5.0 out of 5 stars How to fix cartridge problem, January 12, 2005

Loved this LeapPad, but after a while, it only worked with the original book. Doesn't work with any cartridge!!! Then I called LeapPad, they told me it's because the cartridge is dirty. What to do is to wipe cartridge with rubbing alcohol, then while the cartridge is still wet, push it in/out to the leapPad, so this will clean the leapPad's cartridge receiver also. This works like a charm for me.

My husband and I bought this for our 2-1/2 year old for Christmas. She really loves it. She is definately at an age where she enjoys learning and is very interested in colors and shapes and showing us "what she can do". This is perfect. We often travel out of town and this is great for those long road trips. Anything to keep her content. I think it will be helpful as she learns to write and read, and it is wonderful for learning shapes and colors. I would say the downfall in this toy is that the cord for the pen is a little short (suppose that is a safety issue) and also I dont like how the cartridge sticks out of the side. I think a drop in sort of thing would have been better. The books are a little tough to get in place, but she is learning. I think she is a little young still, but will get lots of use out of it, and I think it is a good time to introduce this product to her at least. We are going to buy one for her cousin this month, so I think that shows how much we like it!!

We purchased this toy for our daughter last Christmas after she discovered her older brother's Leap Pad and enjoyed the idea of it, but spent too much time ripping out the pages of the books! I respect other reviewers who find little value in a "Jr." version of a toy, but I truly believe that the My First Leap Pad has features (board book binding, thicker pages, more basic themes) that make it an appropriate bridge toy. The list and range of titles is constantly expanding which is a boon to relatives who are constantly struggling to find gifts, but my two and a half year old still finds amusement in returning to her older books. I will admit that we have run through one of the pen units, but I have to concur with another reviewer that the Leap Pad customer service center is one of the better ones with whom I have dealt. We received a new pen in under a week. After a year, we still find that she drags this into bed with her after lights out and she falls asleep with it next to her. There are so many ways to spend lots of money on bad and useless toys, it is a pleasure to spend money on such a good one.
