LeapFrog LeapPad 3 Learning Tablet (Pink)

Product Information

In the past, we have tried the Leappad Ultra (this year replaced by the Ultra XDi) and also the closest competitor, the Innotab in its various forms so it was a very interesting comparison.

He already happily scrolls through the iPad to get to YouTube Kids and enjoys being able to choose what he watching. You complete various mini tasks to help other characters prepare for the surprise party they are throwing for Minnie.Any older, and the content can prove a bit babyish and unlikely to keep an older child interested for long, when there are so many other gadgets for older kids on the market. However, the LeapPad 3 and its parent company LeapFrog has won a barrage of awards for its educational value.

He also knows exactly how to exit out of YouTube Kids and go to the main YouTube App which is completely uncensored. Older LeapPads needed four AA batteries but the LeapPad 3 comes with a built-in lithium ion battery, along with a USB cable and charger which I found convenient. The LeapPad 3 has a built-in rechargeable battery (power supply also supplied) so no need for constantly replacing batteries and gives up to 6 hours of use without recharging (with wi-fi off).The LeapPad3 created by LeapFrog is a high performance learning tablet designed for children between the ages of 3 and 9. Furthermore, once you have created your new parent lock code when setting up the unit again, you can reset the 4-digit code anytime by accessing the Parent Settings screen of the tablet.

It’s also had to put up with a lot of sticky fingers poking at its screen, but it’s still lived to tell the tale. I'd prefer it if the grey colouring on the front wasn't already scraping off (not very kid-proof, that) but I think that's largely cosmetic and it would be EXCELLENT if it didn't reset the volume (up to about 75%) every time you switch it off.It is a big improvement and one which I think will mean that we use the Leappad as much as, possibly more than the family iPad.
