    We bought this to keep our 2 year old grandson entertained on a trip. It has turned out to be much more. He is learning his letters, sounds, etc. from it as well. It is easy to use and fun for the child.

    The tablet has play mode you set up with a password to limit what you allow. Because you can use it as a regular tablet. It's a little slow, but hey the price is right.

    This holds up well for my toddler, however the preloaded content is misleading as the 200+ hours are 30 second to two minute clips. I thought there would be some full episodes of shows, so it’s not as useful on long car rides as we had hoped.

    Fun games and videos that are age appropriate. What I don’t like is the constant updates. But it performs well and my 2 year old is learning from it. Little pricey compared to what’s on the market but again I believe you get more without a monthly subscription with this.

    Horriable Battery life

    I have a son with Aspburgers. I bought this tablet without review because I trusted the PBS name. I'm so disappointed in the battery life of this tablet. Because of my sons learning disabilities it takes him alot longer to get through a educational game. I've even exchanged it, and the battery life is the same. The PBS games are great, but it so frustrating to get a game accomplished when it shuts down. PBS should definitely take their name off this tablet.

    For the price it is okay. My 3 year old can play games and watch youtube. But it does freeze a lot and is very slow which can make kids mad.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 2 year old nephew and he loves it. He loves the PBS app on our phones so this tablet was a no brainer. Easy to set up and use, just wish the case was attached, the blue rubber part comes off if pulled.

    This is the perfect tablet for a toddler. It has a lot of PBS videos and games preinstalled. It is parent controlled, and colorful. It is durable, no tablet is totally break proof, but I am impressed with this one.

    I bought this tablet for my 4 years old daughter. The battery doesn't last, we have to charge it multiple times during the day. The play time mode was is a mess, I have reset my password multiple time, but I couldn't get it to work. Some of the apps do not open.

    The PBS educational playtime tablet is great for kids it feels pretty rigid, it wouldn’t break after dropped on a reasonable surface, nice easy grip for little hands. A lot of games and educational apps on it!
