It's 2017 now and as
consumers want more from tablet manufacturers, the consumer electronics market
bubbles into new trends on all sides. One in particular is the kids tablet
trend and even though you may think that there's plenty to go around, this side
of the market is actually scarce. We understand that most parents want the best
parental control features on the tablet that they'll let their children use,
and they'll even prefer it if it has added extras on it also. So we've scoured
around to find any noteworthy tablets for kids and see if they give the best
deals that any parent would want.
Here are 5 of what we
think is the best tablets for kids in the market today:
1.
LeapFrog
Epic - Designed for
children below 5 years old, this chunky tablet offers a very simple and robust
design Android-powered UI. Its lifespan is somewhere between 2 - 4 years which
should be enough to entertain a child for a certain period of time, so don't
expect it to perform beyond its technical capacity. You can download in-house
apps from LeapFrog; however, they are quite expensive, and apps from Amazon
Appstore is much cheaper which works with this device pretty well. The
resolution has low quality with only 1024 x 600 dpi despite having a 7-inch
screen display and the colors are also muted. One advantage the LeapFrog Epic
has is that it allows you to create multiple user profiles for different kids
(in case you have more than one user for it). Its key features include a chunky
design, 5 hours of battery life, simple UI, LeapFrog apps are educational which
is helpful to kids and it costs $154.7.
2.
Amazon
Fire HD 6 Kids Edition - Chose from
either pink or blue chunky case for the Amazon Fire HD 6 Kids Edition with
unlimited Fire For Kids content store, high quality and performance as well as
its one-of-a-kind accidental damage warranty guaranteed for 2 years! Amazon
included most of the features and performance package in this Kids Edition
tablet which is probably why there is an additional premium payments for
accessing Amazon Store; however, the trade-in is absolutely worth it! The
6-inch 1280 x 800 IPS display has high pixel quality, but since it's lesser
than the standard 7 inches android tablets, reading smaller text was somewhat
difficult. Battery life has a decent 8-hour run to it, but it will be cut in
half if you play games on it most of the time. You will have full access to fun
and child-friendly content in the Fire for Kids app which is great for their
appetite for learning.
3.
Amazon
Fire HD 8 Kids Edition - If you're not
happy with the Fire HD 6 Kids Edition from Amazon, then you can get the Fire HD
8 Kids Edition. Apart from the longer battery life which will last for 12
hours, the bigger 8-inch display and 32GB internal storage; you will also get a
free 1 year subscription to the Fire For Kids service which includes lots of TV
shows and books that are specifically for children. With a sturdy bumbper case
and other features its got, you'll certainly be satisfied with what you'll get
for your money.
4.
Kurio
Smart - The Kurio
Smart has similar design with Lenovo's Yoga Tablet 2 which has a detachable
keyboard. But while the design is impressive it's features, however, are just
basic. The makers of the Kurio Smart has ditched any USB port and preferred to
use instead the HDMI port, which will allow kids to connect it with a bigger
screen for any homework tasks; still its 1280 x 800 display will not be enough
for multitasking. It isn't particularly powerful either. Its Inter Atom
quad-core processor is like paper tiger, it has got all good specs on paper but
does poorly in actual performance. A maximum of 3 or 4 tabs could be opened
when you use it to browse sites on the web and gaming is good, just don't play
games that require your tab to perform higher than its normal rate. You can use
the Kurio Smart for 6 - 7 hours at a single charge as well.
