This looks like the perfect device so my baby can Face Chat with her grand parents. Holding the ipad over her head for 10 minutes it very exhausting?

Yes, and if you record the message from your grandparents you can replay it over and over, keeping baby entertained for hours with minimal fuss.

I use it for exactly that with my 2 month old. There are two minor issues: the holder doesn't swivel so you have to put the baby on the side of the seat rather than right in the middle or else the grandparents will only see half the baby's face. And the case can muffle the sound of the iPad so it's somewhat quiet even at full volume. But still very usable.

I think it is a great idea! I have a special needs son and it is amazing so I do not have to hold it as well

Think of the calories you'll burn holding that baby on your lap and holding the iPad so you all can see each other while face timing. I saw a picture of my cousin holding his baby, feeding her a bottle, and texting at the same time. People can multitask. So wrangle that baby and iPad at the same time, the older the baby gets the bigger the workout.

No, not at all. I got a bad case of tablet envy after seeing my brother's iPad. I'm no Apple fan, so after reading reviews, I ordered this from Santa for Xmas 2012. I wanted to read news and play really mindless games. It is sooooooooooo slow. I can't stand to load pages. I really really just want to browse, read, shop, surf. It's unbearably slow. I gave up and use my nearly 6 year old laptop.

Slow, get a tablet instead, neither my wife or I use them anymore. Both use in love with the speed and capabilities of our iPads.

No. Nice toy for grandkids. Syncs with IPhone music, but would not get another expensive toy&#128530;.

My oldest likes to play on my youngest's LeapPad (she's 11), but she finds the games a bit slow, and knows all the "educational" things in the games...for an 8y/o it would depend on if he's ever had any other gaming system, but probably would get bored with it sooner then you'd want.

It somewhat depends on the apps that you download to the device, however, I have a 5 year old that uses it a lot and a 7 year old that uses it some but it isn't as exciting as "cellphone games", for him. But a lot of that depends on what you put on it.

There are a couple buttons you have to press initially to turn on the units and synch them. After that, you both just talk, just like you were on cell phones. The unit is lightweight, fits over your ears, and adjusts, so it should work fine for a 10-12 yr old child or an adult. We love ours!

We have an iPad and it is a wonderful learning tool. However for potty training, puleeeze. We used sticker and incentives and that seemed to work just find. One day it will end up in a landfill with all the other useless crap.

HiWell this device is working good and worth the money. However, my father has problem with the size of that and the headphone. He is ashamed of the big size of the device (of course from his point of view) that has to be attached to him as well as the big headphone. The device microphone should not be covered by the clothes and has to be free to catch the sound. I think if your parents don't mind having this attached to them, then it will be a good deal. It is catch the sound properly and work better than the other headset that we had tried before. It is worth the try. Let me know if you have other concernD HiWell this device is working good and worth the money. However, my father has problem with the size of that and the headphone.

Maybe you got too many apps open Boo. My 4G is pretty quick. Not my iPad quick, but fast enough. That said, I only use it for playing music off a dock these days. Even if I trade it in, it's still going to cost me $170. Maybe for people who actually play lots of games it's worth upgrading. Looks like music and movie based users won't find it worthwhile.

I can say it is terrible with my Ipad. I drive a truck so there is some vibration but it will not make a 30 minute trip without having to adjust it. I'd try something else. Hope this helps.

Sorry to be first getting back to you now. I recently had a baby (hence the double stroller) and am first really emerging from the fog.My 2 and half year old is about 34-35 lbs and he loves the stroller. I know what other people have said about it being too small but my son loves it. He thinks it looks like a spaceship "pod" and likes for us to "blast-off!" together.My only complaint with the stoller so far is that it hard to hear my older son who sits in the front as we are strolling. He feels "far away". It is also difficult to get in and out of elevators and certain doors. We live in the city so this might be a problem specific to urbanites like myself.Hope this is helpful, if not too late! Sorry to be first getting back to you now.

Alexander,I have used it a lot and it has worked fine. However, it is a bit cumbersome at times and takes time to make sure the IPad is sitting in it correctly.Why is your challenge?

This model takes a lot of patience and time. I don't think the age is too young. All kids are different. The instructions get a little "fuzzy" at times, but a little common sense prevails. Good luck and ENJOY.

I would say there has to be better tablets out there. In my case, I returned this tablet because my daughter found it to be so difficult to use due to basic response issues with both the hardware and software. I purchased an iPad for her instead and it has been smooth sailing ever since.

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 ??
