DD is 7 and wants a switch for Xmas. She says she want it to play everywhere so I think it's the portability she wants (and to keep it away from her sister) I don't really want to guy her one for a few reasons. 1 we already have a PS4 and oh is lusting after a ps5, 2 they aren't cheap and 3 I still think she's at the young end for it. She loves os games but mainly Lego and little big planet...she's not in to big games yet and I also worry slightly about it getting lost and damaged. I saw the switch lite but I wondered if there are any others out there I could look at. My other thought was that my newphew still plays on his 3Ds. I was thinking I could get her a second hand one and lots of Pokémon games...she loves Pokémon but not sure if that would be super uncool! All suggestions welcome.

3DS is definitely not uncool! And better than a switch for that age imo. There is the ps vita as well, it has little big planet and other games on it but it was discontinued in 2019 so no new games. They are relatively cheap though!

I don't know how much your willing to spend but Nintendo switch lite (or something) aren't a silly amount, same as the switch except you can't put it on the telly - I'm 25 and I love mine especially animal crossing - maybe you could get her that as her main present which is still up to date then and they have a few colour options

I'm sorry I should have read your full post Blush I'd still recommend it but I wouldn't say a 3DS is uncool especially at 7
