I have just received my pink leap pad and connected it to the leapfrog site to setup and download apps prior to giving it as a present for my daughter's 6th birthday. It looks really nice, buttons easy, screen is very responsive, camera (once i removed the protective plastic) pretty clear, not tried video. The leapfrog site is really easy to use and I already have my eye on a few more games that look good. Obviously I have only had a little play with it but it looks like a good combination of fun and educational, the marketing really emphasises the educational but the games actually look fun and easy to play. I was seriously considering one for my 3 year old but I don't think she is ready yet. I think 4 is probably an accurate starter age.

I bought this as a gift for my 3 year old daughter. She loves it as does her 6 year old brother who constantly wants to borrow it. They both enjoy hours of fun using it. It seems to be very solidly constructed and durable - important for the target age group. The activities and games keep both kids absorbed for hours.
I have a coule of quibbles both of which relate to the batteries. Firstly, there are two battery cavities, one at each side of the unit. Each one has a divider which comes between both batteries. While these may be intended to give some additional stability to the batteries they are unnecessary and make the extraction of two of the used batteries difficult and frustrating for an adult and all but impossible for a young child. If the product were out of warranty I would remove them.
The second quibble has to do with battery life which is woefully short. The unit is powered by four double A batteries. I resorted to buying a battery charger and 8 double A rechargeable batteries. The unit goes through 2 sets of batteries every day. The unit's appetite for batteries is insatiable. My advice to parents thinking of buying this toy for a child is that you need to budget for a rechargeable battery unit as well. Otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the demand for batteries. This also raises the issue of why, in this day and age, an educational toy manufacturer is producing a toy that is so obviously not eco-friendly.
In terms of a toy that is great fun and which will keep kids engaged and absorbed for long periods this is first rate. What brings it down is its insatiable appetite for batteries which may indicate that insufficient thought was put into this aspect of its design making it anything but eco-friendly. It appears to me that LeapFrog are passing their responsibility for the environment on to parents who, because of the sheer costs involved in keeping this toy powered will be compelled to purchase rechargeable batteries and a recharging unit.

Bought the Leap pad for my daughter's 4th birthday it is a huge success for both her and my 8yr old. They love creating video's and taking pictures. The games are a little expensive so haven't bought any yet. Santa will bring a few possibly. Jewel train and the pet game with letter tracing have been enjoyed for hours. Would recommend to everyone.

Batteries are a let down
nice product and toy - my daughter loves it - let down by use of batteries and have also found the apps a bit limiting

A must have purchase.
This case is really well made and has secure storage for 6 of the little games cartridges. Well worth buying it considering the cost of the LeapPad Explorer.
