what is the difference between this one and the WowWee's humanoid robot. Which one I should buy for a 6-year old boy? Thanks in advance.

I bought this one because it was a newer model and it was at a lower price. I got it for my nine year old grandson. But I am sure that his five year old brother will have fun with it when he gets a chance to play with it. They as better with remotes than I am.

My son has had both the Ultra and LeapPad 2. The Ultra is a child version smartphone without the phone capability. It has LeapSearch (Internet), calculator, calendar, to name a few, unlike the LeapPad 2. My 6 year old likes both of them but he sat on his LeapPad 2 so he got the Ultra. Depending on your budget and age of child, I would tell you the LeapPad 2 is a great start because all the Apps work on either LeapFrog product.

my 3 year old loves it, 6 year old plays with it when he's bored otherwise (such as in the car). 6 year old would prefer some of the tablet games. Especially for 3 yr old we like not worrying what he is getting into on it or what settings he might be changing. Some of it may depend if there is a game character they really like - for us it was the Handy Manny game. He really likes that it is his own "super duper computer". I like that it handles being dropped, hammered on, etc.

Jewel train, Sugar Bugs and Alphabet Stew are the titles geared toward the older children. There are 2 new Discovery videos geared toward the 5-9 age group. Other than that, the selection may be limited and your son may find it interesting a few days and they he may quickly outgrow the product. I hope that Leapfrog expands their library toward the 7-10 age range. There are maybe 3 to 4 cartridge games also for the 5-9 age range like X-Man and NFL Rush Zone. If I was in yours shoes, I would perhaps consider buying a Nintendo DS as they also have good educational titles and also play some of the leisure games with the same device. Our 6 year old is getting the LeapPad as well as the Nintendo DS Lite (same price now). Hope this is helpful.

Hi I actually have both systems for my 5 yr old. It is tough to say which one is better they are both very similar I guess it most comes down to what do you want your kids to do or better yet what do they like to do? The Digital Arts and Crafts is just that art & craft with their favorite characters the Computer Cool School has some art but also has educational games. My son plays with both and likes both. The only bad thing is that I haven't seen any new software for the Digital Arts & Crafts Studio I hope Fisher-Price makes some more. I hope I helped.

This is probably the best one you can get for a 7 yr old. When he gets a little older you may want to expand to something a little better such as the Japanese ones though. I am 13 and bought this and wasn't completely satisfied but my 8 yr old brother was

I think they both use the same engineering. I think the PetBot name is a marketing tool to reach a particular segment of the buying public. To me the PetBot appears slightly smaller than my three year old SpotBot. There really are no discernable differences.

I would recommend the Leapster 2. I have 4 girls whose ages are 3, 4, 6 and 8. They all love the leapster 2. There are many different games at various levels that keeps them all interested. We have also never had a problem online or with any of the games. The other thing that I like is that my 3 year old has seriously dropped the toy several times and it keeps working perfectly.

I brought mine for my 3 yr old last year. Her new sister, now 18 months, loves to use the coloring action on the Leapster. She drags it around my tile kitchen and bathroom, turns it off and on constantly, and preety much tries to destoy it on her own. That thing takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I am actually trying to find a used one for the little one.

I'd say buy Bionicle or any Lego Tecnic set. I personally am a fan of bionicle, but that's just me.

I agree that the InnoTab is going to be a little too easy for her. My son is six and it's not as fun/challenging for him. My four year old loves it. The games for this machine top out at age 8, and especially if she's bright I think she'd be easily bored by the games you can buy for this. Leap Pad2 I think is a little more appropriate for that age, but also she's going to top out pretty quickly. DS is probably a good option for her, though the games are not always geared towards learning if that is a concern. Good luck!

I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question. However, I must admit that I'm not sure I would buy this toy for my 4 year old son again. It's difficult for it to transform. My husband has to do it ever time. And it doesn't really move on it's own. Just says things every now and then. And they are somewhat difficult to turn off. If you have any of the other Switch N Go Dinos - in comparison, this one fails. It's much more flimsy, etc. I know it's a spendy purchase. My son wanted Jagger too, but I convinced him to go a different route. He just doesn't play with it all that often. I will have to ask my husband regarding the "facts" question.

It is a pretty good project. The robotic arm is a little harder to build. Both are good for kids 12-15 with no previous building experience.

Yes the individual robots do transform into robots. I had this one as a child and there almost Identical.

My daughter got her DS when she was barely 6. Her barely 3 year old brother used many of the games, some of them just didn't interest him or were too hard to play. I am buying him a Leapster 2 for his 4th birthday coming up. We had the original leapster we bought my daughter when she was tiny and it has since broke. While some DS games are fine for the little ones, I think the Leapster is a better choice for them at this age. And, like someone else said, in a few years there will be a new system out the older kids will want anyway.

I do not know the details because I have not played with both and we do not stock both. You could look call Toysmith, they could perhaps tell you. These are recommended 3 and up so I do not know which would be easier for a one year old.

You might check your local game stop and look at a refurbished unit. The last time I was in there they had some units in there for 79.99. I bought a ds lite for my son when he was 6 and he is still using at 8 we just got a nerf case to increase the durablity for it. My niece got hers at 7 and is still using it and she will be 12 christmas eve. It is definatley a investment but she will not grow out of this toy for some time to come. There are very few toys that I buy for the kids that I can say they're still use on a weekly basis 5 years later, but this is one of them.
