Leapfrog Scout My Own Leaptop (Pink)

This is a very good toy. It is fun and you learn with it. I bought it for my two year old son and he adores it. You connect it to a computer and write the name of your child say Romeo. so each time you turn it on it says "Hello Romeo" you don't choose from pre-set names, you write whatever your child is known as say Sammy, Johnie, Kiki, Nikki, or any short cut name. It allows you to make that choice, so it makes the toy so personal for your child. It calls his name now and then. The email too is a brilliant idea. as we listen to the emails I composed to my son. he just beams with excitement! It is a good toy both for fun and learning. You learn have 26 alphabets with different 26 sounds of any musical instrument, 26 different sounds of different animals, 26 names of animals that begin with each letter of the alphabet and some music. How brilliant! and it celebrates the letter that begins with your child's name. The battery life is also good. It takes only 2 small batteries and really lasts. my little boy adores it and i think is a very good bargain and worth every penny. No regrets.

I brought this for my 20month old son for Christmas and as advised setted it up the night before via my own but not so colourful laptop. Very easy to set up and straight forward. I love the fact that you have the choice of US English or UK English. Not only with the accent but with the sound of words/letters too. Especially where the differences are in Z and also the choices of mummy or mommy etc. These things are important with reguard to where our children grow up, since these are everyday sounds/letters they hear so kudo's for the choice of the English! From the moment my son first pressed a button he was laughing and engaged into it. It was hard pressed getting him to open the rest of his presents as he was happy to just sit and play with his leaptop!! I got it when the price was reduced but will say It's worth every penny as the child will grow with this toy for a long while to come learning his ABC's, Counting and music! Even having email's from his mum! lol

I've been impressed by several LeapFrog toys, including this one, but not so impressed by their support. I don't know if I did something wrong, but after setting up his name, the toy speaks in mixed American and British accents. Most of it is British, but blogs, some emails and pressing the letter key of our son's name come out in American. Maybe it is because I am in Peru, or maybe it is because I used the Mac version of the connect software -- although the connect software is set to UK/Ireland, and the toy was bought in the UK. Support is a confusing mess, but eventually I sent a message to UK support, and they replied with a canned message asking me to send the item to a UK Freepost address for analysis. So that is an unhelpful dead end. It seems more likely to be a problem with the Connect software anyway. Well, never mind. The toy itself is doing its job. Just the other day I was drawing a turtle for our 2-year-old son and he immediately went to his 'computer' and pressed the T key to get the turtle to display. So he is certainly learning from it.

I bought the Leaptop for my grandson Ethan and was very pleased with the quality. I have previously purchased other leapfrog toys and always rate them very highly. When l'm looking after Ethan he loves to send an 'E' to mammy and always has a smile on his face whislt doing it. He is 2 1/2 years old and bangs on the keys like crazy so very pleased its durable. Although I must admit it looked very strange watching him the first time he used it. His little fingers were tapping on the keybaord like a well trained typist. For the price it amazing. Only thing I would change is music choice it would have been nicer to have popular nursery rhymes with lyrics for him to sing along to. Would highly recommend it.

very nice size for childrent to handle/open & use. Can be personalised via USB link to Leapfrog website. This allows for your own child's name to be inserted to Laptop, it tells the child it has "e mails" & reads the "message" and who its "from" (again pre-set options - Mummy/Daddy et et, decent amount of options-(from a list of pre-set options, when you log-in to personalise the Laptop). Nice learning aid/toy that give's because it can be personalised slightly, give's it an edge, useful especially for younger children. Great price at under fifteen pounds when purchased on Amazon.Battery life very good.

I was flirting with the idea of buying a more expensive innotab / tablet for my 2 year old daughter but decided she was a bit too young. I ordered this almost as an after thought but ut has been a HUGE hit Educational & fun. The graphics are a little bit basic but it really doesn't compromise the enjoyment (the rabbit looks suspiciously similar to the kangaroo for example!) And what I really love is the fact it folds like a real laptop and has a handle so its truly transportable For £15 I can't recommend this enough. I think it will keep her interested for at least a year

I read some good reviews for this toy and I do like the fact it has a lot of different features, so giving our son different places to visit when one feature is tired with. It's good to introduce a child to letters when they are starting to talk as well. I also like the idea you can personalise with his name and songs of choice. However, some fundamental errors with this toy. The first, which has given you the low score.....X is for Ox! is it now?! Was it sheer laziness or stupidity on the part of Leapfrog not to find an creature beginning with X? A 10 second google search (animals beginning with X) throws up plenty - try Xantus, X-ray fish......Shame on you Leapfrog! And if you child has a remotely unusual name - our's begins with H and is scottish - they cannot correct an incorrect pronunciation - so when the computer says his name it simply drops the H. If your child has a even vaguely off-the-norm name don't expect Leapfrog to say it correctly....so why offer the feature if you really cannot personalise? The screen is not lit in any way - if in slightly dim light this is a problem. But for the £15 we paid for it, it's okay and our son does like it. And it's a bit of fun since he has seen my husband and I working on our laptops. Durability - we don't know yet but it seems robust enough unless, perhaps you have a boistrous child. I wouldn't get this for a 3 year old.

Sturdy, ours took a lot of falls from the bed, chair, sofa and had no problem. The voices are very clear and easy to follow and repeat for a small child. It can be connected to the computer and personalized which we have discovered after we received it - and it was a nice surprise. Boght it almost a year ago when our daughter was 1yr3mo Good value for money. Overall we are happy with the product and will recommend.

１歳１０ヶ月の息子があそんでいます。使える購入して、良かったです。小さなこも、大丈夫だったら 聞いで安心

My toddler is fasinated with it. However there is no lighting for the screen

My daughter loved it. Price is little bit high.

Personally, I quite liked this toy. I first bought it for my first born and then again as a gift. It's an easy carry along toy although you cannot use it in the night time as the screen is not back lit, but that might be better for the eyes of young ones. It an easy way of introducing alphabets and animals to a toddler where they can pretend to work on their laptops. My son has used it since he was one. Over the time, he has learnt the gaming part where you have to guess the animal as it appears in parts on the screen and press the correct alphabet, helps in developing critical thinking skills. Even my 6 month old has started showing interest in the toy. Well built, compact, light-weight and attractive toy for pretend play. There are two different volume buttons and the voices are clearly audible. Overall, a nice product.

Producto bueno. Como no se encuentra en España, hay que traerlo de EEUU y cuesta el triple que antes entre coste y porte.😬😬😬
