Review: Mom approved, child loves - Just got this hooked up last night. I got it as a gift for my son for his 4th birthday. We have a wii but I wanted something he could play easily. We got the Paw Patrol game in addition to the game that comes automatically in the game system. It's easy to set up with your tv, even I could do it. It's a smaller system which is nice because it doesn't take up to much room. The remotes are great for little hands & I like that they are easy to transform from the stick for pointing to the control for two handed use. I bought the extra remote which was affordable unlike other gaming systems. We're still having some issues with using the feature in which your child is portrayed in the game. As many reviews say, you have to get the right lighting. But it's something I'll play with & I'm sure I'll get it figured out. My son's loving the game despite this. The only reason I don't have 5 starts off the bat is the lighting trick. Pros: easy set up, small unit, great controls made with little hands in mind, affordable games (give plus) & accessories, easy to understand instructions during games, my son is able to understand what he needs to do. I'm happy with this purchase & will be recommending it to others!

Works great thank you

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for little hands
*by S***. on June 14, 2015*

We purchased an additional controller for our Leap TV console. There aren't very many games that allow for two players at the same time. We use ours primarily for the Leapfrog Go Cart game. The size of the controller works well for little hands. It also contains a wrist strap to help reduce your risk of having the remote accidentally flung across the room. It is very easy for my 4 and 5 year old to transform the controller on their own. Younger children may need a little extra assistance. So far, the battery life had been very good. This has been a good addition to our LeapFrog collection, and as a mom I'm glad that I don't have to listen to my guys arguing over who gets a remote.
