Customer Reviews

YAY for the VTech V.Smile Pocket!
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.

Great for learning and fun!
This product is everything it's advertised to be and more. I bought it for my three-year old grandaughter and she loves it! Although it's recommended for slightly older children - I don't think you can go wrong with the entire VTech learning system.

Excellent toy
The V.smile portable game is wonderful. My four year old just loves taking it along on errands and I enjoy the peace and quiet. After being dropped (hard) onto concrete several times it is still working perfectly so the durability is there.
