In Baby Mode, the chunky buttons on the wireless controller are perfect for little hands, and the activities introduce basic concepts such as first words, colors, shapes, and emotions.

1 out of 5 stars Don't Buy It!!!   September 22, 2008
Paul T. Johnson (Tacoma, WA US of A)
This machine has wasted around three hours of my life. It wouldn't work with our Panasonic DVD player, our XBOX 360 or even a brand new RCA DVD player we just bought from Target. It sounds like fun, but after 3 times it not working with our DVD players...my 2 year old heart is broken, don't tell your toddler that they are going to have so much fun with this, only to find out it doesn't work with most DVD players. A horrible gift for her 2nd Birthday!


1 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with my dvd   September 2, 2008
D. Drinkwater (Palm Beach Gardens, FL)
I was excited to find this product on sale because I love Leap Frog products and so does my 9 mo. old. However, I tried for hours to set this up with my DVD player. I followed all the instructions exactly and I even called customer service and they gave me other set up codes to try. I still cannot get this product to work. I'm very disappointed because we can watch the video but cannot interact with it, which is the whole point.


2 out of 5 stars Not very happy with LeapFrog...   August 12, 2008
Sandra
I got this for my 1 yr old last christmas, it did take me forever to set it up we have a TV/DVD player and I had to use the extra codes to get it to work... My son didnt seem to grasp which button to push on the controller, we have EVERY DISC, I would point to it and then he would push it... I guess maybe thats what you should do... now he is 20 months and has no intrest in it at all... the controller is very durrible as my son has tossed it around his room... I wish they had Elmo in their disc's though... I should have gotten the v-smile for baby.. It is just frustrating when you spend the time and money and it doesnt seem to get you any where but a head ache... for parents, when your child does not push the right button or push it at all the voice will keep saying "push a button" again and again... quite annoying!!


3 out of 5 stars Dissapointing   August 8, 2008
Maria S. (Glen Burnie, MD United States)
I find this thing more annoying than educational.
First, it wouldn't set up easily with the Magnavox DVD player we have. I had to look up alternate codes online (that people just happened to find).
Then, for some reason (even though we did the initial set-up correctly) every time we start it up, it plays in Spanish and we have to go through the menus to select English.
Lastly, most frustrating, is how slow it is.
My 20month old gets excited to see his game put on... and is then bored 3-4 minutes into the game (and he can pay good attention to other videos or games).
There is just too long a delay between "push a button" and the DVD then churning to the result.
Overall, the games aren't impressive and don't provide anymore learning than we give him when reading him his books.
Maybe if we had gotten it when he was 9 months it would have been more appropriate. But at this age -- even with different purchased discs -- he is just bored.
