The Best Tablets For Kids

Kids today quickly become digital geniuses, and as parents try to balance screen time with the educational benefits of allowing little ones to explore enriching apps and games, you may be in the market for a tablet that is designed with your little one in mind. First, it needs to be durable because kids are, well … kids. Next you’ll want to make sure your child is safe online and that the tablet already has parental controls that allow you to determine how much screen time kids can have each day, as well as what they are looking at online. You may love your iPad but if it’s not what you want for your child — no worries, you have plenty of great options.

If you’re looking for a tablet that gives you the best balance of kid-friendly entertainment and education, here are 8 tablets that are perfect for little kids.

SoyMomo Tablet Pro 2.0

Kids can discover the digital world in a safe and secure way with Tablet Pro 2.0 because of its advanced artificial intelligence that detects inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and explicit words and lyrics. All of these features let your child safely learn and explore. Also, there is a school mode that quiets and turns off certain apps. Parents can download the SoyMomo App and have full control over what websites or apps kids use and when and for how long they use their tablet.

BUY IT: SoyMomo, $149.99

Amazon Fire Kids

Another great option for kid’s tablets, the Amazon Fire Kids 10 comes with a 10-inch screen and a kid-proof case that comes in tons of fun colors. Plus the tablet includes a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ which offers thousands of ad-free books, games, videos, apps, and Alexa skills from brands like National Geographic, Marvel, and LEGO. Also, kids can stay connected with you by sending announcements and making voice and video calls over Wi-Fi to contacts you approve of with an Alexa-enabled device or the Alexa app.

LeapFrog LeapPad Academy Kids’ Learning Tablet

This kid-friendly tablet was designed with Android and packed with 20 educational apps and creativity tools.

Reviews say this is a tough tablet and can withstand a lot of kid behavior.

PBS Playtime Pad

If you want a small tablet for your toddler that is all about education, look no further.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite

If you want a tablet for older kids and tweens, this one is a great option. The Galaxy tab doesn’t have that little kid look, so big kids will approve, but it still has great parental controls.
