Pros

    Comments about Little Tikes Young Explorer™:

    This is heavy and bulky. My kids and grand kids are not that taken with it so i consider it a waste of money. It won't bring that much at a yard sale if it gets many more dings in it.

      i work in an early childhood center with 2-5 yr olds. our 3-5 yr olds love this little tikes explorer computer. one on one work, parallel play, cooperative play, the activities provided within the explorer make it all possible. interactive with children and "talks" to them, which is their favorite!!!

      Comments about Little Tikes Young Explorer™:

      Great, i love the product, however, i do think that it is training my kids to be drones in cubicles when they turn into adults, they should want more than that, i'm a lawyer and my partner is an engineer, so we frown upon the cubical concept.

      Comments about Little Tikes Young Explorer™:

      For [$] this is perfect. For [$] you could do MUCH better buying individual toys and computers for your child. Like any other computer-based appliance, this will go out of style in a VERY short time. Once the kids have nicked it up a bit, it sure won't bring much at the garage sale. As a woodworker and former computer programmer, I will be building something much more functional for my grandchildren.

        Comments about Little Tikes Young Explorer™:

        We have our Little Tykes in the childrens' area of our library. The children that come in are drawn to it immediately. It provides great parent child interaction and the kids love it. The design tells them that it's something just for them and the pre-loaded programs are just right to make learning fun.
