But it would be great for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1389093 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:32:21 +0000 pui 1389093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: I wouldn't recommend any of those colour ereader tablets personally... They all have a watered down version of Android. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1389066 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:16:52 +0000 Lindsay05 1389066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: they seem to have great reviews and cant go wrong with a samsung thx!</p> <p>@MerryC: thanks! I think the nook may be american so not sure of its compatibility with Canadian stuff? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1387154 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 10:14:55 +0000 twinmama 1387154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had two gens of nook tablets and really like them. Our kids bang them around plenty and they have held up, and they can operate the touch screen and buttons very easily. The hd+ that we use most now uses the google play store for apps, which is nice, and has the bigger screen, 10" I think. They always have really good deals at Fathers Day...we got our latest for $149 plus 5% off at target last year. We also like the B&amp;N in store support option if we ever need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1387092 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:55:24 +0000 pui 1387092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: In that case I'd recommend something like a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7". I had that tablet for a while and it was great! They're going for like $150 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1387088 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:53:54 +0000 Lindsay05 1387088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome recs ladies. I have been reading some reviews online and it seems the Amazon store is not very compatible for Canadians so that blows. </p> <p>@pui: No preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1387041 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:41:15 +0000 pui 1387041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any other preferences like screen size? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1387020 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:35:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 1387020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon Fire?

We have yet to check out all the features but it looks like you could throw it against the wall and it would survive. Plus it's an android so you can download pretty much anything (through the parent login only). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1386971 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:20:49 +0000 looch 1386971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look into a refurbished ipad, in all honesty, it could even be a previous generation.</p> <p>Reason being that the apps available for the ipad are just so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1386970 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:19:32 +0000 loveisstrange 1386970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the 1st gen Nexus 7?</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Google-Nexus-Android-Tablet/dp/B00DB3SH2G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391091544&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=nexus+7+1st+gen" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Google-Nexus-Android-Tablet/dp/B00DB3SH2G/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1391091544&#038;sr=1-1&#038;keywords=nexus+7+1st+gen</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cheap-tablet-recs-for-a-toddler#post-1386964 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:16:58 +0000 Lindsay05 1386964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for some recommendations for a durable cheap tablet for our toddler to use. We cannot afford to buy our child an iPad since we can't even buy ourselves one. Right now LO is using an old iPod touch with a shattered screen so we need need to upgrade. Anything under $200 and a super strong case is a bonus :)</p> <p>FWIW, she loves watching tv shows on it and playing games, so app accessibility is also a factor. </p>
