Best Tablets for Kids
Sometimes it can be so hard to purchase one of the best tablets for kids. There is such a wide assortment. So how do you know which one really is the best?
What Is a Tablet?
A tablet is usually considered to be any device that has a touch screen. Their flexibility is incredible. A tablet can be used for browsing the internet, checking email, downloading and reading books (perfect for schoolwork), playing games, and so much more. For people with small hands, a tablet is ideal for their needs as it can be held with two hands. Pertaining to size, they usually measure out between the size of a smartphone and a laptop.
According to Statista, the tablet market is predicted to be down next year but still maintain a very respectable trend. But with an estimated 40.5 million kids’ tablets being shipped globally in 2021, I would say now is the time to look into the best tablets for kids.
So, let’s get to it. According to WIRED’s research, they listed their choices below.
Apple iPad Mini
Chosen as the best overall because of having an outstanding balance between size, weight, and content. Apple iPad Mini offers a user-friendly environment for apps, games, and educational content. With the latest A15 bionic chip, the tablet supports the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Choose from a wide variety of cases to protect the tablet. Downsides of the Apple iPad Mini are price and the lack of as many parental controls as other tablets.
Apple iPod Touch
The iPod Touch is great for youngsters because it was designed to conform to their smaller hands. Technically, the Apple iPod Touch is not actually a tablet. The iOS is easily manageable by the whole family to operate. The included Apple Arcade has lots of games to choose from. Now, you don’t have to loan your phone to your kids. WIRED explained that the Touch could be loaded with kids’ podcasts and connected by a Bluetooth speaker.
Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition
Considered the best budget tablet for your young ones, the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition is more of a bargain than the iPad. Amazon Fire HD has a vivid 8-inch display, dual cameras, and a wide variety of child-friendly content. The tablet has been built to be sturdy and comes with a 2-year warranty and extended parental controls.
HP Chromebook x360 14
This tablet has been voted as the best tablet for use in school. According to the writer for WIRED, he accidentally dropped his Chromebook on the floor. Luckily, the tablet withstood the shock when it hit the floor. Another benefit is that there is not a lot of malicious software targeting the HP Chromebook x360 14.
Like the iPod Touch, it also is not technically a tablet. But that’s okay. Your kids will get dual accessibility for school usage or playing web-based games.
Facebook Portal (2019)
Do your children have an aversion to listening to video calls? The Facebook Portal is so flexible that it can keep your kid’s attention for more extended periods. With a 10″ screen, the Facebook Portal is simple and fun to use. Features include a Smart Camera, AR masks, and a picture-perfect photo frame for displaying favorite memories.
Amazon Kindle Kids Edition (2019, 10th Generation)
Does your child like to read? The Amazon Kindle is picked as the best tablet for reading. Two features that most parents are interested in are the length of the warranty and the content. The Amazon Kindle tablet for kids has a two-year warranty, worry-free replacement guarantee, an attractive case, and a year’s subscription to the Amazon’s Kids+ platform, which sorts through Amazon’s massive selection to present your kid with age-appropriate characters and themes.
The Kindle for Kids also comes with Bluetooth for Audible books and has content in Spanish.
Concluding Words
This is definitely the best time for choosing the best tablets for kids. Take your time, do your research, and pay attention to options like durability, ease of use, and safety. Don’t ignore, however, the information presented on the warranties and parental controls.
