Quantum Leap Mind Station Connector

Its ok

This is the old one it only had 2 MB of memoryI don't think the make it anymore I would not recommend

I bought this item to expand my daughter's leappad, and it is great. She has already had me download three different units for her use. While the unit is slower than I thought it would be and has a few "secrets" (wait for congratulations not the end of the download) overall it is well worth the money. I suggest you order extra cartidges for it when you get it however. The one it comes with limits use to one unit at a time. With multiples, you can change games as your child's attention span goes.

Why is it not mentioned on the page displaying the Mind Station that you will need an additional part (the tray that holds the pages) for your Leap Pad?To find this information, you need to go all the way down to the Never-Ending Learning Club page for the Leap Pad on the Leapfrog website and even there it is not clearly marked. And as we have found out, it is VERY difficult to hold the pages in place.When you read the description, it sounds like all you have to do is pop the cartridge into the Mind Station and the pop it into the toy. Great if you have one of the other toys, not if you have a Leap Pad. You need to register with the Never-Ending Learning club to get the tray.My son has thoroughly enjoyed using his Leap Pad for the last year. This was very disappointing for both him and his parents.

We have only downloaded one package and it was really fun for my daughter. However, getting to that point took some time and frustration on my part. There is much to download and set up before you can use this. The biggest problem I had was, in order to use this with the Leap Pad, you need a special (free) tray that fits into the book area and holds the printed activity sheets. Without the tray, Mind Station with a Leap Pad is useless. During registration at Leap Frog, I was told that when I signed up, I would be sent the tray. It took about 2-3 weeks for the tray to get here and I had to email customer service and ask for it. Until the tray arrived, we could not use the Mind Station. Customer service was very helpful and the tray arrived promptly after I emailed. I wish that the tray had come with the Mind Station or was offered during the checkout process. I love Leap Frog products and will continue to buy them. Now that we have all we need, the Mind Station, so far, does just what we wanted. It is a great tool! Buy it! But if you have a Leap Pad, don't expect to use this right out of the box.

As I had heard there was a compatibility issue with this product and only those items manufactured after August 2002 would be USB compatible, I called ahead to customer service to ensure this item was USB compatible. I was assured by customer service that this was the latest version and, therefore, decided to purchase. This is not the USB compatible version of the product. What a disappointment! It has since been returned and will have to purchase at a brick and mortar store so I can actually read the packaging. Ughhh!!!

Worked for what we needed it for.

Where was this stuff when I was growing Up? My son has about 30 new spelling words each week. It is difficult enough attempting to share time with the TV & Video games and still get his spelling words memorized. The Turbo Twist Spelling along with the Mind Station allows me to easily create his spelling word list and download it to the game. The "Toy" does the rest! It even uses his own name when teaching him. I also have called the 1-800 number for help. The people there are knowledgable, friendly, and very helpful to get you up and running with this product in very little time. The "Toy" has a head phone connection for trips in the car. Thank You Leap Frog for making learning FUN!
