Editorial Review

LeapFrog is well known for their interactive learning toys and now they've paired with Disney for a princesses' tour of language and math. Cinderella and Belle will help guide your child through various learning activities, such as: letter hunt, spelling games, addition and subtraction games, and number find. Both Belle and Cinderella tell jokes, sing songs, and are generally encouraging with sweet and cheerful voices. If your child decides to stop playing and doesn't turn the laptop off, the princesses ask, "Would you like to play some more?" and if there is no answer, the computer shuts itself off. An LCD screen displays letters, numbers, and other pictures during all the activities. Moms and dads will be glad to note that there are two volumes and virtually no set-up. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (included). --Megan Sullivan ... Read more

Best toy in the house
My 2 1/2 year old received this toy as a gift. She ABSOLUTELY loves her "puter". I fill my house with fun and educational toys and this one is hands down the best. She has been playing with it for a few weeks now and can sing her ABC's from A-K. All her friends want to play with it as well. I only wish they had a "boy" version so my son could have one of his own.

Another good one from LeapFrog
My mother and I were having a garage sale and I very much wanted to clean out and get rid of some toys. After explaining the concept to my daughter that if she sold some toys, she could buy some new ones. Well with her money, she picked this out of everything in the huge toy store. She loves it, she takes it in the car on trips, plays with it at the kitchen table while I am cooking. It's great, educational and something to grow with!

A fun "umputer".
I love it and I am 34yrs old.
My 4yr old loves it. And, as far as I am concerned that is all that matters. The sound, the colors, the characters and the keys all all conducive to the purpose that it was intended for.
I bought it for my daughter so she could use it when I was on our family computer.
The only thing (and its not a big thing)is that I wish the screen was bigger.
I would highly recommend it or buy it as a gift.

Disney's Laptop by LeapFrog
My daughter Lily got this for her 3rd birthday. We have always loved LeapFrog products. This was her favorite present, hands down. My 6 and 9 year olds even love it! I am really impressed by how many things it does. After playing with it for a day Lily can identify some letters and numbers. The music is great, and I LOVE that there is a high low switch, making it a quiet toy as well as a learning toy!

A perfect laptop for your Princess!
Our 3.5 yr old got this for Christmas and LOVES having "my own 'puter". It is easy for her to open for herself and she loves to hear her favorite characters speaking to her! She likes the activity that sounds out words as you type in letters, and gets so excited when she actually makes a word! She also really likes the counting activity. This laptop has been banged around and dropped several times and it is in perfect working condition. ... Read more

Recommended Age is not correct
My daughter received this gift for her 1st birthday knowing that she would grow into it fairly soon. The picture on the box showed a seat that is about 6 inches off the ground. I stored it in the closet until she was 20 months old (18 months is the recommended age to start) and my daughter was so excited to see us put together her first bike. What a dissapointment when her feet couldn't reach the pedals. This was a full size tricycle and there is no way she would be able to ride it. She had a lot of fun when we would push her around on it, but that is way tooo tiring for an all day event. My daughter is now two years old and her feet still can't make it all the way around on the pedals. She is tall for her age, so shame on the manf for putting an incorrect age to start. We ended up purchasing a bike that would fit her height and she loves it!

Lot's of fun but pedals poorly attached
My daughter loved riding on this tricycle. But after only 1 month in the house, one of the pedals came off and now she can't ride it anymore. I would have expected more durability for the price paid. Recommend spending a little more and getting a more durable product.

Cute bike
This bike was purchased for my 2 year old daughter. She just fits the bike. After about a month of practicing, she can actually pedal down the street. A great first bike!

Disney Princess Trike---Perfect for a 3 Year
We just bought this for our 3 1/2 year old daughter. Although she is already very good at the peddaling thing, this was her pick. She loves the Disnay Princesses, and although the box says up to 3, she is not ready for a bicycle yet, she is very small for age, mostly short and she doesn't not feel as safe on the bicycle because of the breaks on the pedals, she is not ready yet, if we make it until next summer, I find this to have been a great investment, she loves it. Only complaint, the directions were horrible! My hubby assembled it on his own from looking at the picture on the box.

Daughter Absolutely LOVES it!
I bought this for my daughter when she was 2 1/2. She is a small girl, (my 18 mo old niece was about the same size) and my daughter could ride it right away. No way an average size 1 year old could ride it though, in my opinion especially with the coordination aspect. 12 month old??? I don't think so. Toys R Us's age recommendation fits better than the mfg. My daughter is turning 3 and I think it will suit her for awhile. Although a bit too big for it, a 6 year old neighborhood girl was having fun riding it today. ... Read more

Magical Castle Dollhouse! a dream come true!
Don't listen to the bad reviews for this dollhouse, it is AMAZING! It has AMAZING detailing that ive never seen in one of those ole' Barbie houses! Its also got great furniture and a staircase! It is a gorgeous dollhouse, definetly worth the price!

Don't bother
I purchased this for my (nearly) four-year-old daughter. It is really, really flimsy. She is not a rough player; on the contrary, she is quite gentle. However, this castle's parts continually fall apart. I have finally been reduced to taking it all apart (storing the staircase, railings, etc, in a box in the garage)while she plays with the main structure that remains. Just a head's up -- I have purchased several items now under the "Disney" label -- and disappointingly, they all have been very cheaply made. Not at all on par with their pricing.

terrific toy
This princess dollhouse is awesome.It is beautiful, and is my daughter's "dreamhouse."It includes all furniture, and is very large.The pieces snap together very tightly, and I
barely even needed the instructions. It was very common sense
and easy to put together.It took me ten minutes to finish.
It is much more than I expected, and it is the highlight toy
of my daughter's birthday.

Very flimsy, pieces keep falling off the castle
My daughter received this for Christmas. We put it together for her. Most of the parts just snap together or pop in to each other.This is the problem.As my daughter plays with it, and she is not rough with it, the parts fall off over and over again. I thought that this was such a great toy for her to play with and that she could use her imagination.It is a great idea, but it needs to be more stable. I feel it is very expensive considering the fact that it is very flimsy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The princess in your house will delight in preparing for special events at her light-up vanity table. The pink plastic table and stool come adorned with four of Disney''s most popular princesses--Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The mirror opens up to reveal three heart-shaped mirrors for primping and the opened panels are accompanied by lights and beautiful music. The table has a pull-out center drawer and two swing-out side drawers for storing royal beauty products. Drawers come stocked with a comb, a brush, two barrettes, and a pair of pink dangly earrings. Accessories also include pretend bottles of lotion, perfume, and nail polish and a play lipstick. The vanity measures 31-by-15-1/2-by 10-1/2 inches and the stool measures 29-by-18-by-10 inches when assembled. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Princess Pleaser
My 3 year old LOVES this toy, she now has to do her "hair an make-up" before we leave the house. It has great light and sound features, the only downside is the toy is a bit wobbly on its legs!! I would recommend getting accessories---the blow dryer is a big hit!!

Not bad...
My daughter got this today for her 3rd b-day. It's really adorable and the accessories are a real cute touch, but the mirror section is heavier than the bottom half and the legs seem kind of flimsy making it fairly top heavy so it needs to be placed against a wall. It is also very small. I knew it was not going to be large after reading some reviews but was still surprised by its size. It is honestly not much bigger than the vertical picture on the box. The stool is pathetically tiny measuring only 6 1/2 inches in height. The vanity itself is 31 inches tall from the tip of the mirror to the floor and about 16 inches wide. The positive side is that it doesn't take up much room, but the downside is that she will probably outgrow it fairly fast. Once assembled the drawer is a bit tight and kind of hard to open but not a major problem. I think that it's decent for the price, you are after all paying for the "Disney Princess" theme/characters in addition to the product. If you're daughter is a big princess fan then it will probably be a big hit though she will probably be more impressed than you.

A great toy for my little princesses!
I have two girls, 2&3 year olds, they are Princess finatics.
I bought two of these vanities this summer and when I got them home my husband put them together in about 5 minutes.
They are absolutely gorgeous, the decals are nice and clear very bold vibrant colors.
The mirrors are plastic but they show a really good reflection, and the lights are spectacular, be sure to have 4AA bateries on hand. The only thing to be mindful of is that the vanity is made of a light weight plastic and it does tend to tip over easily so be sure to put it against a wall or something for stability. This is a great item I am so glad I bought it, I have no regrets and if you get this vanity you won't either.
In the words of my daughters, "woooooow!" when I hear that word I know that I have a hit.

They love it!!
My 2 & 5 year olds love this!!! I have had no problems with lights not working or any broken parts. In fact I even catch my boys sometimes playing with it. The fun my kids have using this vanity was well worth the price.

Disney should be ashamed to put their name on this one!
What a piece of junk! We bought this for our 2 year old daughter for Christmas, well we returned it the next day! The lights on the mirror do not work, the whole thing was so flimsey and poorly made. I think that $...iw ay too much for this toy. Do not waste you money on this thing at all! I would go for the Step 2 Barbie vanity, which is wonderful! ... Read more

The Puurfect Rocker
This toy is excellent i brought this for my 1 year old daugther for her first birthday and she loves it. She plays on it everyday when she comes in from daycare. She drags it all around the house with her rocking all around. I recommend this toy to all the mothers who really love Winnie the Pooh. ... Read more

grab shell dude!
Alex got this for Christmas and absolutely loves it! This is neck and neck w/Lion King as his favorite LeapPad book. The best part for the 'big people' in the house are the jellyfish game and the turtle game.

Finding fun with Nemo
My son is a big fan of Finding Nemo so this is, naturally, his favorite Leap Pad book right now. It has fun games with different facts about ocean creatures which my son loves.

So, as usual, another fun book from Leap Pad that I highly recommend.

Great Toy!
My kids, Ally 3.5 years, Christopher 4.5 years, and Matthew 6 years, adored this LeapFrog book. They are huge Finding Nemo fans. They have the VHS, the DVD, the X-Box game, Christopher has the bed set, we have the stuffed animals, the plates, the cups, the bowls, EVERYTHING NEMO! I saw this book in the store and I knew that Nemo's #1 Fans would love it. My boy's both have Leap Pads. My daughter Ally has the My First Leap Pad for younger kids. The only problem was the kids fighting over who was going to get to "read" it next.

Finding Nemo is great!
My almost 4 year old daugther loves this book! She explores with it all the time. The story is a condensed version of the movie. The book also allows children to explore different facts about the sea and it's creatures. I highly recommend it.

Great for Nemo Lovers of all Ages
I got this for my 2 1/2 year old daughter as an intro into her big brothers Leap Pad system. She adores Nemo, and this is the only Leap Pad book that will hold her attention. She can sit with it for about 30 minutes, which is a lifetime for a 2 year old. The picutes are cute, drawings, not the computer generated pictures of the movie. The story is very abbreviated, but hits most of the points. The voices are good, though Albert Brooks is noticebly missing as Marlin. The games are not great, but the educational value is high, for learning about the ocean and its inhabitants. I would recommend this book to anyone with a Nemo Lover or anyone interested in fish and the ocean. ... Read more

If She is a Princess, she'll love it
Like most 4 year old girls my daughter has been swept into the world of the Disney Princess. This book was a great start to teach her how to use her new leapfrog. It was full of different songs as well as different activities and questions at the end of the book based on the stories inside.

Princess Stories
Its a nice book for a little girl who likes all the Disney Princess stories. But if your looking for an educational book I'd suggest a different book.

Got a lemon!
We have had our Leap Pad for over a year and love it. My 3 1/2 yr old daughter just started using it and wanted a "girl book" so Santa brought her this one. It will not work, and says "whoops, that's not a leap pad cartridge!" We'll be going back to the store for an exchange to try again. Bummer, she was really disappointed. All our other cartridges still work fine - never had a problem!

A good book for a child wanting to read
My 3 1/2 year old has several LeapPad books and likes this one because of the princesses. I think this book would be best for a child who is ready to start reading. My daughter likes to play the games in the book, but isn't really interested in reading the story yet. If your child is ready to focus on the story and read words, this would be a good book. If your child is still learning letters and sounds, I recommend the Phonics Lesson 1 book first, or the other LeapStart books like the math ones (ie. Lots and Lots of Honey Pots).

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT
MY GRANDAUGHTER LOVES THIS TOY AND I HAVE JUST ORDERED SEVERAL MORE BOOKS TO GO WITH IT, I DO WISH WHEN LEAP FROG ITEMS ARE SOLD THOUGH THAT WHAT THEY ARE COMPATIBLE WITH WAS LISTED. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Is there no end to what these Disney Princesses can do? Now they're ice queens--in only the most flattering manner of speaking, of course. Cinderella pirouettes like an Olympic champ in her fluffy lavender tulle costume. Just snap the (admittedly unattractive) plastic belt around Cinderella's waist, wind her up, and watch her spin! After the show, Cinderella can slip into something more fashionable: a pale lavender-ruffed pink suit with matching boots and over-the-shoulder bag. Cinderella's moveable joints allow her to explore many different poses and skating moves, although it's a shame the mechanics of those joints are so exposed. Her long pink gloves don't quite cover her unfinished looking elbows. --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

Not the best ride-on
I bought this ride-on for my daughter for her first birthday. At first she couldn't make it go, the she was able to make it go backwards, and finally three months later she mastered the thing. The problem with this toy is that the recommended age is to three years old and my daughter is now 21 months and can't ride it anymore for she has outgrown it. My daughter is a bit tall for her age and now her knees hit the steering wheel and her feet keep getting it the way. Another thing I never liked about it is that it is so light weight that it tips VERY easily, also the horn is a cute feature, but it is almost impossible for a toddlar to push it. The under the seat storage is nice, but my daughter never really used it and the detachable purse in front is too hard to remove and replace, plus the edges are too sharp. One feature that I found to be very smart is the high-back on the seat, not only does it keep your child from falling backwards, it gives them something to hold onto while getting on and off the vehicle.

Noisy
Its a durable toy but very noisy... its not your typical noise.... this rider has what seems to be a rattle so it is an especially noisy toy and cannot be used if there is anyone trying to nap in the house....it's quite annoying.

Got our money's worth!!
My daughter got this for her first Christmas. She couldn't even walk yet but loved to sit on it and push it. Well she is three now and still rides that car all over the apartment! She gets on it and says she's going to work. Although she is starting to outgrow it (finally!) it is one of her favorite toys! Never have had a problem with it in two years! Great buy!

BEWARE!!! NOT A GOOD TOY!!!
We received this item as a gift for my daughter's first birthday. At first it was all great and everything, pretty and adorable. She did like to play with it and honeslty tried, but the thing was not sturdy enough for her to play with. She kept trying to push it and would end up toppling over it. She also sat down on it and got her little foor stuck under it. I just don't think it's safe for her to play with. It is just a [pooly made] peice of plastic in my opinion.

Enjoyable Toy
I bought this for my daughter when she was 8 months and she just loves it. She like to get on it and tries to ride it but can't do it just yet. She loves to push her cousin on it and just enjoys pushing the buttons.This was well worth the money! ... Read more
