VTech - V.Smile Pocket Learning System - Pink

I bought this hand held video game console for my 4 and 5 year old daughters; mostly because they already use the VSmile video game and enjoy it. I really like that they can use the same game cartridges for both, which seriously cuts down on the expense of purchasing games. So far, this has been the hit of Christmas. They already were familiar with the format of the games so the learning curve was very shallow. Being able to take the games with them to different areas of the house (like their room) has really been a big plus. They can't really play two player like they do with the stationery console but that really hasn't been an issue.

The media could not be loaded. Okay so I didn’t read that the product was used so THAT was my fault.. I went to turn in on to make sure it works correctly and it won’t even turn on!!! I brought this for my d3 year old daughter for Christmas this year now I have less than two weeks to find her a game system. It’s not a “little” wear and tear it came with ALOT! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Great toy and entertainment for the road, plane or visits. Each game has different levels and even things that can be fun for kids as young as 3. You just have to supervise getting to the game and then they are okay. The actual machine can be dropped without damage but the way the game is attached can be the devastating point. Perhaps that is partially why it is rec. for 5-8 years though many of the games are from 3 and up. We also have the reg. V-smile so I love the fact that the games are inter-changeable. In any way it is a great time for young ones.

My daughters system stopped working after only 2.5 months. So I looked for troubleshooting solution in internet. That what worked for us." Remove the batteries from the system....hold down the power button for a 45 sec to minute, reinsert the batteries and it should work. " I hope it will work for you too :-)

Bought the V.Smile Pocket (pink) for my 4 year old daughter for Christmas. Came with the Cinderella game, bought Aladdin, Dora, and Ariel games. I'm very impressed with their structure and patience for dealing with a young mentality on the learning curve with a new system (some games give up on you fairly early, while others just yell at you for not quickly making a choice).This handheld game system is solid and comfortable in the hands, the lighting is good, and the button placement is comfortable and easy to manage.Admittedly, the games I chose are a bit advanced, but still went over well, even with her frustration (very independant, does NOT want help, thank you!). Am now looking for the Care Bear and Pooh Bear games locally.It shut down without warning only twice....when the battery which came with the system died. My daughter told me it had turned off on it's own, so I turned it back on and watched it, and off it went again. New batteries (Can't remember if I used Energizer Lithium or Energizer Titanium, but it was one of the two...I was looking for batteries designed for high tech devices), and it's done beautifully ever since.Would buy the game system again in a heartbeat, and am strongly considering the home system, too.My only negative has nothing to do with the unit, but the prices some sellers are charging. Wait until you can find it in the approximately $60-80 price range. $70-80 is the normal price range (and sometimes has a car adaptor included), and lower than that is a great sale. Anything higher than that is a dealer taking advantage of supply/demand. For the record, Amazon themselves don't do that.

I received the item and was a little upset that you can deff tell the item has been used. As my husband and I were trying to play games on the console we discovered the enter button does not work. Very upsetting since my daughter's birthday is 2 days away. I will certainly be returning the item.

I bought this for my daughter last Christmas, and have since added several games for her to play with. She is 5, and loves them all. Most of the games have an area where they can choose educational games to play, but she usually goes for the ones that are more fun than learning. Lately, though, she's getting the educational part down now being in Kindergarten. I wish I would've know they'd be discontinuing this system this year, as now it's harder to find the games for this one. The new handheld has a flip open screen, which might break easier, to me. This one is durable. and well built. It does not come with the power cord adapter, so you have to buy it for an additional $10-12, unless you want to burn through batteries like crazy.

i bought this for my niece for her 3yr old b-day and she loves it! she's a great fan of disney princes and is all she can think off playing all the time, is very educational toy, my 3 yr old boy has it too but blue and also has the vtech tv learning system and has most of the games and likes it a lot! i recomend
