more high-end devices is the Nabi, an Android tablet for kids. Netflix-ready,
the Nabi's 7-inch screen can display video in 1080p. While most kids may not
care about that detail, most will enjoy the tablet's ability to let them play
popular mobile games, browse the web, and read books. The tablet also features

children's titles, all of which take advantage of the tablet's 7-inch screen.

than half the price of the iPad. And that's not too much to ask for a device
with as much potential content as this one.

Noble's Nook Tablet is quickly becoming the de facto tablet for book-hungry
kids. In addition to over a thousand picture books, Barnes & Noble offers a
slew of interactive books designed specifically for the Nook Tablet. More, the

Xoom Family Edition offers a few features that Motorola hopes will make it an
ideal choice for parents and their kids. In addition to $40 worth of built-in
kids apps, Motorola has furnished the device with parental locking features,
which prevent kids from getting into content they shouldn't. While the the
Xoom's 10-inch screen isn't ideal for smaller hands, the Xoom Family Edition is
a tablet both kids and their parents can find use in.

and featuring a tempered glass screen cover, the Vinci is clearly built with
accident-prone kids in mind. Made especially for toddlers and preschoolers, the
Vinci tablet is built without Wi-Fi, an intentional decision done to save
parents the concern over whether the device is emitting potentially harmful
signals.
No list of kid-friendly tablets would be
complete without the iPad, which has firmly established itself as the go-to
tablet for most tablet consumers, let alone children. With countless games,
learning apps, and kid's books, the iPad may not be the cheapest item on this
list, but it's certainly the most popular.
