EMERYVILLE, Calif.,
Dec. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:LF), the leader in
innovative learning solutions for children, today announced that
LeapFrog Epic, its first ever Android-based kids tablet, has been
rated one of the top kids tablets for 2015 by Consumer Reports.
Consumer Reports tested thousands of products for their annual
holiday gift guide, including 15 different tablets for kids.
Consumer Reports analysts put the tablets through a series of
tests, checking for responsiveness, screen quality, battery life
and durability. Testers recommended the LeapFrog Epic tablet for
its ground-breaking home screen which allows children to
personalize, create, and interact with its innovative features. The
LeapFrog Epic tablet was also applauded for providing children with
a world of discovery that grows and changes as they do. Since
durability and battery life are also critical for parents, testers
replicated falls using a special tumbler machine and tested for
continuous hours of play. Epic was one of the few tablets to
survive the tumbler test, a testament to its kid tough design, and
got high recommendations for its nearly eleven hour battery
life.
"We're extremely proud that the LeapFrog Epic was chosen as one
of Consumer Reports' top kids tablets for 2015," said John Barbour, LeapFrog CEO. "The home screen
experience and access to top educational content sets LeapFrog Epic
apart. We're thrilled that Consumer Reports has recognized the hard
work and diligence that goes into developing our products for kids
from the ground up to deliver amazingly robust products that
provide life changing learning and development experiences for
children."
LeapFrog Epic Availability
The LeapFrog Epic tablet (MSRP $139.99, for children three to nine years old) is
available online and at major retail locations in the consumer
electronics aisle.
