I donвЂ™t have to guess how K is doing with her learning games, I can go online and see for myself. Pretty neat.)ДЄnother really neat feature of the MobiGo 2 is the online progress log for parents. K is learning before she even hits elementary school. (This вЂњold ladyвЂќ over here remembers my mom and dad sending me to computer school to learn to type when I was in middle school. Because it is a QWERTY-styleВ keyboardВ K is also learning the placement of keys without even realizing it - aВ necessaryВ skill. An addedВ benefitВ of the MobiGo 2 is the slide-out keyboard.

With K in Pre-K this year, letter games are veryВ important. I mentioned loving the learning aspect of technology. (K loves the motion option with theВ HamsterВ Highway game.) So while I still wish games could be shared across devices, activating different features perhaps, I get that they are different systems with different ways to play. Yes, you can interact with the MobiGo 2 by motion and sound. InВ additionВ to buttons and a touch screen, there is also a slide-out keyboard, motion control and sound activation. But I quickly discovered why.В What makes the MobiGo 2 so different is theВ varietyВ of options for play. So if you have both, you still have to have games for each. When I checked out the cartridgeВ options I was disappointed that the MobiGo 2 takes differentВ cartridgesВ than the InnoTab. VTech also offers a carrying case for $12.99В that comes in blue or pink, which seems like a good idea to me. Target sells theВ cartridgeВ games for $19.99 each, but Amazon has the same games from $12.99 вЂ“ $19.99. WeвЂ™ve yet to get any of theВ cartridge games, but I have a feeling we will see a request for some on her Christmas wish list. The cartridge options includeВ licensedВ characters from Disney,В Nickelodeon, etc. In addition to the downloadable content (games and ebooks), you can also purchaseВ cartridgeВ games. The MobiGo also includes a drawing application and picture viewer, which are also ready to use out of the box. Of course, the fanciest games have to be purchased, but it is great that it comes ready to use.

It came with two games pre-installed (HamsterВ Highway & Shooting Gallery) plus download credit for three more games. Have you ever had to tell your kiddo they couldnвЂ™t play with something yet right after opening it because it had to be set up first? Not fun! So thatвЂ™s a big plus in my book. (Hint use rechargeableВ batteries!) I LOVE that it comes with pre-installed games.

Straight out of the box all we had to do was add four AA batteries and the MobiGo 2 was ready play. вЂњI am taking pictures for my blog, Mommy,вЂќ she replied. After handing over the VTech MobiGo 2, she ran to get her camera, sat on the floor and proceeded to take pictures of the new toy. (Soon her baby sister will be old enough to pass down the old device вЂ“ sniff sniff.)ДЄs usual K nearly burst withВ excitementВ when I told her I had something new for her.

But she has long since mastered the games on her old device, so when I was invited to have her test out the VTech MobiGo 2 (ages 3-8) I was thrilled to upgrade her tech. ThatвЂ™s a nearly 3 year shelf life on a toy, pretty good if you ask me. The new toy was an instant hit, and has served her well to this day. There was no way she was old enough for that yet. To be frank, I thought my friend was a bit nuts. My daughter got her first вЂњgaming systemвЂќ a few months before her second birthday from a friend for Christmas. When kids can learn and have fun at the same time - thatвЂ™s a win-win! IsnвЂ™t it? WhatвЂ™s even cooler is to see kids navigate technology withoutВ hesitationВ and without realizing that they are learning valuable skills at the same time.
