Play Games with a Stylus, a Fingertip, or Buttons

With so many ways to play, the MobiGo 2 provided our testers hours of fun and learning without getting stale. Kids can control the colorful touch screen with buttons on the front of the MobiGo 2 or with the included stylus or a fingertip, just like a tablet device. The MobiGo 2 also includes a built-in motion sensor for games your child controls by tilting the toy from side to side, helping build reaction skills and hand-eye coordination. A quick slide reveals a full QWERTY keyboard. There's even a sensor on the front of the device that detects sound for the many games and apps that incorporate speech or breath controls.

Apps and Games Offer Developmental Benefits

The MobiGo 2 offers a slew of developmental benefits for your child. The e-reader function and some educational games help children learn letter names, phonics, and reading skills. Some apps that embrace science themes, math activities, and problem solving, while others promote visualization and memory, creativity, and motor skills. The MobiGo 2 offers a variety of activities, so your child can receive a well-rounded learning experience.

Controls and Accessories

Your child can turn on the MobiGo 2 with a simple switch and initiate activities with easy-to-follow prompts. The toy includes brightness and volume control buttons as well as a headphone jack, so children can play quietly without disturbing those around them.

Operating the MobiGo 2

Our testers found the MobiGo 2 easy and intuitive to operate. All games provided simple instructions. Like with many children's toys, this one produces quite a bit of sound during play, but the volume control and headphone jack ensure that children can play their favorite games quietly.

We ordered two Mobigo 2 systems for our twin girls' 4th birthday. The girls were excited and began playing the games that come pre-loaded as soon as their party ended. We noticed right away that on one of the devices there were three keys on the keyboard that didn't work at all. We returned it and Amazon sent us a replacement nearly overnight. About two weeks later, we received a few game cartridges as a belated birthday gift. We had only been playing pre-loaded and downloaded games until then. About 5 minutes into a cartridge game the second device stopped working. It would start up and begin to load and then just went to a black screen. We weren't even able to turn the device off. The girls had played gently with these toys. They have not been dropped or mistreated in any way. It is very disappointing that both of the two systems we ordered have had to be replaced. Amazon does a GREAT job of getting the new one out right away so the girls barely noticed that they were... Read more

Just wanted to warn people. I just got this to replace my daughter's broken mobigo original and I happen to have a game storage cartridge for games purchased online and it does not work in this model. The licensed games appear to work from the previous version, however the touch and learn cartridge also does not work with this version. I contacted v-tech to let them know and after what I thought was a good conversation with someone in tech support who confirmed by trying the floor model they have in the tech center found the same problem was sending it on for further investigation. Unfortunately it appears they don't follow through with their word. I was supposed to be contacted back three days ago and they have both my phone number and e-mail and no contact. I called them myself today, was told they hadn't heard back from management and I'd get a call back today... surprise surprise no response. Anyone want to bet what they'll tell me if I call tomorrow? Don't matter anyway it's... Read more
