Give your child unrestrained access to an iPad or Android tablet (as many parents do) and you can’t guarantee that little Jonny or Jane won’t browse into the web’s rough stuff.

You buy a LeapPad not only to entertain your child but principally to help their education from reading and writing to maths and logic puzzles. They are not iPads that you can use for email and play dumb-but-fun arcade games on. The LeapPads, and compatible software, are tailor made for learning while having fun. LeapPads are also more robust than fragile adult tablets.
Any older than 7 and we think children would prefer a more mature tablet, such as Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD, which has decent parental controls such as screen-time limits. We think 3-7 is a more realistic age range, although our 8-year-old tester still enjoyed using them.

The advantage of Leapfrog software is that, while not as cheap as normal mobile apps, it has been built by educational PhDs with both fun and learning in mind. While the hardware is cheaper than normal tablets note that the software can be more expensive. We think their upper-age range is six or seven rather than Leapfrog’s claimed nine, but our eight-year-old tester still enjoyed her time with both. The larger, 7-inch, Ultra XDi has twice the storage as the 5-inch LeapPad 3 but younger children may prefer the 3’s smaller size and weight.
The specially built-for-kids LeapPad3 and LeapPad Ultra XDi are similar in specs and functionality.
