Hello!

I want to get my daughter an iPad that she can play on but I dont know much about them. She is always on my laptop so I want to get her something that she can have and use. I also want to be able to use it when I want to. Any info would be great. Thank You.

  • I wouldn’t recommend any Apple products as I do not like them. However, for a very yound person I think something more durable would last longer. Even with hard covers ipads can break easily when dropped (and your child will likely drop and throw the I pad)


  • Also interested in the answers for family,some great suggestions!


  • I brought mine an iPad mini2 and brought the shock proof case, so if they throw it, it doesn’t crack the screen. There are some fantastic app suitable for 1 year olds. Found them great for keeping them distracted when out and about or at the doctors etc.


  • Why don’t you get her one of the kiddie based toy laptop/iPad? Seriously, she’s 1, she does not need an iPad or a tablet, she has no idea to respect it and look after it. One is too young!


  • I bought my iPad last year ,you should go have a look at some on display,big w ,say,I did,got the bigger size,cost $417 with retina just when iPad slim came out,few hundred more,get one like mine not a slim & cheaper.


  • My two year old uses my iPad Air and handles it fine :)


  • For a 1′ year old? Really!? Far too young to be on a device


  • be wary even with covers, my kids have still broken these!


  • Kmart sell cheap rip off iPad things for $59 I’m going to get my son one or Xmas. May be worth checking out:)


  • Samsung actually make a kids tablet that can handle bumps and drops more than the adult ones.


  • maybe a cheap ipad thing but cheap on as might break easy


  • there are some good comments here


  • i would use leapfrog for a 1 year old. my kids love mine


  • I highly recommend an iPad :) Forget about Leapfrog etc, the iPad (or iPad Mini) is the ultimate toy for a toddler, plus it benefit the parent because we can use them too :) It doesn’t have to be Apple either, it could the Samsung equivalent if you wish.


  • Did you end up getting an ipad?
