Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game System - Pink
Customer Review: Took one back, then figured out the problem.
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this for our 4 year old, who was so excited she didn't want to hand it over so we could pay for it. She had it for about a week, with the Puppy Pals game, and then we started having issues. The screen got black splotches all over it. I was very upset, i mean we pay good money for these toys and then they turn to junk after very little play. So i had my husband take it back and exchange it, because i figure everything needs a second chance. So we've had the new one for about a week now, and my daughter brings it to me this morning and again the screen is splotchy black. So right after i emailed my husband, ticked off again, i started messing with it. And you know what i figured out? My kid likes pushing on buttons, all of the buttons, including the one that makes the screen darker or lighter. So, now that i've figured out that the first one didn't really have to be returned, i'm quite happy with this toy :) And have no complaints. So to anyone who has this issue, its not the games fault, your kid just likes pushing all the different buttons to see what they do. These two buttons are on the bottom, opposite of the volume buttons. Happy Learning!Customer Review: Leapster teaches 4 year old "buyer beware"

My daughter received the Pink Leapster as a christmas gift (in March by the time we got together with our friends) and less than three months later, it is a piece of useless junk. It won't even turn on.
I called customer service and after waiting on hold for over 30 minutes, listening to their instructions on what to do if the leapster will not turn on (clearly this is a widespread problem), they told me that they will not do anything about it even though it is less than 6 months old and has only been played with a handful of times. They don't even have a "fix" for it. So if you have a problem outside of the 90 days, you are out of luck from Leap Frog, they won't support it or replace it.
I will NOT buy another product from this company, simply because they do not stand behind their products or provide good customer service. I will also advise others to go elsewhere.
One thing is clear, the Leapster is, in fact, a learning tool, my daughter has learned the meaning of "buyer beware" but also that "there are other toys in the toy aisle". Unfortunately, the lessons of real life and big business are a bit complex for a 4 year old!
Customer Review: son's favorite x-mass gift

I love this toy and so does my son (4). I have been researching Leapster and v-tech for over a year and decided on Leapster because of reviews i had read and also the fact that the video's they make are great. My kids love tad and to bring tad into a game is great. My son loves the cars game already he is learning his numbers ( a concept he was getting with me that they symbol 4 was the same as 4 pieces of candy now it clicks. I home school and i love the reinforcement of the games with my lessons. If you are thinking about a game system for a child think twice before buying a game boy get something that is fun and teaches.
It is also very durable my son had dropped it many times. I am also glad that i researched the L-max verses the Leapster i did not find it worth the extra money just to have a few extra games and be able to hook it into a TV. If it has a screen on it who needs a TV. Also on the Leapster we have found that the green and pink design is much easier to hold then the other one. Any who this is a great buy and worth the money
Customer Review: Excellent gift for my 4 and 6 year olds!

My parents wanted to get my girls each a nintendo ds for their birthday. I was hesitant as I am not much for video games but they went ahead and sent them ahead to see our thoughts. In the meantime a friend suggested the leapster as a better alternative. The more I researched the more I felt lead to return the nintendos as soon as they arrived for the leapsters. That is what we did.
Reading, crafts and nature exploration are our fun outlets. I didn't want a video game system coming in to ruin the nice flow we have going here without adding any educational value to our home. I wanted something that was not just fluff but also was fun to enjoy. I think the leapster fits that nicely. It's a good item for car rides, or a long wait at a restaurant, or a 4 hour car trip on vacation.
I am very impressed with the graphics, the quality and the fun and above all learning factors of the games we have played so far.
This is a toy you can feel good about adding to your home.And will even enjoy yourself : )
Customer Review: I'm glad they had pink

I have two young adopted sons, and some grandchildren the same ages. I got green ones for my sons, and now have to buy two more for my grandchildren, whom I babysit. They loved their uncle's games so much I have to get two more to prevent a lot of fighting. So I got another green one(for grandson), thank goodness it comes in pink for my granddaughter. I would hate to have 4 green ones!!! So far they love them.
I went to Leapfrog website and you can find some bargins there. I got them all, plug in power and game wallets. Next I needed a carrying case, I read at www.healthytoys.org that Leapfrog's cases are full of lead. So, out shopping I saw insulted lunch bags on clearence, they work perfect. Well padded, nontoxic, and cheap. Brand I got was Artic Zone. It has a square bottom with zipper (for sandwich) game machine fits perfect in here, even with a game left in. Top of lunch bag is plenty big enough for game wallet and charger. I haven't gotten headphones yet, so don't know if they would fit or not, but they might.
