We are so excited to have this to help our son learn. He turns one in a week and thought this would be the perfect item to help him to start talking and learning. I love how the AILA plays automatically when I turn it on, and how the characters engage with our son to get his attention. Can’t wait to see him learn and grow with this item. We got the suction cup and side protector that looks like ears. With those items it makes it look like a cute green animal, and adds a little more protection. I wish bestbuy would sell the screen protector films for it, maybe they will in the future? For now we will have it suctioned on our counter in front of the high chair (in view but out of reach) because I want to make sure he doesn’t break the screen. We are very happy with this purchase.

it's only been 2 days and I've already seen improvements with my child's communication ability and recognition of concepts such as shapes and colors. we were just walking our dog and she recognized the stop sign as being red -- she had learned that earlier today. I can see that her engagement has grown and her attention to aila is unbelievable. I used to give her my phone but this device has changed the game

This thing is amazing I purchased this for my 2yeaf Ik for his birthday. We’ve had it for 3 or ; days now. Tho tablet is so perfect for my lil one. He absolutely loves it and I already see improvement with his abcs and counting it’s incredible and it’s perfect for the car it fits right in his lap and doesn’t have to hold it. Only down fall is the battery will literally only last a lil longer than 1.5 hours I’ve been timing it it’s really frustrating it doesn’t hold a charge. It pretty much has to stay plugged in. If only the battery was actually worth more than 3-6 hours would have gave 5 stars but battery is horrible

Good idea, but needs work. My 3 year old hates it because it doesn't have options to watch different things, it only plays what it wants basically. And I can't keep my 1 year old interested either. She just like to push the buttons. If I put it where she can't reach she will watch for a little while. It does have good content, I just wish it had more options. The best thing they could do is add options to choose which videos to watch, and possibly add a child lock button so the smaller ones aren't constantly turning it off and on.

The AILA Sit & Play was an instant hit with my 2 yrs old nephew. Got it for his 2nd birthday. Mom & Dad were super happy how educational and fun the content was. They said the 15 mins learning session was great for starting their day. Great stories and love the sing-alongs. The whole family sings along.

This is a nice learning tool. I have it attached to a toddlers desk with velcro. Otherwise it would probably be broken by now. It engages my now 20 month old. Shes learned from it. I think shell get into it even more the older she gets. It goes over abcs, numbers, colors, words, reads stories and sings songs. The downside is the battery life. It gets a couple of hours of use but then you have to keep recharging it. So its best if you can keep it plugged into a wall without your baby getting access to the outlet. To be honest, i cant expect much more than that as far as battery life goes. You can view the lessons on youtube. Its a good learning tool overall.

Bought as a gift for my godson on his 1 year birthday and while he hasn't had much time with it he's loving it so far. I can't speak to the learning capabilities of it just yet, but what I can say is whenever it's on and in front of his he's completely entranced by it.
Though I do have some complaints about it:
1. My godson likes to hold it in portrait mode, I assume this is because he sees all the adults around him hold their phones like that.
2. He likes to default to the screen being upside down as it rests easier on the floor that way handled by a toddler. Could be easily fixed with screen rotation, but I don't see that as an option anywhere.
3. He likes to touch the screen and this often leads to him swiping down the android settings screen, we've yet to find a way to fully lock the screen from these inputs.
4. The app is fairly clunky and it would be nicer to have a better control of the device through it.
Ultimately, it's seems really good and I look forward to see how it works for my godson.

great results with AILA! saw the reviews on Amazon and I knew he needed this to jump start his communication skills. Now he comes to me and says "Dada - Blueeee!" he's recognizing colors in his environment at 1.5 years old. amazing!!

Yes we’re looked around for a tablet and this has been fun for our daughter who is 1 and mom and dad. The feature that allows you send pictures or videos to them is awesome our daughter loves when those you got mail pictures pop up. I would recommend this to everyone.

This has really helped my 1 & half-year-old. She's been trying to imitate what she see and it's helping her pronounce her ABC's. We're still new to it and we're very excited to see how far it will take her speech.

My child is stubborn when it’s comes to learning and development but this tablet really helps because she can’t go to other apps like on her iPad and she loves animals so it’s really helping with her word understanding and speach

I bought this for my sons and they love it. My wife and I teach them everything that this provides but the visuals help with the learning process. The AILA was very easy to set up so that is a huge plus.

Great tablet for toddlers to learn from

This is a great learning resource for toddlers who are not quite ready for preschool but have a desire to learn. My daughter enjoys the characters and it holds her attention for at least 15 minute increments and it can suction to her high chair of the base is attached (purchased separately). I recommend this if you want something to keep younger kids entertained and not getting random YouTube videos or commercials. I wish the tablet could be used for other things and download apps but I haven’t determined for certain if it’s possible.
