VTech Mobigo Reviews From Amazon

Great toy!, July 1, 2010

By Heather

I bought two Mobigos, one for my 3 year old son and one for my 5 year old son. The included cartridge contains 6 generic games, each of which has an easy level and a difficult level. I like the color touch screen, it is much easier for my kids to use than the attached stylus on their original Leapsters. The Mobigo has a slide out Qwerty keyboard that allows the kids to type their name the first time they start it up, and is used in playing some of the educational games. This really feels like a sophisticated modern device, and teaches them basic technology skills that they will later apply to other things. The graphics are fun, colorful, and cartoonish.

These games are a big success! So far we're still playing with the original cartridges, I did buy two additional cartridges but they have not felt the need to try them yet. The games are fun and holding their attention for hours. My 3 1/2 year old needs help sliding the keyboard out, and sometimes asks for help with the game, but is having fun and not frustrated. My 5 year old who just finished Kindergarten is equally fascinated with the game, although he is easily able to do everything himself and was even able to put in the 4 AA batteries (not included) and replace the battery covers. You can turn off the background music if it gets annoying. My 5 year old is helping his brother when he gets stuck, which is nice since we are still actively working on sharing and taking turns every day! I like that the Mobigo is portable and they each have their own. The Mobigo comes with a USB cable to download games from the Vtech site(not yet available) and their are jacks for an AC adaptor and headphones (not included). I do wish there were more game selections and that the device was rechargeable; I should buy rechargeable batteries. I'm not sure how educational it will turn out to be, but I love that they will become better acquainted with a touch screen and a Qwerty keyboard.

 
 Great product for 5 year olds, August 17, 2010

This is a great educational toy for my five year old twin boys! I get this out when we all need a break from each other. The only regret I have is getting one of these. I'm saving up to buy another MobiGo so my boys don't have to fight over it!


Great alternative to my son trying to use my iPod touch!, July 12, 2010

By  On line shopper "S.W." (Texas)

My eldest is 2 years 8 months old and keeps trying to play with my iPod touch. He knows how to slide his fingers on the touch screen to make the icons move, and I was very worried he was going to break it. So, I was looking for a touch screen video game for him when I ran across the MobiGo. I was very impressed with all the MobiGo came with, directional pad, QWERTY keyboard, touch screen...so I bought it and hoped it wasn't too advanced for my son, as the youngest games are for age 3. My son LOVES this video game. He currently has the game that came with the MobiGo, as well as the Adventures in Dillydale (sp?) one. He has a great time touching the screen to play the games, and has gotten quite good at a few of them. The MobiGo seems pretty sturdy, and has survived being dropped on the floor a few times. Everything is still working well, we have had it now for about a month, and it gets played a little bit every day. I would highly recommend this system for anyone looking for a handheld video game for a toddler.

 
Fantastic fun and educational value, August 26, 2010

By Jenna Glatzer "www.jennaglatzer.com"

Just in time for a car trip, this wonderful toy appeared on our doorstep. It's so well made and well thought out for the preschool/kindergarten crowd of today. Nice graphics light up the screen, and there are plenty of games on the included cartridge (though my little one will love the Toy Story games when I wind up buying that one for her).

Cons: A little difficult for little hands to pop up the screen, and even I could not reliably trace the lines and shapes with my finger on the touch screen (you really need to be exact with it).

But those are minor points in light of the versatility of this device. It teaches so many concepts and skills, from matching and shapes to manual dexterity and concepts like left and right. A huge hit with both my preschooler and me.
