn't the game that interested as much as the camera/video capabilities.
