My 8 year old loves this. We put it under the tree for her and it was the highlight of her Christmas. She plays on it regularly, enjoying it thoroughly.

Heck, even the adults have had fun brushing up on their geography and anatomy with it. It's a real winner.

The 2 complaints: (1) There need to be more books for kids in the 2nd-4th grade range; (2) remember that you'll need to drop more money for new books to keep this product relevant for your childs age.

If your child is between 1st and 3rd grade, likes electronic toys, and can play alone, this is a great purchase. If your child is younger, consider one of the other LeapPads. If your child is older, consider the iQuest (see my review there).

I just got a Quantum Pad for Halloween and can't go anywhere without it! The day I got it I went to my friend's house and on the way over she, her little brother and I couldn't put it down! Her brother is in 3rd grade and we are in 6th. I know that it is recommended for grades 3-5 but there are some things in the books that I don't even know! I already finished reading The Wizard of Oz in 2 days with my system and in the sampler I love the presidents and Europe sections. This is a great buy for any child!

I bought the Quantum Pad rather than the LeapPad as the colors seem less childish. I usually don't buy "fad" toys, but this was an great investment in my kids' education. Everyone from the 14-year-old down to the 3-year-old love to play with this.

This can and does go anywhere, as opposed to our personal computer. We've taken this to piano practice, in the doctor's waiting room, and on car trips. A pair of earphones is essential for quiet play - the sounds drive my husband up the wall! ....
