Cheap tablets for kids to use

[niko]

I thought Id ask because your suggestions before on a cheap android tablet for myself were great. I'm looking for something for my kids to take to travel. Book reading, videos, some cheap games pretty much. They won't be expected to last a long time, really just mostly for Japan trip, etc

So what can I get cheap and passable?

Or buy them books to read.

I would just go to Amazon or Newegg and set your price and see the reviews.


This one is $50 bucks

You can read on the tablet. When you go on vacation, do you bring piles of books? One of them is 4, he can't read novels.

Not with that attitude he can't.

I know we got niece some kid tablet. She's just about 4, she's had it at least a year, maybe two. It had a kid interface, but could go straight to a basic android face. But it was designed to take a bit of a beating. And it has held up. I'll check the name next time I'm there.

That said, she still uses my mother's Nook more than that thing. And I think a Nook goes 99 these days.

Best Buy has their own line under the Insignia name it's Android based. My sister bought one for her kid and I have to admit it's OK for the money. I think it was less than a hundred bucks and it's about the size of an iPad

Remember when kids could color in a coloring book? Or use their imaginations?

Ppl complained when kids started carrying comic books, Walkmans, Gameboys, mp3 players, then cell phones, iPods, and now tablets.
It's just the way it works. As technology improves, what kids use for entertainment evolves.
When i was a kid, I could go an entire saturday just watching tv or riding my bike.
Now kids need to surf the web, watch YouTube vids, text their friends, etc., to get the same level of enjoyment.
