Anyone bought any of these devices?  Looking to get one for a 3 year old, but not sure what the big differences are between the two.

I'd also have an interest in the topic. 4 year old was very interested in these in Smyths when we took him on a scouting mission.

And a green sword that he hasn't stopped talking about since - in fact it was a Star wars lightsabre that cost almost 50 notes and would be smashed in about 50 seconds against some wall  :D

Had serious hassle finding the Leappad - gave up and bought the Leapfrog Explorer instead

Got an email yesterday to say that the Leappad was back in so I bought it also.  From reading up on it, I think the Leappad is best of the lot - though everyone will have their own ideas.  Will left you know in the New Year as to how the LeapPad gets on

Took a read at that this morning and they seem much the same really, with big differences being the camera (LeapPad) and you can buy an AC Adaptor for one of them (Innotab) too instead of relying on batteries.

Santas bringing the wee girl a leappad this year.  She already had the leapster.  Great selection of games and very educational.

Getting the wee girl a Leappad, you could be doing well getting your hands on either of them. Read yesterday people were selling the Argos reservation number on EBay for £35.

Beyond the pale.

Both would do the job well, only thing I would say is that unless they are closer to 4 than 3 it might be a bit forward for them.

They seem to be in short supply alright - Argos not have them it seems anyway. Sent the woman off to hunt one down round the local larger townstores - Smyths, etc
