LeapFrogLeapStart 3D Interactive Learning System, Green

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.

In orderThe 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.

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

The media could not be loaded. 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.

We bought the books and are so happy with the product. My son is going into first grade and my daughter I going into kindergarten. We want to continue growth throughout the summer and this product will help with that. The design is somewhat larger than I would like with travel but will work. The assembly and set up was effortless. The quality is excellent and very durable. My daughter thinks it is fun so that will help with learning. It is an educational entertainment that gets kids away from devices.

Love it

My son got this in March for his 3rd birthday and just loves it. It has a little bit of the appeal of screen time (with his favorite characters) without ACTUALLY being screen time, and he's learning while he's at it! Its also durable. It gets dropped way more than is ok and its still chugging.It does have some issues to know. I listed below. But I'm still giving it 5 stars because I'd buy it again and again and again regardless.3 issues:-KILLS through batteries. I ended up buying rechargeable because when he gets on a kick its replacing them at least once a week.-Says it can fit a bit more books in its memory than I am finding (you download content of whatever books you buy). We have 6 including the small sample, and it is full. I can't really buy anymore without removing other ones. Once he moves to a harder level I will take the easier ones off, but for now were stuck-The sample included truly is a sample- more an advertisement for what you can buy. It would have been nice to get a little bit beefier of a starter book, but you really need to buy supplements upfront
