This product has just started being flogged in Australia, and no adaption has been made for lefties, we've tried the leapfrog clickstart quite successfully, but we were really looking forward to using that writing pad. Such a huge disappointment. I can't believe I'm so #$@$d off about a toy! Just found this blog after getting my sorry no, but I’ll let our “relevant business unit know” response to my email.

Thoughtless-yes, poorly planning-yes. But I don't see it as a discriminatory issue. <abbr><em>Gina’s last blog post..<a href="http://rabbitrealm.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-resolutions.html" rel="nofollow">My Resolutions</a></abbr></em> I do think this is a glaring bit of shortsightedness on the part of Fisher-Price, but I don’t think it’s discrimination.

LeapFrog makes right handed toys too. I found a way around the Leapster2, but this computer you are talking about seems odd that it isnt for either hand. At least LeapFrog's clickstart computer can be changed left or right handed. I am in the SAME boat at you are. LeapFrog makes right handed toys too.

My husband is left handed and there are plenty of people who are left handed-it would make sense that someone should have considered that. I would also recommend writing a letter- maybe they will send you something for your frustration!

It's great that you called though, because some people would just leave it at that and go about their business! But these people needed to know what was up!

I myself being a leftie thought of the left handed children aspect. That is terrible that the company didn't consider all childrens needs. I typed in the name of the product and I wanted to see if it could be interchangeable from left to right but it cant, then I found this blog that simply and easily answered my question. I hope they fix this problem soon because it looks like a great product for children. I thought of this when I just saw the ad for this product on telivision.

That IS descrimination. I know it's possible to make things compatible because VTech did with the Vsmile controller. It can be shifted to accommodate right or left handers. I would be writing a pretty strongly worded letter as well. You’re right. That IS descrimination. I know it’s possible to make things compatible because VTech did with the Vsmile controller.
