Please don't waste your money. I have one and the company had so many complaints they took them selves off the internet. You can buy one but you can't get any support and no refunds. Amazon may sell them and they shouldn't. I paid 399.00 and I could have bought a good tablet. They do not work like they promise. Has an old system and you can't update. Hope this helps.

Hello. I am not sure what you would want him to be able to do, but some things that might interest him is that he can use the Tablet for streaming Netflix, downloading games to play, Skyping with you (if his parents set him up first,) etc. Thank you

You are welcome. This is a great tablet for the money. I brought it for my grandson at Christmas and he is really enjoying it.

You may receive different opinions about this tablet. My experience with this device has been very positive. I saved money and have been able to use the device without troubles. I have even dropped the tablet multiple times until I finally bought a case to keep it in. I primarily use my tablet as a Bible to quickly find chapters and versus much faster than most people can look them up in the Bible itself. Enjoy ...

This particular tablet has been perfect for all you mentioned! Light weight, so easy to carry. My daughter used it for class over the summer (college ) and my husband used his for gaming, web searches, and emails. I use mine for web searches and emails mostly. Yes! We each have one.

You'd be amazed at what kids can do. Give them the tablet and they just take off like a rocket learning. With a few guided lessons and with just the right apps your child will certainly enjoy using and growing with the Leapfrog LeapPad Tablet. we've had ours since my son was 3 1/2 but my God daughter turned 3 this September and she sits down with it and taps away and watches videos, takes photos and tries playing games. great part is they don't grow out of it for a while when they are that long and its so durable that even if a child has the dropsy's its still safe to use. My son has thrown ours several times and it just amazes me that it still works I can't say the same for his other gaming counsel. You'd be amazed at what kids can do.

Hello,they have games and apps for older children (which I haven't tried yet since mine are 5 and 2 years old). Plus the new Innotab 2S is Wifi ready so that would probably be really cool for her.

No, I wouldn't purchase it for a 2 year old. I bought it for my grandson at the time he was 11yrs. old and I had to put restrictions on it for him. I wish that I would have found a more appropriate tablet for him with children games already on it. I had to download games on it for him. There are much better tablets out there and more fitting for a 2yr. old. Besides. . . I had to send the tablet back because it stop working after a month . . I was very happy that I got the replacement warranty on it.

Thank you for the feedback. I went ahead and bought the V-Tech only because I had read the stylus sometimes didn't work on the leapster and I can see my son freaking out when it doesn't work. We are going on a long trip (overseas) so I wanted something to entertain him. The Leapster might be in our future as well however.

The best case you can get would be a universal leather case, preferably one with a built in keyboard. No matter what you do, this is not a rugged tablet so it's not meant for children. The biggest complaint I see about these low end tablets is parents saying how quickly their kids break them or crack the screen. Just because its a 60 dollar tablet doesn't mean it's a kids tablet, it's not a toy. These tablets need to be taken good care of just like a 500 dollar one. There are rugged tablets out there made for kids. My kids has one. The screen is not glass or of similar material. It's a softer flexible plastic. The case is rugged. Has rubber all around it and grips on the side. Well insulated to protect it from drops. EFUN makes tablets designed for kids running your flavor of Android OS.

@Jeff Barr 100% Agree with all that. For under $300, this thing is a beast of a tablet and for people that don't know the rooted custom roms (which is the custom android software you will run) are always much faster than the stock ones, so you'll likely be running as fast as many newer tablets out there. Rooted my phone and tether the two to get online as well, it's great!

I had this same question earlier this week. I decided to go to Walmart and purchase the Nabi 2 for my 8 year old in case it didn't live up to our expectations, we could have a hassle free return. It's been a week and he loves it!!! I have installed amazon kindle, storia and amazon app store on it so that we can have more options for entertainment. I plan to add movies and music to an sd card so that he can have the space to download as many apps as he likes. I chose this tablet simply for the parental controls, making it safer, the durability and the fact that we can keep it on mommy mode when he gets older. I do admit that the spinlets tv and music seem preschool-ish but like I said there are many alternatives such as Amazon since this is a "real" android tablet.

We have a LeapPad, it's pretty expensive to load it up with games/books and doesn't seem worth the high price tag. I am considering returning it for a Vtech. The camera on the LeapPad is OK, but now I realize I would rather have the option to load music and movies.

It should be fine. My 5 year old plays Angry birds and a few other games on mine occasionally. One thing I noticed is that the tablet responds slowly when it's on wireless and trying to do auto syncs or updates. When I turned off the options and began syncing my apps on demand, it worked much better. I haven't tried it with games that really test the orientation sensors, but I think it'll be fine. I would recommend it at under $90. So far I've been happy with it. Hope this helps.

Lilly.n Kindle fire is a great product but not for what you want. You are right about the LePan. There is a LePan 2 that I am considering buying myself. I have been researching for months now. When you read the low star reviews and the same issue keeps showing up, I believe it. If the complaints are all over the place I don't take them seriously. Every Android I get my eye on ends up with major issues. I think I am just going to get the apple ipad and play it safe. ps amazon.com is cheaper than hsc. best of luck, God Bless
