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.
Opinions?

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

We have two normal ones, but my dad has the mini, and I 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.
I am thinking about ordering one to replace our older normal one.

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!

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.

We have both. 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!
Our kids don't really get ipad time yet so I can't comment on which is better for LOs.
