nabi - nabi 2 - 8GB

Tablet is great for kids. I dislike not being able to use google play market, they really screwed everyone over on that one. But what you can and are able to use is for is ok. My kids love it but we have to go every where with the charger. I have an iPad 3 witch I use more then they do the Nabi and I charge the iPad every 3 to 4 days. I mean come on what is up with any android device and it not being able to hold a good charge?

My boys ages 2 and 7 absolutely love their nabi 2's and I couldnt be happier that I purchased them. My older son just has the regular one and my 2 year old has the disney special edition which seems to be geared more toward the little ones cause my 7 year old isnt interested in anything preloaded on it. It has been keeping them very busy and both the boys are already learning so much from them. The only problems I have with it is the chargers are really chincy and they arnt usb so you can only plug them into a wall outlet. Also I am not happy that my 7 yr olds regular nabi 2 got a update that includes the google play store and other google apps while the special edition disney one doesnt receive that update yet. They said to expect it in early 2014 so hopefully it wont be to long.

Ok, so I am not really tablet experienced, but I bought two of these tablets for my 4 yr old and my 7 yr old based on other people's reviews. They love these, eventually, we had to buy new replacement covers just to keep them separated. They were a little complicated at first as there isn't a booklet explaining set up. After tinkering with it for a few minutes, it became easier to figure out how to give each child access to their own stuff. I did have to download the Amazon App Store to download games and programs that were not offered in the Nabi Store. I figured out later and after a few surprise "digital charges" from Amazon that unless you specify use a password on the Amazon App store that the kids were able to access the account and buy upgrades, $10 lesson learned, I was lucky. The Nabi apps store still required the parental password for purchases Overall, I love these little tablets, it is nice to know that the kids can only play games or search the web for the things I have authorized. It's a great alternative to giving them a regular tablet. I bought them on sale and feel that I got a great value for the price at Christmas. The kids were ecstatic to see these and have been very happy. Makes for nice road trips and pleasant quiet times when one is working on homework. If you are looking for a tablet to give to a small child. They were built for children and have held up to their abilities. I am very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend these tablets to anyone who is shopping for a kid-friendly device!

My daughter has no problems navigating and using it. I love that it is completely kid friendly. .Even if she downloads a free app, she cannot play it unless i authorize it to be played in nabi mode. There is a parent mode that gives you access to everything a regular tablet can do. I love that it has timers for all the different apps (or you can group the apps and set a time limit) It also has a reward based system that your child can earn more time to play such apps. The battery does not last long in sleep mode; less than a day. I turn it completely off when not using it and it will last for 2 days of play; approx 3 full hours of play. Otherwise, we love it so much I am seriously thinking about buying the Nabi Jr. for my younger daughter

I purchased this online on Thanksgiving for $139. I figured at this price I could afford to take the hit if my daughter or I didn't like it. Our house is an apple centric home but I've had android phones and a Nexus 7. As far as specs go, this device is awesome. I can't understand people complaining about the screen. Sure it's not a retina display but come on its for a kid. It's more than good enough for games, apps and movies. I added the Amazon App Store so that helped increase the number of apps. Through Amazon I was able to install Netflix which works great. They just need to give official access to the Google Play store. The educational aspect of this device is an added bonus. The educational apps seemed well thought out. Also, one of the main reasons I purchased this was the ability to control which web sites are available. My main gripe is the inability to add digital copies of movies. I know this is not Nabi's fault but an issue with android devices. Nevertheless it's still a minus in my book. Hopefully the Nabi will mature to increase its features. Overall, I would recommend this tablet even at $200. If you expect an iPad then fork over the extra $200 and hope your child doesn't crack the screen.

The nabi 2 is a great tablet for kids. It's fairly easy for my 4 year old who has no prior experience with computer devices. I can see that as he grows and learns the nabi will still be relevant in a couple years. It is a great learning tool as well as for entertainment. The only negatives I see so far is the battery life is a little short and it seems to take a considerable amount of time to recharge. There are also some programs I would like to download for my kid but are not compatible with the nabi. overall I think it is a great device and worth the price.

My daughter loves this tablet. I felt it was a better choice than the other tablets offered for younger kids. She is three and has no problems navigating through and running various applications. Skip the one that's advertised for 2-4 year olds. They will pick this one up and learn how to use it and this one will be good for years as you can download apps for the appropriate age. Parent mode is very similar to a Google nexus. Kid mode blocks out any ads and non kid friendly content.

Overall, the Nabi 2 is a great value for the price you pay! It is durable with the included bumper for drops you KNOW will happen. I like that you can add memory with the micro sd slot and it even has a micro hdmi output! I would've liked to see a cover for all these inputs incorporated into the bumper to keep dust and small spills out but so far we haven't had a problem with that. The screen's viewing angle does leave something to be desired. If myself or my son are holding it, it's difficult for the other to see what's on-screen unless you're directly in front of it. A kick-stand on the back would be a nice extra feature to set up on a table in front of us, but you don't see this on many tablets period. Battery life is fair, especially if you remember to power-down the tablet for extended times between uses. Expect the battery to last a day or two with average, always-on use. I like the included learning games, chore-list and e-books so my son isn't just using it to slice fruit or watch cartoons! Again, overall, it's a solid buy for a child to get them a multi-function hand-held device. You are able to store movies and music on it, download books and apps and it will continue to grow with your child for a number of years to come!
