    Love this tablet has games and tv shows already installed. Bright side is my son broke the screen but it has like a plastic over it that does not let the glass come outside.

    This tablet it's great for little kids. It's very easy to use and the programs are excellent just as I expected. There's a very wide variety of programs already pre-installed into this tablet and you choose the ones you like for your kids to play depending on their age and what you want them to learn. I really like it, especially when on the road they can play while they earn.

    My 2 year old thinks this is the greatest thing ever! But, I think it has a lot of issues that need to be addressed. I constantly get errors on it from the first time I started it up. It tells me it needs to be validated but I have done this multiple times and still get the message. The screen is very poor but I figured that it would be considering the price. It does offer some decent preloaded activities for my 2 year old but I have to work through the bugs to get to it.

    Gift for my granddaughter. I was looking for a nice educational gift for my granddaughter who is not quite two to grow into. Since this learning gift will go up to 10 years old, I figure it will last her a long time. Left it up to my son and daughter-in-law to set up and they actually had one of the cousins do it that was Only 13 years old. She had no problem.

    Bought this for my almost 2 year old nephew. Was looking at the kindle for kids then saw this one in the store. He already likes the pbs app so I though this would be perfect for him. I don't care for the fact that it can be used in another mode other than kid mode. I don't know how but even though it is password protected somehow he has been able to switch to parent mode on his own. Other than that I like that videos and be downloaded and he can watch with wifi.

    I bought this tablet for my youngest who is now 2 and she does great with it. The games on it are helping her with matching, colors, direction following, shapes, etc. I also love that it has the play store so we can add apps like YouTube Kids and Netflix.

    Decided on this tablet since the kids mode works so well that our kittle one cant get out of it without my password input. It works as a regular tablet also. PBS has included quite a few games and apps plus more for free online. No subscription needed. So far its survived many drops from our 2 year old.
