I have leapfrog for my son and i dont care for it. He rarely plays with it, however i did buy him an INTERAC TV system, its is a handheld controller with no wires to connect to the tv, it has cards that u sit in it and a dvd that goes in the dvd player, it works liek a remote control the child answers things using the shapes and pictures on teh card that is inserted in the controller. You can program it to work on 3 diff tvs so u can bring it to grandmas or use in any room of the house.
I personally like this system the best as a learning toy, my son is always asking to play with it, and he learned to count to 5 with htat game, even with all the counting i had been doing with him, he wasnt doing it on his own til after he got the game. The system runs anywhere from 30-60 depending on where u buy it..u can find it wiht 3 cards included (card and disc come together if u buy addl ones) i found mine on ebay and paid 32 plus shipping, and it had bonus disc and card with it..it was brand new, so i would check ebay as well.
