Broken Innotab 2

[SantasComingEarlyHisSackIsFull]

I need you lot to sort me out. Please.

DS2 (4yrs old) dropped his new Christmas Innotab2 yesterday, from less than his own height onto laminate wood floor. The screen cracked. I feel sorry for him. He is only four and I told him to be careful with it a few times.

So, do I take it back to John Lewis and respectfully ask for an exchange, on the basis that it should be a little tougher for the 4-9 years age range?

If the answer is "no", do I buy another one, rather than try and "teach him a lesson in life" at the tender age of four and only let him play with it sitting down?

I feel quite sad for him, because he didn't cry his eyes out. He came and said, "sorry, sorry, I broke my new Innotab", so he was more worried that we would be cross. I did have to go into the bedroom to have a moment.

Was it worth it though?
My DGC has just got one, along with a charger as my DC had heard that it eats batteries.
But it's not a charger, it's a plug! So it's either used plugged in or with batteries for the 20 minutes they last!
Very disappointed.

Nanny we bought those super-duper duracell batteries and they have been going for a couple of days now. I am going to see how it goes and then I might get some rechargables.

Bought my ds a Nabbi 2. So far it has survived being dropped down the stairs from top to bottom by 3 year old brother- no damage but telling off for 3 year old and momentary panic from me as EXPENSIVE!

Dd's Nabi has taken a beating in the last few days. Not a mark on it.

So glad that we didnt get the innotab.
