Best Tablets for Kids Dragon Touch

The Dragon Touch 7″ is a fantastic tablet for children, both resistant and packing enough oomph to run stuff smoothly. It comes with Zoodles pre-installed, a feature that ensures parents have a degree of control over which sites the kids can visit on the internet (gotta keep them away from the shady corners). It sports a Quad Core CPU to ensure it’s powerful yet portable, and performs well whether the kids want to watch their favorite TV shows or movies, or play some mobile games. What’s more, it comes with some fun and educational games pre-installed meant to give your boy or girl just the right amount of challenge for his or her age.

Another detail that is really cool is its kid-proof durable case, strong enough to withstand the hits and drops that come naturally when kids are playing, but that is also light enough that parents won’t have trouble lugging it around in their purses or bags for the moment when the kids get bored. Finally, this beauty comes in a variety of colors so you can choose between blue, red or pink among many others.

Fire HD Kids Edition Tablet

Best Tablets for Kids Fire HD 6 Kids

 

Amazon’s Fire series is truly at their best when it comes to their tablets for children, and the Fire Kids Edition is our favorite tablet they’ve done so far. The tablet comes with 1 year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited and a Kid-Proof Case meant to protect the Fire HD Kids Edition from drops and hits.

On a technical side of things, this tablet is as good as any adult tablet, featuring a 7″ IPS display for the best image quality, and two separate cameras in the front and rear. Furthermore, you can add storage to the tablet adding a microSD card for up to 128 GB, which is more than what most kids know what to do with. This tablet is not only for little kids and toddlers, but up to preteens will end satisfied with what it does combining power, storage, and image quality along with access to some of the best and most popular apps in the market. This is a much better product for tech-oriented families and geek parents, and while it costs more, you will be sure you are getting a quality product.

Regardless, the best part is that Amazon themselves are aware this is a product meant for kids, and when kids are at play, no matter how much security the adults build, accidents are going to happen. That is why they offer a 2-year worry-free guarantee with the tablet that covers anything that could possibly happen to it – the user only needs to return the tablet and Amazon will replace it for free, no questions asked. This even includes electrical damage or mechanical breakdowns.

Contixo Kids Tablet

The latest version of the popular Contixo Kids Tablet is here, with some of the most robust touch panel systems to ensure it works for a long time. This tablet is built for connectivity, and to allow other devices such as headphones, speakers, and keyboards function when paired for more and better control. It comes with a kid-proof case and 3-layer screen protectors, which are light but sturdy, made of non-toxic soft silicone material that is both eco-friendly and completely harmless.

The Contixo Kids has some 20 games and apps for kids pre-installed that are age appropriate and can be used straight out of the box so no matter what’s your computer level with technology, you will know your kid is in safe hands. Furthermore, it has access to Google’s Play Store like any Android device where you will be able to get new games and apps, but which you can lock your kid out of so nothing gets downloaded without your explicit approval. Its Kids Place Parental Control will ensure you don’t have to worry about unfriendly content on the Internet or perform any activity you do not approve of, which is a valued feature among some parents.

Regardless, outside of its kid-friendly features, it’s a poweful table with a Quad Core 4x 1.5GHz A7 processor and 8GB storage built for speed, and running Android 4.4 KitKat system, one of Google’s best and most stable Android OS’s yet. This tablet is even very decent at multi-tasking, and can display things on the screen while outputting movies or TV series on a separate, high-definition TV, for example, so parents and kids can both get use out of it simultaneously. Finally, this tablet has a 30 day warranty where customers can return it if after trying it out they are unhappy with it. Not a bad deal at all. You can see it in more colors such as pink, blue, and purple among others.
