I'm looking for an Ipad for children between the age of 7 and 10. Any suggestions. I have no idea where to begin. Thanks :)

I got my 6 year old the leapfrog tab 2 and she likes it but she gets very aggregated because the batteries die to quickly. If you decide to get 1 I recommend get a power cord that fits it because Batteries can be a hassle and aggregating.

The games would probably not be challenging enough for a very bright 8-year-old; my 7-year old finds it a little too young. This is best for kids 2-6, in my opinion. As far as a handheld for under $100? The DS is a good suggestion; I would wait for a lower priced "adult" tablet to come out.

An MP3 Player is not a ridiculous gift for a 6 year-old. My son is getting IlluStory for his B-Day and he has an iPod Touch as well. One thing does not affect the other! The world now offers us many possibilities and I am sure kids that have parents aware of what is around will be successful and learn to use all the tools they need now and in the future!

There are few apps that come with it, but they are very basic, lame and boring (like Pets, drawing/coloring). I never bought apps on it yet. My son who is almost 2 prefers to play with my iPad it's more fun and interesting plus you get a lot more apps for free from Apple. I'm not sure how old your child is but I do not recommend it.

The Nabi xD has educational games but it has to be connected to da internet to work;). It well worth it. I have children for age 4-14 n they all use it they love it.

Did you ever get an answer?? We just bout the new Kindle Fire for our 9yo and while I could let her use my iPad, if she could use it on her own would be so much better!

My grandson is 7, and he is very interested on how things works and problem solves. I got the snap circuit 300 for him figuring it had a lot more options for him. Not sure what age your looking for.

Thanks for the suggestion! Since I didn't get my first ipod touch until age 46, I think 8 is a little too young. I also am not happy with unrestricted internet access for an 8-year-old. But I do appreciate the suggestion.

It's best for kids that can read some...but ages out by 10. You can get "older" apps from Google Play, which extends the age range a little, but those apps are sometimes glitchy on the MEEP.

There are over 100 apps that are pre-loaded. Most are great educational games that are arranged by age or school grade for math, spelling, reading, writing, memory, geography, etc. Lots of stories and books. There are also some other games like Angry Birds, Candy Crush, etc. just for fun and are hidden away so you can dole them out when you want. Most apps are full version and all of them are fun for the kids. You don't need wifi, so you don't have to worry about the internet or popup ads where they would buy something. If you want to download more games, you can turn on wifi and go to Google Play Store. It's a really great learning tool, but it isn't a toy - so you have to keep an eye on them.

The games were above my almost 2 year old. She just didn't enjoy them like the games on the iPad. Maybe she was just used to iPad ??

Hello,they have games and apps for older children (which I haven't tried yet since mine are 5 and 2 years old). Plus the new Innotab 2S is Wifi ready so that would probably be really cool for her.

I've heard that the app doesn't work on the iPad minis and there hasn't been updates for the app since iOS switched to iOS 7. iPad 1-3 would work best

I just bought Furby Boom. Trying to be a little ahead of the Xmas rush. So, we haven't opened the box. But, I believe that's why my 8 yr old asked for this one bc it does many things with the App. She has last years Furby and that one does all sort of things without the app. Sorry wish I could tell you more.

Jewel train, Sugar Bugs and Alphabet Stew are the titles geared toward the older children. There are 2 new Discovery videos geared toward the 5-9 age group. Other than that, the selection may be limited and your son may find it interesting a few days and they he may quickly outgrow the product. I hope that Leapfrog expands their library toward the 7-10 age range. There are maybe 3 to 4 cartridge games also for the 5-9 age range like X-Man and NFL Rush Zone. If I was in yours shoes, I would perhaps consider buying a Nintendo DS as they also have good educational titles and also play some of the leisure games with the same device. Our 6 year old is getting the LeapPad as well as the Nintendo DS Lite (same price now). Hope this is helpful.

I bought 2 of them. One for my 3 year old and one for my 5 year old who is great with an iPad. They found it a little frustrating - probably because they are used to the speed of iPads and iPhones.
