Can an almost 2 year old use this (ie drawing pictures, swiping at flashy things, etc) or are there only games that are good for someone a bit older?

Yeah sure of course, it's not a problem. My daughter was 1 yr and a half old when we bought her the Nabi and she was able to use to it. There's this Nabi mode and Mommy mode, you can choose which one to use. All the games are good to start with for learning. Now my daughter is 2 years old and she is still using it...the battery is good and we haven't had any problems with it so far. The games are good, really, it's good to start now, you don't need to wait. I hope i am a bit of a help :). My daughter loves her Nabi and so do i :D

The games were above my almost 2 year old. She just didn't enjoy them like the games on the iPad. Maybe she was just used to iPad ??

I wouldn't bother, the screen is very small and hard to see. No instructions on how to play games, neither I nor his parents were able to teach much about it to 3.5 yo grandson, so he quickly lost interest. Plays more with tech tablet and regular tablet games.

Hi Carol. In my opinion it is not. The graphics are very basic and there are not many games you can purchase to use with it. My experience is that my daughter loved it at 3 years old and stopped using it right about 5 or so. You can do so much more with some of the games that are offered online for free or with a tablet. Hope this helps.

I would recommend Ages 2 and above...however like all kids are they will tend to loose Interest after couple weeks...a downside as well is the fact that it uses batteries....also do not expect any well taken shot from a two year old!! most of the pictures are of his feet or the ceiling....

I bought this tablet for a two year old. She is very adept using it. Her older brother had taught her how to use a smart phone so she was already familiar with a touch screen. Her brother downloads games and I'm pretty sure it will handle movies. The thing is incredible. I'd recommend it for your two year old.

I don't think this would be good for a 7yo. We have purchased three games for ours, and my 15mo really enjoys it, but my 5yo (2nd grader) only plays with it to show her little sister how to play the games. My toddler can turn the music and drawing app on by herself. I think a Nintendo DS or Kindle Fire would be a much better purchase for a 7yo! My 5yo will stay on her Kindle Fire HD for hours if I let her!!

Yes, I believe a 2 year old can play on it. My daughter had gotten it a few months before her 3rd birthday. They can use the scribble feature and learn to take photos with the camera feature and there's all sorts of games for little ones that they can maneuver through.

My son is two and can work the touchscreen. I think more festures and gamed will be used next year. But an adult can certainly guide through like reading a story.

Probably. I gave my son his when he was 4 and it wasnt easy for him to figure it out at first. Plus I really recommend getting the 3 instead. Its wayy better than the 2. Alot easier to use.

There are many games pre-loaded on the tablet. The tablet has software compatible is adjustable to almost any age group.

My 3 year old nephew loves his - the games vary greatly in age appropriateness. My 7yr old niece still uses hers constantly. I had to get the little one a Leapster2 so they would stop fighting over it.

That's the good thing about it there are a variety of stuff u can do with the leap pad ultra. She can draw colour take pics edit then she can but music, videos and games in the app store. So there is plenty to keep her entertained.

Absolutely not! I bought it for my twins at 2yr2m and they are almost 4 now and still play with it. Definitely a good buy at that age.

No, you cant download games on it; It literally is a cheap plastic remote with a I Phone sticker on it. It does have songs and it identifies numbers and fruits. The best part of the whole phone is that it lights up really nicely. I would say ages 16months to 30months after that i can definitely see a child get bored with it. I literally bought it just to occupy my kid from destroying my phone and for the most part it does that. But i wouldn't say it is educational and has a lot of features.

Yes..my kid is a beginner..he played before with the iphone app.. There is a lot of demos and help on youtube that you can search to help him.

Hi, My daughter has the Leapster 2. It has one game installed and there is also a "paint" option, kind of like Windows "draw." She rarely played with those features, but they're not bad features. The game has dragons and you have to chase letters or something like that. If I'm not mistaken you can also download a game or two from the site. Just the same, I would definitely consider getting your niece a game to go with it -- Leapfrog.com was having a sale, maybe still is, which made many of the cartridges very affordable. My daughter loved Digging for Dinosaurs, Wall-e, the Backyardigans, and Finding Nemo in particular. She got the Disney Princess game but only played with it once. It looked like a real stinker. If cost is a consideration (as it is for me) maybe just let her parents know that you got her a Leapster 2 so they can plan on getting her a game or two. And how nice of you to get her such a lovely gift! It is a truly educational tool and was a huge hit in my house.

I bought the Mobigo 2 for my 4 year old grandson. I think a 2 year old is a little too young for it. SomereasonI bought the Mobigo 2 for my 4 year old grandson. He is able to play with it with little supervision. I think a two year old is a little too young to understand the concept of the games. I would wait until he gets a little older before buying it.
