Apple iPad Mini 2
The iPad Mini definitely isn’t cheap, but you can’t beat the quality and app support. I wouldn’t recommend it for smaller kids who can let it easily slip from their hands, but it would work for older kids who show more responsibility. You can access over 1 million apps, and it includes a 5-megapixel camera. There are numerous parental features that make the iPad Mini more suitable to purchase for your kids. If you are an iPhone owner and have already purchased games and apps, you can easily download those on this tablet at no additional cost.
