Linsey’s post at Wise Bread is some good stuff to think about:
Tech toys are a trap. So you get a great deal on the toy. Your little one will be ecstatic, right? Wrong. Assuming
the toy comes with everything needed to get started (games or
cartridges or cords or whatever), how long will that last? The toy will need power (batteries, chargers, or plugs), and old games will need to be replaced with newer ones.
It depends, I think. My kids got leap pads a few years ago and managed to lose the cartridges and books in no time. However, my daughter keeps her Nintendo DS in pristine condition- it was me that lost her stylus, not her. I think age has some to do with it and the toy itself has the rest to do with it. Linsey makes a good point her post about the VideoNow and JuiceBox system. They just may not be fully supported in time, so it’s best to go with things that will be, even if they are more expensive. It’s better to spend a little more now in order to have something your kids will be playing with years from now.
Recently i bought Learning laptop from ToysRUs store at couponalbum.com on great discounted prices, for my kids, and they liked it very much..
