Amazon.com Product Description
The LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer introduces tots to the wonders of the PC and helps them learn basic computer skills. Ideal for ages three through six, this interactive toy plugs right into the television and teaches youngsters how to use a mouse and keyboard. A Child-Friendly Design
The ClickStart features a child-friendly wireless keyboard, plug and play console, and a child-sized mouse with a right- or-left-handed adjustable mouse pad. It transforms the TV into a PC, which allows kids to work on a big screen and the whole family to join in on the fun. The miniature mouse is perfectly formed for little fingers to point and click. Large, colored buttons make it easy for kids to learn basic keystrokes, and four friendly games create a safe, age-appropriate environment to navigate. ClickStart is built to withstand rough toddler handling, a plus for parents who want to spare their high-end desktops from child's play. And the wireless keyboard is light and convenient to transport from place to place, so kids can bring the fun with them wherever they go.

Your child can click any of the icons on the desktop to play a game and learn. | Encourages Age-Appropriate Learning
It is never too early to teach children the correct way to use a computer. The ClickStart ensures that a child's first computing experience is age appropriate and pleasant, with engaging games that not only enhance basic computer skills, but prepare children for pre-school and kindergarten. This educational tool has four games that teach phonics, letters, animal facts, and counting, while sharpening a child's screen navigation skills. Friendly puppy Scout guides kids through keyboard functions and allows them to work at their own pace. Techno tots can click on a faux in-box to receive their first e-mail; it even has sound for nonreaders. Should the youngster ever become stumped, a hint button gives them a clue. Additional ClickStart software packages, sold separately, feature well-known characters such as Thomas the Tank Engine, Dora the Explorer, and Nemo. What's in the Box

 Not that impressive November 14, 2008
Jamie Meisinger (St. John, MO United States)
My son got this as a Christmas gift when he was three and a half years of age. The games were too easy to master and there are not enough of them. The games that can be purchased to go with it do not increase in difficulty. I would not recommend this for any preschooler. This will not keep their attention for very long and the games are expensive for the length of time they would be able to use them. I returned mine back to Amazon. I hope you all have better luck with yours then we did.
 Great educational/fun toy November 10, 2008
M. Roehrig
We were amazed at how fast our 4 yr old grasped mouse concepts! This is an excellant start for her future "keyboarding".
Happy with Purchase November 8, 2008

Bought this unit specifically due to reviews on Amazon and was not disappointed. Easy to set up (I highly recommend the AC adapter for the base unit). The only difficulty we found was that game cartridges require a bit more force to seat completely down into the base unit than you would think.
Nice that the keyboard has a mount for both left and right handed kids.
My son is 4 and still finds the Level 2 setting fun to play. We bought Dora (Good) and Thomas (fair). Will probably buy more cartridges.
Happy and would buy again!
 Great concept, poor execution November 3, 2008
Olga Lukovsky (New York, NY)
The educational value of this toy is great for a toddler. However, the engineering execution is very poor. It only connects with one composite video cable. The picture on the larger LCDs is horrendous.
Moreover, unless you have receiver pointing directly at the keyboard, the mouse will loose connectivity, as the low-frequency sensors loose conectivity if the keyboard is below or above the main unit, making it almost impossible to use if the unit sits on the shelf below/above where your child is sitting...
I mean in the age of the HDTV, how can Leapfrog provde a single composite connection to HDTV, where a child needs to struggle to make out the picture!?!?!? As an engineer, i have to say SHAME for releasing low-aplified product with sub-par video. Otherwise, the company makes the best, educational products, bar none...
Well designed toy October 3, 2008
gadget lover (CA USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I must say that the toy is designed very well with tiny users in mind. The keyboard and mouse are very functional. Wireless design is really a plus, no messy cable lying on the floor. The whole thing is light enough. The included games are all right, they can keep my 3 yr old interested for about 15 minutes.
The mouse cable could be improved so that the mouse would be more stable on the pad with the cable side up. It often turns around causing problem for not-so-experienced users. The real issue is the availability of games. Right now there is choice but not a lot. I hope Leapfrog opens up game development so that independent parties can develop educational and fun games.
