We got this for my 6 year old daughter just before she had surgery, thinking it'd be something quiet she could do during the long car rides to the hospital and back, and during recovery. It was a hit! She loves it. We've stressed that it should be kept in it's case while she's not using it as the manufacturer suggests, and she respects that. The cartridiges don't offer a big assortment or variety of things to do per cartridge, but how much would you expect to be able to do on a small screen. My daughter loved doodling on her Dad's Palm Pilot but he always worried she'd accidentally delete important files. Now they can both doodle at the same time! I researched the Pixter before we bought it, most people complained of the noise... while I agree that a headphone jack would have been nice, with me up front and her in the middle of my van I'm really oblivious to it. It's a noise you learn to contend with since it makes your child happy. The light makes a great addition for night time use.

2.0 out of 5 stars TOO HARD TO DO, April 19, 2004

This was the number one toy my 5.5 yr old daughter wanted for Easter. She loves playing with Mommy and Daddy's PDA and this was to be one of her own. The new color one might be better as the Barbie Black and White is too hard to see and not much fun to color. (Hmmm, shall this be black or...white?) It was also very difficult to figure out what the games were. I got her the Dino cartridge, which she did play with, but since the second day, it's been on the bottom of the toy box.

I bought my daughter a Pixter Plus Christmas before lasr ( not Barbie) it looks cute and I like it but it was hard for her to do? So she didn't really play with it! I bought a pixter color this birthday and she plays with it all the time. It is much easier to work with. Big price difference I know but I would hold out!!!! You really do not need any games. It is fun by itself.
