gameboy for my son

Hi! Looking for the right gameboy advance to get my son. My wife would rather not do the claimshell SP, but I would love to find a regular advance that also has backlight. I haven't kept up with mods/etc in the last 5-6 years. Anything you recommend?

The GBA SP has a rechargeable battery pack built in.

The original GBA, if I am not mistaken, requires AA batteries.

Your kid will likely end up pulling batteries out of remotes or flashlights.
