It’s engaging, educational, and very well made. The songs, lights, and interactive buttons keep little ones entertained while helping them learn letters, numbers, and simple words in a fun way. The Smart Stages feature is great because it grows with the child, making it useful for a long time. Soft, cuddly, and durable—this puppy quickly became the favorite toy. myer.com.au

My kids have had all the Leapfrog reading/learning systems from the original Read Aloud LeapPad to the Tag and LeapReader Systems and this is for sure my absolutely favorite system so far! My 6 year old is just starting to learn how to read and the LeapStart 3D really helps her get excited and eager to read. I love that the pen is attached to the system so no more lost pen that used to happen a lo k0612 · walmart.com
