Like most children, my toddler loves to play, learn, and copy everything that we do. He wants to eat from his dad's plate, read books next to his sister, build blocks with his brother, then grab my phone and tap on the screen just to be cute. His curiosity never stops and he just wants to be part of the action, no matter what. It's so fun to watch him explore and try new things, but we also have to set age-appropriate boundaries for kids, especially with technology.

A little while ago, my husband decided to start a new family tradition: Friday Night Video Games! After dinner, we curl up in the living room to beat the bad guys, find the treasure, and make lasting memories together. Just imagine my little guy's frustration when he doesn't get a turn, or someone pries the controller out of his hand. He gets a sad, disappointed look in his big, blue eyes that seems to say, "No fair... when can I play with the big kids?"
Believe me, we tried EVERYTHING to distract him — an endless stack of toys and books, going for a walk, playing outside, eating a snack... but nothing worked. I was nearly ready to press quit and give up on my quest, but then I found this adorable toy for my son VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™! I showed my kids and they unanimously agreed, OMG—Baby needs his own gaming chair! With the ease of Amazon shopping and fast, free shipping, the brand-new toy came straight to my doorstep with plenty of time for the next game night.
 VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ is now available from Amazon (MSRP $49.99). |
On Friday night, we opened the box to reveal the VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ for little gamers. It is brightly colored and perfectly sized for toddlers and preschoolers. Assembly was a snap (no screwdriver required)! No kidding, my 9-year-old put the pieces together by herself before I even had a chance to grab the instruction manual. And since the tablet comes preloaded with 2 AA batteries for demo purposes, my son was immediately enjoying the game (I recommend putting in fresh batteries for regular use). It was all ready to go in less than 15 minutes — now, let's play!
 VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ is a cute little gaming station for toddlers and preschoolers (18 months - 4 years and up) |
This learning-packed gaming chair features a child-sized swivel seat with storage area, gaming tablet with joystick, and pretend pair of headphones. The tablet is detachable for on-the-go entertainment and the chair includes a tray that works for story time, snack time, and quiet time. It's designed to "level up" depending on your child's age with four games and two difficulty modes. As an added bonus: there's no Wi-Fi required, and no apps to download!
 The interactive tablet has cute songs, educational games, 26 letters, and 10 musical piano keys — plus the ability to toggle the sound off / low / high depending on your environment (yay!) |
My son is a bit too young for actual video games or screen time, but VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ provides entertainment for the whole family, as we watch our little gamer learn and grow. We finally have an age-appropriate gaming toy for the baby to enjoy on Friday nights. Then we sit together to play the learning games with him, learning and having fun, too! Now that's EPIC parenting... for the WIN!
 First you gotta press all the buttons, try on the headphones, play piano, swivel back and forth in the chair, and learn animal sounds. That was fun, let's do it again! |
VTech Level Up Gaming Chair™ is available now on Amazon, Walmart, and Target (MSRP $49.99).
