Will a 2 year old be able to enjoy/use this tablet? If not what age is best to start a child with a tablet? Can you watch movies on this?

I bought this tablet for a two year old. She is very adept using it. Her older brother had taught her how to use a smart phone so she was already familiar with a touch screen. Her brother downloads games and I'm pretty sure it will handle movies. The thing is incredible. I'd recommend it for your two year old.

I ordered 3 tablets for Christmas, one for each of my children (aged 12-19) and the tablets are still working just fine. They could watch Netflix on their tablets. They do not currently because of our wireless router, not the tablets themselves.

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.

There is a program called UKtube which allows you to watch youtube videos on this tablet. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/ukmpIf your son is a bit geeky then he will love this tablet. It has quite a lot of online software developed by other users. http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.com/2007/08/ukmp-151-combined-with-updated-uktube.html. Looks like the Nokia 800 is cheaper online now than you can get this one here, so I'd check that out. It is the successor to this tablet and I understand has improvements including it can play youtube out of the box.

I purchased this iPad 4 my 8 yrs old. She watch shows and play games on this all the time. Hadn't heard her complain yet. And, it has been 2 years.

I bought the tablet for my 8 year old. Even though it only has the front camera they have found a way to take videos and pictures of other people. You have to turn the camera out the other way so basically the person getting the picture of them, sees the picture being taken Good luck and enjoy!

This tablet was for my 13 year old son. He thinks it's pretty fast - but he's also comparing it to his last one that was pretty slow - so not sure if it's the best comparision - but it does everything he wants it to do and he hasn't complained that it's taking too long. Hope that helps. I'm not using it myself - or I might be a better judge. My son really loves it - if that helps at all.

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

The laptop isn't what I originally expected, I mean it works but it reminds me more of a big tablet with a keyboard. There are times where it can take a while to load and it's difficult to copy and paste things. I guess I'm trying to say what are you going to use it for. If the child is going to use a flashdrive to listen to music or watch movies on there, it ca work. But I worry that researching and doing hw may not be the best of things to use it for, hope I could help ^_^

My 2 year old nephew plays with it a little when he comes over but my 15 month old son is already starting to lose interest. It was the perfect toy when he was 6 months to a year. He definitely still plays with it now it's not quite as interesting as it used to be. I would suggest something more advanced for a 2 year old. Hope this helps.

Man, Barbara is such a b!tch, lol. This tablet is priced to be a "throw away" tablet. I believe B. Herndon is trying to give her 5 yo something that will function almost as well as the high-priced tablets, but if any "accidents" occur, she won't sweat the price she paid. Better to start the rugrats off on relatively inexpensive gadgets, so when they break 'em, they'll know better next time. I plan on giving my 8 yo the next tablet up for his birthday, so he can do some of his schoolwork on it, and of course play games.

No my two year old was using this at age 1 1/2 and still uses it at 21/2 h will love it and be able to operate it well :)

Yes, you can watch videos. But as far playing games I would not suggest this tablet because of the older operating system. I think it is android 3.4 and cannot be upgraded any further. This would make your gaming run at slower speed.

I wouldn't bother, the screen is very small and hard to see. No instructions on how to play games, neither I nor his parents were able to teach much about it to 3.5 yo grandson, so he quickly lost interest. Plays more with tech tablet and regular tablet games.

The tablet works great. I purchase two of them but one of the has a problem with the power button. Tablet still works though. My daughters use it for everything. I do recommend that you purchase a large Micro Sd card for the tablet at least a 16gb card. Other than that its a great tablet. Oh! Last thing try to get the forward and back facing camera. Its a little more but worth it.

No. We've had a house full of kids today ranging from age 5-12. The 5-year-old, a true ipad user, was frustrated with the sphero. I wouldn't recommend this for a 2-year-old. The finesse required and the care it requires - I just wouldn't recommend it.

You can watch sites like YouTube, and download your videos onto the tablet. It will convert some video file types so that they will play on the tablet.
