Modern kids are really messy about gadgets. Since they make their first steps, they are learning how to operate with mobile devices. And due to statistics, an average European toddler spends more than a year at the screen of a tablet. In Canada and US, these numbers are even higher. So, it is crucial to choose a proper type of tablet to make kid's time at its screen safe.
Consider it a part of your parenting skills when you choose a gadget for your child. It is not a good idea to buy the first device that popped-up in Google ads when you search it. We have selected 5 criteria that may help you to get good tablets for toddlers for a reasonable price.
Kids got upset if the tablet turns off when they use it. But even the most powerful tablet not always has a durable battery. Thus, it is better to pay attention to battery capacity when you look for a tablet for your kid. As usual, the range of batteries capacity is from 5,000 mA/h and up to 10,000-12,000 mA/h. The last option can work for a couple of days without recharging. But it also costs more. Besides, it will be also a good idea to get a tablet with battery control function so as to turn it off manually from your device if the battery is low as not to drain it fully.
Children love opening dozens of apps on tablets simultaneously. And that leads to memory overloading. Besides, if you look for a learning tablet for kids, memory volume will be crucial. Keep in mind that there are two types of memory in a tablet. ROM or operative memory is used for running applications while RAM is intended to store some data on the device. Try to get a tablet where will be enough both RAM and ROM (at least 1-2 Gb of ROM and at least 16-32 Gb RAM).
These parameters are enough for toddlers, yet for older kids you may need a bit more.
The type of operation system on the tablet also plays role. That is not just about the comfort of use or your habits but also about the range of apps available for downloading. As usual, there is a competition between iOS and Android OS on the market, yet they are not an ultimate choice. You can get alternatives too (i.e. Windows OS). Evaluate what apps are available for free on PlayMarket and AppStore and do not forget to delete all payment information from them. Of course, if you do not want your curious kid to empty your credit card for some games.
The main concern when it comes to the choice of a tablet for toddlers is about the screen. The quality of screen, its resolution, and type impacts eyes health. When choosing a display, you need to consider the following parameters:
The first thing that is determined when choosing a screen is its size. Usually, for children models with screens of 7 and 10 inches are the best. When choosing, you should take into account the age of the kid. It will be uncomfortable for a toddler to work with a large screen, since such a tablet simply will not fit in his hands. But the student, on the contrary, will like to work with large tablets more.
As for the resolution, the higher it is, the better is for kid's eyes. Besides, pay attention to the type of matrix. Tablets with TN matrix are outdated. It is better to choose gadgets with TFT or IPS matrix types.
Even if you completely trust your child, the tablet is worth controlling. To do this, you should install special applications that will help you track the location of the child. Of course, many toddlers have GPS watches today, but they have their drawbacks. For example, they can be discharged at the wrong time, and many children can accidentally damage them. In this regard, applications for establishing geolocation, and, at the same time, applications for controlling what exactly a child installs on his gadget, will be much more convenient. The Kidsfinder app will help you solve these tasks.
So, the process of selection a tablet for a toddler is a balance between choosing the best gadget features and your budget. It is not worth buying as the first tablet for the headliner of the market, it is better to stay on a model with average characteristics, but a high-quality screen. And don't forget battery and parental controls. They must be installed on your baby's gadget.
