    This kid tab is horrible. Scratches super easy, will go back into parent mode with password or prompting so the kids have access to anything. Would not recommend. Also video quality is horrible.

    This product was suggested as a cheaper alternative to the Samsung for my son's Christmas money budget. We exchanged it three times for technical and setup issues. We finally just bought the Samsung and have not had any issues with it.

    Most of the preloaded apps are not for toddlers. And even though you can add your own apps of the aren't PBS you have to exit the PBS software completely in order to use them.

    It freezes up a lot and just shuts off randomly. The only way to get it to come back on is with the reset button. We only had it a few weeks when we started having problems with it.

    Very cheap, very slow and unresponsive. Save a little money, get an iPad with Otter-box/kidproof case!
