Which tablet do you have for your kids?
My son has an iPod touch - it's the size of a phone, so it's not tablet sized. I like that it's portable (more so than a larger tablet) and that's it's Apple so it works well with apps.

Re: Which tablet do you have for your kids?
My kids both have ipod touches. They like that they are similar to smart phones. Its also convenient that they have a locator through apple for when they misplace them.

Re: Which tablet do you have for your kids?
A samsung galaxy tab
I like that it was cheap.
I don't really care about anything else.
She already broke one. She drops it all the time.
Gets juice and sticky fingers all over it.
I wasn't spending upwards of $600 on an ipad for her to watch you tube videos of toys being unwrapped.

Same here. I tend towards the cheaper devices that still have good reviews on Amazon. DC don't know the difference, and they work exactly the same as the $$ devices.
When I first started getting devices, I thought "bigger is better", so I got a 7" and a 10". The 10" tablet was hardly used. DC and DW preferred the 7". Since they are more portable, cheaper, and everyone likes them better, that's the size I get from now on.
The tablets are getting less usage now that everyone has a smart phone, so that's also something to think about. DD has a "phone" without cell service, so it's essentially a tiny tablet. You can get unactivated phones for under $50.

We have a lot of old things.
They prefer my father in law's old broken iPhone. I may get them iPod touches for Christmas.

Re: Which tablet do you have for your kids?
My kids both have older iphones (with out cell service) and tablets. My older DS is 7 and has a ipad mini, which I like for the find my iphone app and I think Itunes has alot of apps vs the amazon kindle.
However you have limited space for movies (dep on how many gigs are available)
My younger DS is 3 and we purchased a Amazon Kindle recently for $30. I like the Kindle bc you can add downloaded movies via mini SD card and it has 2 profiles one for me and one for DS which allows you to put restrictions on it.

Re: Which tablet do you have for your kids?
We have the Kindle Fire. I love that it comes with 1 year free of the Kindle Free time for kids which is unlimited apps, books, videos and not worry about DD accidentally purchasing anything. I love the kid proof case and 2 year no questions asked replacement warranty.
I dislike the memory. You can buy a micro SD card to expand it, but if the kindle gets too full memory it will stop the WIFI signal.

We just bought 2 iPads for the family to share before we took a road trip. They always played with my really old one and finally broke the screen.

That's what DS is using now but I don't like the size for his eyes.
