I'm not sure where my two children put their Nintendo 3DS chargers, but we seem to have to replace these quite often. This AmazonBasics charger is amongst the price leaders, but based on some of the reviews, seems like the 'safe' choice to ensure compatibility/durability. Considering how often they seem to lose their charger, maybe I shouldn't care about durability, but it's well made, and the connector fits with just the right amount of smugness.
