Leapster L-Max Girl Handheld

I bought this one for my daughter because she has had another one for 2 years and just loves it, finally wore out the pen but the touch screen still works... a friend wants the old one for her child now. My daughter has epilepsy and is not allowed to play video games but begged and begged for something to play like all the other kids. I get to cheat a little by letting her play this system for an hour or 2 a day, I figuer that if she can LEARN something while playing these games.... it is worth it. Her neorologist is not thrilled, but has said as long as it is very limited it is ok. She may never be able to play video games, but hey... they mush your brain anyway, the systems are way to expensive and she gets to play outside alot and get fresh air!!! She has not had a seizure for over 4 years now and has been off medication for over a year. Hope this helps but please ask you doctor if you have epilepsy before using any product that could cause a seizure.

Happy mother of happy 8 year old.

I don't know where I've been but I'm just catching on to this product. Educational and fun how can you go wrong. The leapfrog site has this and the other systems for half price now and the games are discounted as well. Being on a tight budget this Christmas I wouldn't have been able to buy this and a few games at these prices. If you do a goggle search for discount codes you can get an additional 15 percent off on the leapfrog site too. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

The Leapster L-Max For Girls is an excellent education-oriented product that my granddaughters have immensely enjoyed. Thank you, Leapster.

Fantastic product, very educational and fun at the same time. Well worth the money! Can be hooked up to your tv too.

My daughter received a L-Max for her 3rd birthday with a princess game. Since then she has collected most of the games and is now 6-yrs-old. My now 2-yr-old son had adopted his sister's L-Max and we had to invest in a second one.

I know my son doesn't get the educational part too much but I feel he is on the way and as everyone know we learn by doing. He copies his sister now all the time (as much as she says she hates it she loves it).

We have at least one with us at all times and it has saved us more than once from melt downs. I recommend it to everyone. L-Max doesn't have the bit for the internet but my daughter asks a lot of questions as she plays so I am comfortable with where she is.

If you are on the cusp of making a decision you will not regret it. All my friends now have them for their kids. We thought we could share games but that doesn't work because the kids play them all the time.
