We're wanting to get our two boys each a tablet for Christmas.
They are 8&9 years old.
I've been trying to compare the tablets in the sales these last few days and the released upcoming Cyber Monday sales and I'm ever more confused.
It would be primarily for games, some education apps, taking "kid" pictures, etc.
The budget is approx $75-90 per tablet.
I don't want to go super cheap and get a table that will only last 3 or 4 months and then starts having problems, but nor am I going to be getting them IPad mini's. IPad Mini's would be nice since they use them at school for some really great math and reading apps, but I can't justify giving my child something so expensive. And no, putting the money together, and buying one from them to share it not an option.
Since we're cutting back this year, we decided the tablet was going to be their main gift from mom and dad, and only a few other items. So, it needs to be worth the amount paid and durable for a child's use.
Our town has most major retailers, and of course we can always order online.
