Post subject:  Which tablet for a young child?

My friend wants to get a large screen tablet for her young son so she doesn't have to share her iPad any more.

It seems the Amazon fire starts around £50 otherwise you're paying over £100. She'll need to be able to do child restrictions but she's not interested in the Vtech Innotabs as they don't have access to YouTube and he's a big Youtube addict (he's 2 fgs lol)

Any suggestions? I only have experience of the iPad, Amazon Fire HD and a brief look at the poor Blackberry playbook offering a few years ago.

If they are under £100 that's a bonus.

Thanks

My little sister has a kindle fire thing and loves it. She's 10 and uses it for iplayer, minecraft, you tube and things like that.

Yeah I was given one from work. It's OK.

I have recommended the Fire to her

How old / small is the child? Amazon Fire is now available in a "Kidz" model, with big bumper edges for extra protection.

Certainly nothing from VTech. :-)

FWIW, the iPads at my wife's primary school seem to be surviving. More robust that you think, so you may not need to look for a specific child friendly device.

Mightydeals and Game.co.uk have sales on for refurb iPads of every description. Or there's the Hudl from Tesco.

And currently they are under £40 due to Cybermonday

I bought my kids a Kindle Fire Kids for Xmas when it was on offer for £79. It includes a 2 year no quibble replacement and is kid safe out of the box.

Alternatively if you have a standard Android tablet then the Famigo app is a pretty good way of restricting it.
