You can even set a bedtime and a wake-up time, and between those hours you can't turn the tablet on. (I think that's genius!)
Fortunately, the Kids Edition gets full marks here as well.
You get a year of FreeTime Unlimiited with purchase, meaning unlimited access to over 5000 books, movies, TV shows, educational apps and games. And not generic books and shows you and your child have never heard of - these are PBS Kids, Nick Jr., and Disney shows, stories with your favorite characters - Curious George, Peg + Cat, Wild Kratts, Dora the Explorer. When the year is up, it's only $4.99 a month to subscribe.
But they're also safer here than on your average tablet. In the FreeTime kids' profile, they don't have access to internet or social media, and they can't make in-app purchases.
This is the kind of gift that will be mentioned first when the inevitable "What did you get for Christmas?" questions come around. Kay feels like a "big kid" because she has her own tablet; I'm satisfied because her profile doesn't get access to the internet and all the things that go with it.
Her daddy is a fan of the tablet too. Of course, that's because she can watch her shows on it and he gets the TV all to himself. Plus, no commercials on the tablet! (Gotta love that!)
And since it's geared for kids aged 3 - 10 years old, they'll be able to use it for years.
And, of course, you can log into your own profile and use it when the kids aren't around. Can you tell I do that? Because I totally do!
