    Hi. My boys are turning three in June and I'd like to get them a handheld computer or laptop SOMETHING to replace (as best possible LOL) my IPHONE which they fight over daily :catfight:
    Does anyone have any good ideas or recommendations...there are so many options and I have no idea between the mobigo and leapfrog stuff THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
    My one DS is convinced he's getting his own iphone (as if). I told I got mine when I was thirty so he has a ways to go :rotflmbo:

    We got our boys the Leapster Explorers for our trip to Italy. They are 3.5 and it says for ages 4-8. Some things are a bit more difficult for them, but they figured out a lot of it on their own. That's all we have and it's all they know, so I am not much help! We don't have them using them often now, but they are nice for 30 minutes of quiet!

    We have the Leapsters too. My two figured them out within 20 minutes, how to turn them on, turn them off, change the user, start a game. We prefer the games that are available for download better than the cartridge games.

    We also have the Leapster Explorers. Both kids love them & use them fairly often (but aren't obsessed with them, which is great) and I love that the games are educational.

    At the age your little ones are (even mine really), I'm not sure what will really be age appropriate. I'm planning on getting leapster explorers (or mobigo... still haven't decided) but not for another year.

    Leapster explorers are great. when you upgrade your iPhone pop the sim card out and it works like an itouch. That's what we did with our old ones

    Leapster here too! Some of the games were too hard when the kids were 3, but now that my dd is 4.5 she can play almost anything.

    We got the kids Leapster Explorers for their 4th birthday and they have been a huge hit. Totally worth it.

    I was going to get the girls the Leapster Explorer for their 4th birthday until I read the reviews on Amazon. I went with the Mobigo Touch instead, in fact I just ordered them the other day. The reviews were way better. I haven't given it to them yet so I can't really tell you much about it.
