LeapFrog My Pal Scout, Plush Pre School Learning Toy with Personalisation, Songs, Learning Puppy with Phrases and Lullabies, Suitable for 6 Months and 1, 2, 3 Year Old Boys and Girls

My 3 year old son got this for his birthday and although he loves it and it is a neat toy, it really could have been technically executed a little better. I am hoping they send out updates via the USB cord to make his speech a little bit smoother and that they enhance the variety of "elevator" music availableThe USB cable that comes with Scout is incredibly short and I would recommend a second mini USB cable if you do not already have one for another computer peripheral. The customization process was straight forward and we had him done quickly. My only complaint is that you have to create a user account and the Internet is required but that's a minor compliant since Scout ships able to be interactive without being customized. Additionally, Scout has volume control on his battery box and is not obnoxiously loud even on his highest volumeScout is very, very soft and even with the battery box in his trunk, the puppy's body is soft and cuddly. My son spends a lot of his play time with Scout hugging him and petting him.Scout has three main features - Play games, Sing Songs, and Night Songs (the fourth paw is on and off):- The Play Games paw just chatters with your child. Asking him what his favorite color, animal and food is - Scout and Baby have the same ones after you program them. Scout also makes animal noises, talks about feelings "I feel happy, show me your biggest smile!" and engages your child in direct dialog.- The songs Scout sings are cute and the choices you make when customizing show up in the songs he sings. Poor technical integration is shown when any of the customized items appear in the songs - Scout sounds like he has a speech problem because the tamper and inflection of the customized objects does not match the song being sung. Also, the only music you can customize in this section is elevator music. I would like to see songs with words, more known children's songs (very surprised not to see "Baby Beluga") or the ability to add your own music to Scout.- The Night Songs paw is pretty cool. You click it once and it does 5 mins of the "night" music you choose when customizing continuously. Press it again, you get 10; once more and you get 15. Although our guy doesn't have problems sleeping, it might be a nice touch if your little one has some problems sleeping or being alone in the quiet.If you are looking for a chatty puppy - Get Scout or Violet.

Fun interactive toy that can be personalised to your child.A great gift for 1-4yo

What a great toy! LeapFrog have surpassed themselves this time. There is no doubt in my mind as to why this was chosen as mother & baby item of the year!Although this is for 6-36 months, I bought this for our 6 week old daughter, it says her name, favourite animal, colour & food ( chosen from a list of options ). Granted, she doesn't have favourites yet, but with the ability to change the options as frequently as we like, there's no harm in hinting that her favourite food should be vegetables ;-)She loves her Scout, he speaks in an adorable little boy's voice, and is quickly becoming her best friend. Everyone we show thinks it's fantastic that he says her name, and with little songs about how they're best friends, and spelling out her name, we couldn't ask for more... Well, maybe one thing- it'd be nice if he said mummy/mum and daddy/dad as we think her first word might end up being her own name.. And we're a tad jealous!Knowing how great this is, I'd have happily paid more, it's a great investment and can be altered to be used with subsequent children too. 5 Stars & A++ from us.

This is one of the best toys I ever bought.I bought it for my son for his first Christmas just so he had a teddy to sing to him in bed. He was only nearly 4 months old. That was over 2 years ago.I've only had to replace the batteries once.Scout's been EVERYWHERE since.My son adores him. He takes him to bed, puts him to sleep, enjoys singing the songs that Scout sings to him, he helps to progress my sons speaking, my son tries to feed him food, he takes him out anywhere we go and my son speaks to him and tells him storiesI also bought my son the Leap Pad, which has Scout and Violet on it. So combined they are perfect because he loves Scout.I'd say this is a must for any parent. At first, my son didn't bother with him because he was just another teddy. But over the past year he's adored him.I also had to buy this as a Christmas present for another member of the family!Definitely a 5 star toy, as are most of Leap Frogs products. Every single one that I've bought for my son have helped him in one way or another just by playing with it. I teach him stuff from books and flash cards etc but they're not as effective as toys, because he likes playing, he's a child. And the more he plays, the more he hears!

Edit: I’ve now bought this as a gift for babies and toddlers in my life 8 times!! I bought one very recently with “frustration free packaging” and highly recommend this option! It is definitely a well loved, personalized, exploratory, educational and fun toy and used lots by the children and families I’ve personally bought for!I have bought this as a gift 4 or 5 times and each time is has been well loved! It’s great that you can personalize it and the kiddos seem to love it! Will be buying again

This lil fellow is my one year old daughter's favorite toy. Her face beams up whereever she sees it! It's been almost 6 months and it's working fine. Had to replace the battery once in between. Great buy!
