LeapFrog Learning Toys Review

The Leapfrog Leapster 2 is a couple of years old now but still one of the most popular educational toys for kids. The system is so popular that it is has been in Amazon.com’s bestseller list since it was released in June 2008. This coming Christmas many more parents of young children just starting pre-school or in their early years of elementary school will be attracted to the Leapster system because of Leapfrog’s great reputation for educational toys.

The Leapster comes almost-ready to play out of the box.  With the simple addition of 4 AA batteries, kids can play the games already included on the system, which could keep them occupied for hours. The Leapster 2 and its original incarnation, the first generation Leapster console, both play games for the Leapster 1 and 2. This forwards/backwards compatibility is a blessing for owners of the old system and expands the range of game choices for owners of the new system.

Apart from additional games available for the Leapster 2 there are a number of accessories that will help parents and kids get the most out of the system. The Leapster Recharging System is probably the most essential extra accessory to the Leapster 2 system.

Like most handheld games this portable console can go through batteries like a proverbial kid in a candy store. Unless you are using recyclable batteries, this consumption can soon start to strain on your wallet, the environment and your unbridled glee at your child wanting to use the Leapster night and day.

Enter the Leapster Recharging System. Officially designed by Leapfrog for the Leapster 2 system, the Leapster Recharging System allows the console to be played with for at least 6 hours before requiring a recharge. Plugging into the mains electricity it recharges within 4 hours so if the process is started when your little one goes to sleep the system will be fully charged by morning.

If you purchase the Leapster 2 this Christmas for your child, consider investing in the Leapster Recharging System at the same time. It will save a lot of heartache for both you and your child in the long run.
