KIDS TABLET BUYING GUIDE
The screen time: This fact is not considered while purchasing a tablet but it is of utmost importance. This is so because if kids are going to use it for online learning then it is better to purchase a tablet with a large display, and one having large memory and decent battery life.
GMS certification: GMS certification ensures that you can freely use Google products on the tablet. You can use YouTube, download apps and games from Google Playstore, and all apps from Google.
The Display Size: In our discussion, we listed products that had a small display of 7 inches and as big as 10 inches. Depending on the screen time and the purpose for it is being put to you can decide the screen size you want to opt for.
IPS technology: IPS technology ensures that even if kids use the tablet for a longer duration of time, their eyes don’t pain. This prevents them from getting the problem of ‘dry eyes’ in the long run.
Parental controls and logins: By parental controls, we don’t want to do helicopter parenting but control over the websites or the videos that our kid can view can give us peace of mind.
Some tablets allow having different logins for kids and adults. They can be used to keep on the online activity of kids.
The protective ‘case’: All the tablets that we listed have a protective case surrounding them. This protects them from getting damaged. This is essential because the kids are going to handle the tablet and the damage is most probable. Generally, it is supplied as an add-on with the tablet.
Expandable memory: Some tablets have expandable memory whereas others don’t have it. It is better to have a tablet with expandable memory so that many things can be stored in it if needed.
Pre-installed apps: Some of the tablets contain pre-installed apps. Of course! You can always install themselves but these apps contain education stuff, games, puzzles, and lots more that save you from this burden. Look out for tablets with pre-installed apps.
Battery life and weight: lways remember that kids are going to use the tablet so the weight of the tablet should be pretty less. The best judge for this purpose would be the kids themselves. They should be freely able to carry it without dropping it.
The battery life should be decent and allow the tablet to operate for 7 to 8 hours after it is charged. This is particularly important if kids are going to use it for learning.
Connectivity: Some of the tablets offer connectivity through Bluetooth or Wi-fi. Depending on the usage you can choose a tablet with connectivity. Toddlers might not need it but a teenager might not like a tablet without this feature.
Call making and receiving facility: Some tablets have SIM slots and allow the user to use them as a phone and even connect to social media. This feature can be useful if you have different logins and an adult is also going to use the tablet.
We hope our review helps you in choosing the best for your kids. Any suggestions are always welcome in the comments section. Happy Surfing!
