I have an exciting product to share with you today. This is a sneak peak at vtech’s new MobiGo system that will be introduced in Toys R Us stores on Monday. MobiGo is a Mobile Gaming System that has not only the traditional gaming buttons, but also a full quarty keyboard and a touch screen. MobiGo is a small lightweight device that is designed to help kids learn and play all at the same time. You can also connect the MobiGo to the Internet to download extra surprises or upload your scores to receive awards. Here a closer look at my experience with the vtech MobiGo.
When the MobiGo first arrived my son was so excited to get it open and out of the box. I was a little worried because I was afraid the games would be too complicated to figure out (He’s 2 1/2 and the age range on the toy says 3-8) I knew he would be frustrated if it was too advanced for him. Much to my surprise it didn’t take long for him to start figuring it out. The MobiGo actually comes with one Touch & Learn Game Pack which has several games that were easy to use and educational at the same time.

VIDEOS
We were leaving on vacation the day the MobiGo arrived so it made the perfect take along toy for the car. I loved that I could attach his MyPhones and I didn’t have to listen to the music for 2 hours while he was entertained playing games. Most of the games have more than one level so that makes it nice for younger children.
I loved that the touch screen was so easy to use and responsive. There is a game (Shown on the left) where you learn to trace the shapes. This is a great way to learn and have fun at the same time. It’s really just about the right learning level for my son. He knows his shapes but learning to drawthem is fun for him. Also, since he’s grown up in the world of iPhones and the iPod touch he is much happier with a Touch Screen than with the Keyboard. It is amazing to me that this age group prefers the touch screen to the keyboards so I was excited to see this feature added to a gaming system.
You can purchase additional games for the MobiGo which feature licensed characters like Dora the Explorer and Toy Story 3. These games have a suggested retail value of $19.99. I would say having to purchase additional games is the one downside to this (and really any) gaming system. The games can be expensive if you want to purchase more than one so that’s something you will want to make sure you take into consideration before making a purchase. I actually think Zach will be happy using the games that came with the system for a while. Not until he’s a few years older would I really think about adding other games. You can get more information on the MobiGo from vtech onlineand You can find the MobiGo in Toys R Us stores starting on Monday June 7th.

I would love to win the mobigo for my daughter,she would love to have her own game system insted of asking brother to let her play his..he’s not willing to share all the time so this would be perfect for my lil princess.
I want to win this because my daughter loves games but doesn’t have any handheld ones like her older sister does.
My grandson would love the touchscreen technology because he plays with my Itouch all the time.
I want to win a MobiGo because we live 30 minutes from town, and it would be nice for my girls to be able to learn on the trips to and from town, rather than watching the neighbor’s cows go by!

I have a 3 and 4 yr ols that could use this and the 4 yr old is turning 5 in 2 weeks so this would be a cool birthday presant.
I’m an email subscriber and would love this for my 3 yr old! She has CP and can’t use the typical games her brother and sisters use. This would be fantastic for her fine motor skills and make her feel just like the others!
My son’s birthday is just a couple weeks away and he turns three. This would be a great gift for him plus summer traveling time is here so it would be great to keep him occupied while in the car.
We are taking two really long driving trips this summer and I know the vtech MobiGo would provide great entertainment and learning for my 3 year old. Thanks for doing this!

Hello! I recieve your emails and heard about this cool game! I would love it for either of my two children who love learning and experiencing new things. Things are tight so our only options are to either win it or not have it at all. Either way, they would be happy though! Love reading about you and all that you do for your family to save. Very encouraging, keep up the hard work, I am sure you already feel blessed because of it!
I have a very advanced little Grandaughter (who, I must say is the single greatest gift to our family). My son and her both live with us as he finishes college (he JUST turned 21). Her 2nd birthday is June 14th and I would love to win this and give it to my son to give to his daughter…He has very little as a young single Dad (with custody). Money is so tight (for us too as he and his twin sister still live at home and I stay home now to care for Peyton, our Grandaughter) and I would just love to see HIS face when we give it too HIM….and then HER face when he gives it to HER!!!
I would like to win this because I have 5 children under the age of 7 :)
Would love to get this for my youngest son. He always wants to play his older brothers’ and sister’s Nintendo DSi’s. This would be perfect for him and it even has Toy Story. We love Buzz in our house.

Happy email subscriber.
I would love this for my three year old. He is always having to tagalog to his sisters practices, running errands and going to various appointments with me. The bag of activities or toys I take along just don’t seem to keep his attention and this would keep him entertained and it is educational.
