5 Stars Fun game and full of learning
My son has had this game for a year now and it is by far his favorite Leapster game. I enjoy playing it too. It has multiple levels, several different tracks and tons of learning packed in. You have so much fun playing you don’t realize you are being educated at the same time!

5 Stars Excitement
My 4 year old nephew was extremely excited about this product and bengan playing with it right away. I like this product line and it keeps him entertained during road trips etc. Highly recommended.

5 Stars Educational and fun
This cartridge kept my children’s interest for quite a while. The funny thing is I never knew it included spelling games because they never played them. Guess they weren’t interested in that part.

The games involve driving a car around — the child gets to pick the course. Each course has different skills it works on. The setup is basically the same. The car must avoid road hazards while answering questions (by bumping the car with the correct answer, driving over the car with the answer or taking the turn in the road with the correct answer) to continue driving. The questions include things like filling in the missing number 1 _ 3 4 or filling in the missing letter to the word or which letter is the lower case “b” or answering which number is greater or less than another number.

There are two levels to choose from, so it can be played by kids from preschool through kindergarten. This game is a little too easy past kindergarten age but my son still enjoyed it in first grade.

5 Stars Great educational game for boys and girls
I bought this game for my daughter’s 5th birthday. She loves the movie Cars and now she loves the game too. The characters and voices are just like the ones in the movie, which makes it entertaining as well as educational. She loves the racing games on it and it’s so great that she is actually learning something while she’s playing. I also have a 3-year-old daughter who likes to play around with this game on the Leapster too. She doesn’t really know how to play the games yet, but she still enjoys the characters and is quite entertained by it as well. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone! If they love the movie, they will love this game!!

5 Stars Leapfrog Leapster Game Cars
I purchased the Cars Leapster Game for my 6-8 year old children as a gift. I now see that I should have purchased 2 of them becasue it has become their favorite out of all the games they already have. They love the graphics and the sounds.

4 Stars Great for Traveling
This is a great game for the car. The kids were able to play with it by themselves and together. It’s also great for teaching colors, etc. It kept them occupied for quit a while, which is sometimes a challenge on long road trips.

5 Stars Great for travel
This was a great game for the airplane. The kids (4 and 6) had fun with it and the pieces are all attached so they can’t be dropped or lost.

5 Stars Great design plus here’s an idea for more cards
I have a 3yr old and a 1yr old so this game is fun for both of them. My 3yr old plays the memory game. My 1yr old likes to open and close the doors. I anticipate that my 3yr old will evenually memorize the cards but I’m pretty sure I could create my own new cards.

1) Trace a game card and cut out new card

2) Place blank card into wooden slot and then draw all the circles onto the card

3) Remove the card then place pairs of stickers over the circles

Voila! A new game card.

5 Stars Great for home or travel
My daughter is 4 years old and has mastered this game superbly. She has learned and memorized every single card within a week. What Melissa & Doug need to do is to add more inserts for purchase. The flipping mechanism works great. I love this product. Wish I could buy more inserts.

5 Stars Fun in the car
We took this on vacation and my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter really enjoyed it. It has several cards, so you can change the game each time you play. Very durable.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Great for Road Trips!
We got this b/c our baby loves his big crib mobile, and we were taking a long car trip. I love that it is battery powered and that you can play it with or without music. He really loves it! My only complaint is that it hangs pretty low, but he doesn’t seem to mind. It was an excellent buy.

5 Stars My son hated his carseat…
When my son was two months old, he all of a sudden HATED being in the infant carseat. So driving in the car was very stressful because of his desperate cries. This mobile was a lifesaver for me! Once we started using it he didn’t cry anymore, so we swear it was because of the mobile. Since we drive a SUV, we were able to clip it to the ceiling of where the middle seat belt extends from. For us, clipping it on the infant carrier’s handlebar was too close to the baby’s face.

I definitely recommend it to any parents that faces the same situation we did.

5 Stars Thank goodness for this mobile!
We spend a lot of time in the car and this mobile has helped my 4 month old daughter tremendously. She used to just scream and cry when she was in her carseat, but now she loves to watch her bugs go around and around. You can also flip the bugs over and change the view for baby, there are pictures on the opposite sides of the “arms”. The music is quiet and soothing and doesn’t get too repetitive. This is one of the best things I have bought for her and I would recommend it to anyone.

5 Stars Great portable baby mobile – great for playards
It is exactly what I was looking for. Since playards have this colorless static mobiles, I wanted a light mobile to replace it, and the Tiny Love Clip and Go worked GREAT!… my daughter loves it since day 1, it plays continuous music, and is cute as well.

3 Stars Not good
Not happy with this product. I bought it hoping to use it on a play pen or portable crib. The clip that attaches it makes it swing into the edge of either of those and keeps it from spinning. When I used it on my daughter’s carseat, as suggested, it swung into her face. I also don’t like that it doesn’t ever shut off (most mobiles do shut off after 10-15 minutes).

That being said, I found that if you remove the clip by pulling the velcro, I was able to use the velcro to attache it to a crib. And the music is nice, so it’s not a total loss.

1 Star The UK Travel Scrabble is much better.
Spending time in Spring last year playing travel scrabble on the road with friends renewed my love of the game and they bought me a set for at home when they left.

Heading out on travels in the last few weeks I decided I needed my own travel version and found this folio edition.

On the positive side it is scrabble.

On the negative side

* Tiles are badly printed – the printing is not centered

* Tiles pop out of the board when other tiles are put in alongside them. Sometimes this means you have to put letters in at right angles to stop them popping out.

* The letters do not stay in the board well, I often find games that need to be scrapped as enough letters have fallen out of place to make the game impossible to fix.

* Scoring is pen and paper based. Fine until you run out of pen or paper.

Compare this to the UK version I played on my travels in the Spring.

* The letters stayed firmly in place – whatever we were doing – we never scrapped a game as letters fell out.

* Scoring is by slides on the sides of the board for 1/10/100 points, you don’t need to remember or find a pen and paper.

Why these simple things cannot be available on the US version I do not know.

My US version is being returned and family in the UK are sending me the UK version. It is more expensive due to the exchange rate but I know I will be less frustrated with it. Check it out on Amazon.co.uk

4 Stars Triple bonus score!
Love it love it love it! Played in the park and it everything worked as planned.

A few suggestions: Bring a pencil sharpener or a pen. If one was included it would have been perfect.

5 Stars parentofteen
I loved the scrabble game as my teen daughter likes to play and wanted to be able to pack something in her backpack. You can stop the game and take it anywhere continuing to play at another time. This is a quality game and easy to use and store.

4 Stars this is a great version of Scabble
This is a very nice version of Scrabble. It’s perfect for a long (or short) airplane ride. It’s small enough to fit in a carry-on bag and the size if just right to put on your tray. If you have to put it away, you can do so in the middle of a game.

The small size is great, but also a problem in that the pieces are easy to lose. With a little care though, you should be able to use this game for many years to come. This is one of my favorite Scrabble sets since I can take it with me everywhere.

5 Stars Scrabble – travel version
This scrabble version is a very clever travel version. You can play the game in short sessions and it is designed to hold everything in place when you close it. When you open it back up for more play, everything piece is where you left it including your seven tiles on your closeable tile keeper. Wonderful product.
