Hi, my 4.5 yr old DD has just started reception. She's seen a Tag system and really wants one for Christmas. Anyone got one and what do you think? Also seen the Storio and wondered if if compares. Input welcome, thanks.

I've literally just come on to ask the same question!

My friend has the Leapfrog Tag and really likes is, though I've just seen the Storio and now don't know which one to go for.

I've read a few reviews and apparently the Storio is very battery hungry and you need to change them weekly if it gets average usage. It's quite fiddly to change the too. The cartridges are more expensive.

The Leapfrog only holds 5 books, but they are cheaper and at least still look like books rather than a piece of plastic tat. It take two AAA batteries, and these need replacing regularly, but obviously less hungry than the Storio. It's about half the price of the Storio too.

I'm erring towards the Leapfrog TAG, but would welcome someone else's opinion!
