Question

As a potty-training prize, we promised our 3-year-old a digital camera. After much discussion and searching we could not find a definitive winner.
We initially bought a Polaroid Pixie because it does 3 mega-pixel pictures. The thing rattled out of the box, burned through batteries, ruined our SD card, and took some pretty good pictures. We returned that one.
Now we have the V-Tech Kidizoom. The pictures don't hold a candle to the Pixie, but the batteries have held out and the kid figured out how to switch to video mode.
The in-laws think a real camera is the way to go, but after watching the new camera take a few tumbles, I'm not sure we should go that route.
Anyone have any good experiences with a kid's digital camera?

My sister got this one for her daughter:

...and she's pretty tough on her toys (my niece, not my sister...well, not anymore, that is). It's a cute, simple little device, and it seems to be tough as nails. Problem is, the in-camera images as viewed via the LCD are terrible. I haven't seen any downloaded images.
The two-handed grip and the two-eye viewfinder are nice touches, IMO.

I'm confused.
Your little sister can't possibly have a kid. She's your LITTLE sister! I've met her.
I guess I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I have a kid.
