Tablets for Kids


Have you witnessed your child using your tablet again? It may be because he wants to play his favorite videogame or wants to watch his favorite movie online. Children nowadays are much more interested in technological devices than children 20-30 years ago. Buying your child tablet of his own would be a wise decision. There are various famous tablets such as Leapad, Innopad, Kurio and Nabi 2 which have been specifically designed for children. These tablets offer good parental control options, well padded casing, and multiple user accounts for sharing along with educational applications and are available at affordable prices. Whenever you decide to buy, you need to keep few important factors in mind; the following list will help you in identifying those factors.

Price
Price is one of the most important factors to keep in mind. Tablets range from $100 up to $400; you need to see what specific features you need for your child’s tablet and decide accordingly.

Parental control system
Most adults are worried about the content their children will be viewing with a tablet in their hand. It would not be possible to keep an eye on them 24/7; uncensored content such as porn sites are readily available on the internet. Tablets for children come with specific easy-to-use built-in parental control systems. Good parental control systems allow you to restrict the content your child views along with the time he/she can use the tablet.

Feel
You need to consider the size, weight and button placements of the tablet .Ask your kids to test run various tablets before they decide which one to purchase. Large tablets are difficult to use and your child may soon become bored with the newly purchased tablet if it has an uncomfortable feel.

Storage
With a good storage capacity your child will never be bored. Most average-priced tablets have a storage capacity of about 4 GB, but some expensive ones have about 8 GB built-in storage. You can also use a Micro SD card slot for storage. Tablets with good storage systems allow children to save their favorite cartoons or listen to chosen list of downloaded songs.

Educational games
Tablets can be used for your child’s educational and intellectual growth as well. Most tablets have a variety of stylus writing and drawing games installed. There are several e-books available along with a dictionary in the interactive library application. Subject-specific games are also available which can be adjusted according to the child’s grade level.

Battery life
It is important to check out the battery life of your chosen tablet before you purchase it. Long battery life means the tablet has better quality and sustainability; on the other hand, short battery life means the product has inferior quality and can create problems in future.
