Fisher Price IXL vs Vtech v Reader
My son's 4th birthday is next month and I am debating on which system to go with. I've already purchased the VTech Vreader but am questioning my decision since I saw the new Fisher Price IXL. My son has a Leapster 2 and is pretty handy with other electronic systems. I am wondering if I should stick with the Vreader or try the IXL instead? Has any moms purchased either one of these systems and how has it worked for your child?

I ended up getting him the IXL, however, I am not entirely happy with my purchase and my son doesnt play with it too much. I think I would go more towards the leapster explorer.

With the average preschooler spending 32 hours a week in front of the screen, I'd suggest getting him some board games, construction toys, books or craft materials. It'll be great for his academic, social and emotional growth!

I have a friend who has the VTech and her son is 4.....he loves it......and it's helped him a lot......I guess it depends on what your son likes and what games come with each....how expanded it is and what the educational value is....
Good Luck and Happy Birthday to your son!
