long shot i know cos most of you have toddlers, but anyones kids got one and would you reccomend it, im thinking of getting leo one for xmas?? x

There's been loads of posts about these. I think lots of parents of 2-3 yr olds on here are getting them. I'l try and find a thread for you and post a link up.

Caitlin not getting one as I think they way too advanced for her. Maybe next year when hopefully they be down in price too!!!

yeah i think there is a few comments on a post about this in the christmas section thta might be helpful to you xx

We've got a leap pad for Ellie and oh has been setting it up tonigh and it's bloody brilliant, she's gonna love it. They're meant to be for 4+ but Ellie uses our iPad so we reckon shell love this.

brilliant thanx ladies, i think leo will love it and by the time he grows out of it, it can be passed on to oliver x

I went for the leappad in the end and I have run the batteries out already but gonna get the adapter for it Jaiden gonna love it he keeps on about playing with my fone, complains that the laptop isnt touch screen hahaha so i think he will love it

tara is there a lot already on it, games and stuff?? x

Izzys innotab is on the way ... I think 4 is a bit too old as the minimum tbh - Izzy has lots of games and learning stuff that are similar on my Samsung ... she can use them fine, she unlocks my screen, goes to my contacts and can find my mum, my dad and dan...and also randomly rings people she likes the look of from their FB profile pic!

She also knows how to take photos, open the gallery and look through them.

Seeing as these are all the things I want her to do on her own thing (well bar the calling!) - the innotab is perfect!!!

Now where IS my phone!?

well ive had no phone call today so it wasnt me this time

C is having the leap pad she can also open her dads iphone and get her own apps up so i think she will get the hang of it straight off and since shes leanring her letters now it will be perfect

I have had a play with the Innotab today ... its great (and Dan wants one now )

Its really easy to use and can actually be used with just a finger (as I didn't realise there was a pokey thing lol) Its got everything she will want

Just got to rummage out an SD card so I can store stuff and then its perfect!

Been loading Caelyns up. Its now got the gratis Art Studio, story studio, sing along video and leappet plus i got a voucher for a free game called Alphabet Stew.

My sis also got her a download card for crimbo so shes got land animals flashcards, sea animals flashcards and a disney princess e book

cheers ladies...well iv decided to get oliver a mobigo, as he will get leo's leappad passed on to him lol...

anyhow lisa my main concern is leo is quite a brain box lol, and im worried the leappad/innotab whicheve i decide to get will be too 'simple'...im guessing youv had a good go on it lol...do you think it is ok for a 7yo?? x

I think the leappad might be too young for him Gemz, the innotab im not sureabout

hmmm oh dear, i think the innotab is very similar...may have to rethink xmas lol!! cheers chick x

LOL I havent really had a good go!

BUT from what I have seen yeh I'd say too simple for 7 yrs old ... just not sure he'd get the 'wow' factor that a toddler would about it either - cos for them its like their own little touchscreen gizmo lol

Looking at the games etc available id say 2/3-5/6 is the optimum age
