There are many options for keeping kids busy and entertained. When in the home, it is easy for children to have fun, but it is not always as easy to keep them busy when out of the home. For example, if you are going on a long car journey, such as a road trip vacation, the kids will be sat in the back of the car for extended periods. With that in mind, here are the best handheld consoles to keep the kids busy.
Nintendo Switch OLED
The Nintendo Switch has long been the handheld console of choice for serious gamers and the Nintendo Switch OLED is the latest edition of the device. The Nintendo Switch OLED comes with the best screen ever seen on the handheld console and the 7-inch screen boasts vivid colours that brings games to life. The enhanced audio system makes games sound fantastic, and the 64 GB internal storage means games can be saved to the internal storage of the device. The internal storage allows you to install games and not need an internet connection to play the games, which is perfect when travelling. If you are planning a road trip in the United Kingdom for example, you would ensure you have an international driving permit UK for peace of mind but should not forget the smaller details, such as packing handheld consoles for the kids. The Nintendo Switch OLED is the most expensive model available but the best.
LeapFrog RockIt Twist
Depending on the age of your kids, you could opt to give them the LeapFrog RockIt Twist to keep them entertained on a long car journey. This handheld gaming console is aimed at children under the age of 6 and it features a selection of games that are chosen by turning the Twist. The console comes with large buttons, and this makes it easier for younger kids, with smaller hands to use the device. There is a built-in headphone jack and that means your kids can play for hours without disturbing you on road trips.
Sharper Image 300
Many of the branded handheld consoles tend to be expensive and that is where the Sharper Image 300 comes into play. It may not have the sleek design of the Nintendo Switch OLED, but it does come preloaded with 300 games. The Sharper Image 300 is a battery-operated console and there are games to suit all tastes, from racing and sports to platform and adventure.
Nintendo 3DS XL
The Switch may get most of the attention but the Nintendo 3DS XL is a wonderful alternative in the Nintendo handheld console family. The dual-screen portable system is not available to buy new, but you will find many available for sale on auction and second hand websites. Offering 256MB of RAM and a slot for microSD cards, there is plenty of storage for games on the device. Thanks to the back compatibility of the Nintendo 3DS XL, there is a huge library of games to keep the kids busy.
