The LeapPad chewed through 4 AA batteries at an astonishing rate, but there have apparently been improvements in the LeapPad2 in terms of battery consumption. I've got a ton of Enerloop rechargeables, so this was never an issue for me, but if you don't want to purchase rechargeables and also don't want to spend a fortune on alkaline batteries, this is definitely the way to go. The new version offers a rechargeable battery pack for purchase. (LeapFrog gets 5,000 GeekDad Points for that bit of kindness!)Ģ. All that stopped when I pulled out the Leapster GS and put the box in his lap. I handed the box to my 2 year old – I thought he was going to gnaw through the box once he realized what was inside – and my 5 year old began to fuss. I saw a bit of jealousy on the oldest's face just recently as I pulled the LeapPad2 out of a box that the folks over at LeapFrog sent over for testing. Still, he's got quite a few favorite games on the LeapPad, including a Scooby Doo game that teaches spelling at a speed and level that he enjoys and matches the words that he's learning in school. I still have to occasionally put on my referee hat when the two boys both want to play with the LeapPad (and this is typically only when one of them picks up the tablet in front of the other), but the squabbles really slowed down once my 5-year-old gained proficiency with the more advanced Nabi tablet. I've lost one of the back panels that covers two of the four batteries, but despite numerous drops, spills, and bumps (against sides of tables, cars, and heads), that little tablet has held up nicely. I'm happy to report that now, a year later, that LeapPad is still going strong and in the hands of my 2-year-old. Support? Yes, it can.Last year I wrote about my (then) 4-year-old son's experiences with LeapFrog's take on the tablet – the LeapPad.
