    Awesome kid tablet

    My wife and I bought the original Nabi tablets years ago, and our boys have used them well. We felt it was time for new ones, since it is hard to get charger cords and battier replacements for the older tablets. We still love how Nabi makes the tablets and has the separate Mommy mode for admin functions.

    Had the nabi 2 to begin with, got this one through an exchange, so it was an upgrade. Boys are always fighting over it so definitely buying another one. Easy to use kid friendly

    I read a lot of reviews on this tablet before going out to the store to get it. I thought it was a great deal since he dropped it a few times on the corner and the rubber case did it's job. 2 weeks after my son got this tablet he was bouncing around and it fell on the screen. Screen side down and it fell flat. Problem 1 - Before the tablet broke the KidTube would not work because it kept asking for the Daddy account on the tablet when only a mommy account was set up. He had to be signed into the Mommy account to watch Kidtube. Problem 2 - Did not allow me to MAKE a Daddy account Problem 3 - Best buy's Insurance will not replace the tablet if there is screen damage because it is not part of their contract. Problem 4 - Bestbuy gave me a great deal and gave me our new tablet half off and returned the insurance to go on the new one. I was happy over all. Then i got the new one home. It will not let you set up without wifi (Which I knew from the first one) Then it will not let you set up until it runs an update AFTER you sign into your google account (Knew this too) On this tablet It detects the wifi for everything BUT the new update. My email went to the tablet and everything, but Will not let me move forward because the update screen does not detect Wifi. I have tried trouble shooting everything to make it connect (even though it says it is connected and a test email came across the tablet). Problem 5 - Can not do a master reset on the tablet without passing the setup. There is no way out of the set up.

    awful warranty

    Puchased two nabi dream tabs. They were ideal for our 4 and 2 year old for 6 months. They were loved to death. One froze often and had to rebooted daily. It was mailed to nabi according to their return policy to find out the warranty changed from the time it left and arrived there. They did not stand by their warranty and cheated us out of a tablet.

    Good tablet to keep kids entertained

    Good tablet to keep kids entertained and very durable. One negative is the proprietary charging cable. A standard Micro USB cable would have made it much more functional without the extra cost of buying Nabi cables.

    needs screen warranty

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great tablet, however, if your child cracks the screen nabi does not replace it without charging you. Hello.... children are going to drop it. Maybe make a better case for it and then not charge customers $100 to replace a crack screen or atleast give warranty

    I bought 2 of these for my kids. Both of them were not working from the time I took them out of the box. I took it to Best Buy and 2 hours later I ended up getting a refund... It's not worth the hassle.

    Disappointing...

    I bought this for my 7 year old daughter over the Leap pad Epic, I believe I made a mistake. There are features that don't even work with it such as video streaming. When attempting to use them it says, "This feature is no longer supported." Another issue I have with it is that if I approve a website on it, it doesn't matter. What matters is what Nabi approves of. If I'm okay with my daughter using a website, that should be enough. Lastly, in order to register your "Mommy/Daddy" profile, they require the input of a credit card and a 50 cent charge. Overall I was fully disappointed and wish I chose a different option.

    Great tablet. My kids are 2 1/2 and 6 yr old and use it for learning purposes you can set on child mode for safe exploring. I'd recommend for anyone who has a child.

    Could not get passed the forced updates. Stuck on "android" page. Called Tech support and after an hour and two techs, I was advised to return tablet back to Best Buy. Waste of my time.

    Software Crash

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The concept for the tablet is great. The software...... not so much. It would stay stuck on the Dreamworks boot screen. Couldn't turn it off or reset. Had to let the battery die. I finally found out how to reset it. After I did that, now the tablet turns off completely after 10 minutes rendering it useless to a 6 year old.

    2 out of 2 froze up

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    At first it was a good tablet, but after a couple months it would freeze up while playing on it, and we would shut it down and reboot it. Now it turns on to the power on screen and thats it. I would give a better review, but I bought 2 and both are doing the same thing. The odds of 2 going bad at the same time are a signs of bad product.

    We ordered two Nabi Dreamtabs for my two step kids for Christmas. The first one arrived today and we attempted to set it up so it would be ready to go by this weekend. The tablet started up but would not charge. We tried everything imaginable to have it charge. Charging indicator light never even come on. Again, this was a brand new tablet, never touched before and did not work to even set up. We will be returning the second Nabi we purchased once it arrives. We ended up buying the Amazon Kids Tablet instead. Beyond frustrated with my first and last Nabi experience right before Christmas.
