GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED!
Congratulations to Kellie Conklin, winner of the VTech MobiGo!
It's kinda crazy how it just seems like overnight, my sweet blonde haired baby boy becomes an uber-intelligent, tech-savvy big kid. He knows how to maneuver my iPhone in ways "I" can't even figure out, he can program a DVD player to play his favorite movie over and over and over, and he has mastered his new VTech MobiGo in under a day!
VTech was cool enough to send us a VTech MobiGo [$59.99] to review, and my son really loves it. Fortunately for VTech, we are also owners of a LeapFrog Leapster, so I feel like we have a hand up being able to compare the two similar game systems (not to mention BOTH kids can play with one at a time. Less screaming, which is AWESOME!). The Mobigo is the perfect size for Jonah's little three year old hands, and he loves the fact that the screen pops up to reveal a keyboard. The keyboard makes it helpful to to teach letters, which is a plus because we are right in that stage of his development and education that he is able to understand.
At first he got easily frustrated with it. I think he was so used to being familiar with the Leapster that features on the MobiGo; like the touch screen and much brighter and more colorful graphics were confusing to him. Don't tell Leapster, but he hasn't touched that thing since the MobiGo arrived. Poor Leapster. Lily still loves you.
In the box also came the Touch & Learn game, which Jonah has become a pro at! Many of the games teach him gross motor skills and self control. He is also learning patience and how to take direction. Even though he knows his colors and some numbers and letters, he gets better every single day with the use of the Mobigo.
The Mobigo is also not surprisingly tough, rugged and durable. In a house with
toddlers under the age of 4, nearly EVERYTHING hits the ground more than ten times a day. I have never seen so many things shatter, break and crack like I have has a mother. This toy has done it's job in keeping it together, even with the most high maintenance toddler hurling it across the room.

Now, I know the price might scare some people, because it would scare me too.
But for $59.99, you don't just get a toy for a 3 year old. You get a toy that will
grow with your child. As Jonah's brain get's more complex and adventurous, so will the games. The only drawback of the VTech website that I have seen in regards to the MobiGo is how they don't clearly state what age group each game is intended for. Before I buy any additional games, I will definitely be emailing the VTech customer service so I can get a more clear idea on which games would be a good fit for my son at his age (the Toys R Us site does mention some age recommendations, but I'm still going to call, just to be sure). I am pretty sure he will love the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Toy Story 3 games. And when my daughter gets a little older, I'm sure she will want the Dora and Disney Princesses games. And did I mention, the MobiGo comes in a very boy-ish blue and yellow, as well as a girly girl pink and purple? I am also thinking of picking up the carrying
case, just for extra protection on the go.

I love the VTech Camera for kids. My boys have one and it's indestructible and not to mention, they leave my camera alone and feel like big boys!
My son LOVES LOVES LOOOOVES Vtech toys, and I'm not exagerating! He grew up on these toys, and it's amazing how they never seem to grow old to him no matter how often he plays! We own the Alphabet Apple, Vsmile Motion, the Camera, and other tidbits.. I know he would LOVE to win the MobiGo!!
