Title: Ignore the hype. This isn't a great toy.
Review: If you already have a Pixter or a LeapPad, this toy won't win your child's preference. If you don't have a Pixter or LeapPad, get one of those instead.To begin with, the thing is ergonomically ridiculous. This toy stands on the floor and has four buttons on the front that your child is supposed to push to make things happen based on what's on the screen. The screen is a cheap, dim LCD that's hard to read unless your child lays tummy down. In which case pushing the buttons is awkward and tends to knock the toy over (or at least make it slide backward). That gets tiring, so they won't play long.Our kids quickly decided that the best fun they could have was randomly pushing the buttons. For a while. Pixter and LeapPad, meanwhile, are still being used....
