Dh likes the regular and I like the mini! He only uses it at home to watch videos and he likes the larger screen. I like to throw it in my purse so I wanted a smaller one!</p> <p>Our kids don't really get ipad time yet so I can't comment on which is better for LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1673243 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:27:33 +0000 cascademom 1673243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the normal sized one around the time of my maternity leave, so 2 years ago. LO loves watching Daniel Tiger on it. I use it for browsing, etc. I have no complaints on the bigger one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1673230 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:25:19 +0000 sslm 1673230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I think we'll probably go with the mini for the cost savings. DH still thinks we need the bigger one. We'll see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672640 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:39:08 +0000 woodentulip 1672640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two normal ones, but my dad has the mini, and I &lt;3 it so much. It is a much better size for me to hold, and my daughters can handle it so much better than the big ones.<br /> I am thinking about ordering one to replace our older normal one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672553 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:04:40 +0000 Pumuckl 1672553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an ipad air and love it! The mini is just too small for me to type on comfortably and I like the bigger screen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672549 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:03:46 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1672549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like our mini. I feel like the standard size is practically like lugging around a laptop. What's the point? Then again: if you dot ALREADY own a laptop: that size screen might be what you're looking for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672547 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:02:34 +0000 septca 1672547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the mini because it's easy to throw in my purse. I would *definitely* splurge and get the 3G version (rather than just WiFi). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672546 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:02:15 +0000 bunnylove08 1672546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mini and love it. I watch TV and read on it when DD is sleeping and it doesn phase me that its small. My sister has a 2nd gen ipad and its much heavier. we like that ours is lighter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672544 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:01:27 +0000 avivoca 1672544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Mini...I find it to be a much better size as far as holding it (I use mine to read eBooks), and I never feel like I compromised on features. If LO is going to use it, I think the smaller size would be easier for her to hold too. It fits nicely in all my bags and they have a good selection of covers for them as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-or-ipad-mini#post-1672521 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 09:54:10 +0000 sslm 1672521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying to decide between the two. LO is 1 so not using it yet, we'd like it for watching movies in the car on road trips, and games for her, and just general web browsing for us. </p> <p>Opinions? </p>
