We're thinking of getting either of these for the kids (well, more for Sabine but we want something that Anissa can also enjoy and help her little sister with). I just don't know which is better. I read through some reviews on the internet but they're really conflicting. A lot of people like VTech. Then again, there are quite a number who are more satisfied with the features of LeapFrog. And so now I'm having a difficult time deciding!
I think Sabine is definitely too young to get the Leapster L-Max, which is recommended for kids aged 4-10. But a lot of good things have been said about this toy. I personally have this thing against hand-held gadgets though. If it's small enough to take with them wherever they go, I can be assured my kids will be paying more attention to it than other things.
Or maybe the LeapFrog LittleTouch LeapPad is more for her? But this one's for ages 6 months to 3 years and she's turning 3 in less than a year. Maybe we won't get too much mileage out of it.
LeapFrog's My First LeapPad is for ages 3-5
Now on to VTech...a brand I'm more familiar with because this was already around when Anissa was Sabine's age and I actually invested in a couple of their notebooks then.
The VTech V.Smile TV Learning System is something I'm seriously considering. The console connects directly to a TV and to me that's perfect. Not hand-held! Hahaha! Accessories which are sold separately are : writing pad joystick, art studio, Smart keyboard plus all those game cartridges, of course. It sounds expensive but if it's worth it then I'm all for it!
It hactually has a pocket version...the V.Smile Pocket Learning System
But by now you know why I'm not too keen on getting this
So now, the million dollar question...
which should I get?
Help!!!
