The Little Leaps Grow-with-Me Learning System transforms as your child learns and grows—inspiring learning in children 9 through 36 months! The 2-mode system introduces children to fun, on-screen learning experiences that change with every touch.

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. When your toddler is ready, you simply flip over the top of the activity controller to reveal a directional controller, perfect for toddlers. In Toddler Mode, children take charge of the action and explore more advanced learning concepts, such as letters, numbers, counting and more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Set up was easy..., October 11, 2006

There are other reviews on here that complain of lengthy set-ups. It took me 3 minutes tops. I was even worried about it because I don't have a normal DVD player, we have a Sony Playstation 2. It works great! My son got this for his 1st birthday (yesterday) and I set it up today. I don't think he's really ready for the interaction yet. I was a little disappointed that there are only sample games on these disks- you have to go out and buy the games seperately. A bummer, since the system was $40. But overall, it is good so far. I'll update when my son is able to use the system better. Don't be scared off by the reviews.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for Baby, Bad for Toddler, November 18, 2006

This review is from: Little Leaps Grow-with-Me Learning System (Toy)

I have a 9 month old and a 2.5 year old and since this toy claims to be for ages 9 months - 3 years, I figured it would be perfect for both of them. It can be played in baby mode with some simple big buttons for babies or in toddler mode with a joy stick. You can purchase games for either mode.

Our baby has been playing with it in baby mode and there are several nice games available for that.

The toddler mode is disappointing though. First of all, there's only 1 game available for toddler mode. Second, the joy stick is a bit hard to use. Even I sometimes have a hard time getting it to select something. There's a bit of a delay between selecting something and your selection showing up on the tv, so you have to have the patience to move the joy stick and wait for a bit. That's tough for a toddler to do. The toddler game that we have is also very simplistic. We have computer games for him that are more interactive than that. If you have a computer, I'd recommend just getting some toddler computer games instead.

On the plus side, set-up was very easy for us and we don't have a major brand name dvd player.

5.0 out of 5 stars My twins love it!, October 11, 2006

We got it as an early b-day present. It took me less than 5 minutes to set up(and I have a nontradional dvd player-its built into my tv). The girls love it both can easily operate it(they are 11 months old). Jazzy has started saying duck because of it. Hopefully more words will follow. I do suggest buying one of the other disc when you buy the system(we got Say it Baby and love it). I am suggesting it to all of my friends for Christmas and will most likely buy more discs soon!
