My daughter is approaching 3 and my wife has suggested a tablet either as a birthday or Christmas present, and I’m a bit hesitant. It’d be great for long trips, but I think as a day-to-day thing it might be a distraction. It’d get Spidey and Friends off the telly though. How and when did you handle this?

    When he was about 2. I was a bit hesitant at first, but the kids apps are pretty good. Lots of educational games that taught him numbers, letters and simple logic.

    The parental controls on Android are very good too, so you can easily block stuff and set hours. Make sure you block YouTube. The kids channels you get are utter garbage.
