I got a 64 or 128GB ipad2 for a pretty good price. It wasn't the newest version so it was fine by me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2749508 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 22:48:43 +0000 MamaG 2749508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: that's the style of case we have on our fire and our daycare uses this case as well. 👍🏻 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2749506 Mon, 19 Jun 2017 22:41:22 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2749506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whichever one you get, I would highly suggest this protective case. We have it on our iPad mini and it has survived a lot including my 17 month old grabbing it out of his sister's hands and throwing it multiple times. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EPIWYDY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1497929941&#038;sr=8-3&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&#038;keywords=kids+ipad+mini+case&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41bxdQHLUhL&#038;ref=plSrch" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EPIWYDY/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1497929941&#038;sr=8-3&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&#038;keywords=kids+ipad+mini+case&#038;dpPl=1&#038;dpID=41bxdQHLUhL&#038;ref=plSrch</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2748242 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 09:24:11 +0000 808love 2748242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarDad: Yay!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2748223 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 08:49:58 +0000 CarDad 2748223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thing I'd mention is that a new update is coming this fall and it is only compatible with the models at the bottom of this Apple page: <a href="https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-11-preview/" rel="nofollow">https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-11-preview/</a></p> <p>Apple just refreshed the 9.7 inch model and lowered the price to $329 so that is by far the best value in my opinion since it has a newer faster processor than the one in the mini 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2748216 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 08:37:44 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2748216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree although the mini is easier/nicer to carry around, the kids like the bigger screen for some of the games/reading. Also if there are two kids sharing, it helps to have more screen space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2748211 Fri, 16 Jun 2017 08:24:49 +0000 looch 2748211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you looking at specific apps? We have ones that the school provides, so I spent a little time trying them out and finally decided for those, we needed a regular sized ipad (the mini was too small for reading for my son). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2748146 Thu, 15 Jun 2017 21:09:29 +0000 MamaCate 2748146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to suggest considering the mini. I have one and really like the size versus the "big" regular sized one. The screen is super clear, DD and I both watch shows on it, and the portability means I am more likely to carry it room to room while I am getting stuff done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipad-recommendations#post-2748048 Thu, 15 Jun 2017 15:53:11 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2748048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Check out Swappa!

DH and I both have Samsung tablets we received for free and DD1 has a Kindle fire. We both use iPhones and I struggle to move between the Android and Apple interfaces so our other devices go mostly unused. DD1 also is exposed to iPad's at school so I feel like it just makes sense for us.</p> <p>Where do I get the best bang for my buck? Any recommendations of which to get? This will just be used casually for education apps and some app usage by DH and I. </p>
