    Got this for my daughter on sale. Less than $60. Very loud!! Set up is easy. Requires a parent account but is great for pre-k and up. Do not skip out on buying a screen protector and case. You will need it!

    This item was more expensive than the sprout cubby, and is in my opinion a lesser product. This tablet constantly had issues with app approval and loading in the childs software. This loading issue makes the tablet unusable most times requiring a restart, which didn't always resolve the issue. Battery also did not last more than a couple of hours.

    My grandson loves to play the apps included on this tablet as well as watch the videos. He feels that he is in control yet his parents set a time limit into the tablet and when it goes off he knows time is up. Seems very durable.

    We bought these and gave them to the Children's ward in 4 hospitals. They put a lot of smiles on kids that are in the hospital.

    This was a gift for a 2 year old. He feels like a big kid with a computer. He gets to watch his favorite shows and can take pictures. He has had it for 6 months and it is still in great condition!

    My 2 yr old loves this! I exchanged the newer leapfrog tablet for this one. My son can navigate through this easy and has lots of pre loaded apps for him. I wish there were screen protectors and better casing.

    The tablets was purchased got my 3 year old son, the tablet worked semi well during church the day after it was purchased, the battery drained after 3 hours of use and the tablet never turned back on. Returned it immediately to the store and was informed that many other customers returned theirs too due to dissatisfaction.

    Had to replace 3 times due to malfunctions. The first due to stop working. The second due to not charging. Did not even get the third one. They didn’t fix it had to keep getting a new one and still had problems all within a few months of having.

    My Son is really into playing learning games, and this is a fabulous pad for that. I recommend this over any game system any day. It keeps them thinking, learning, and getting more independent.

    Got this for my child who has special needs. I was worried she would break it easily. The other ones we looked at seemed flimsy. This thing can take a beating and the grips on help protect it.

    It worked good for a few months then the battery inflated, puff up double its size and pushed the back off. I took it back to get another one because I had insurance but i found out it was a hazard and the battery could of exploded on me or my kid. I do not recommend this tablet to anyone.

    I purchased this for my 6 year old niece for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. She has even dropped it a few times and the rubber case on the product saved it. I'm so glad I chose this product.
