Nathan has been using the Explorer for about 6 months now - he is 2 years 9 months. He LOVES it! Even though it's marketed for 4 - 9 years, he plays every day if I let him. Aiden loves it too but is reaching the threshold on some of the lower age games. The games self correct, so as the child masters something the games get harder. Makes it nice to play the same games over and over as it stores the child's info.

This new one has an increased reading functionality as well as a built in camera and microphone. It comes with applications for basic photo editing etc too so it really is a lovely and fun learning tool.
