The first tablet for a kid is a portal to much educational software and child-friendly content (including the vast options on YouTube Kids). Still, you choose what you'd like to spend.

It's easy to see why children gravitate to tablets that can be loaded with educational content and apps as quickly as possible. Children can not only read books, play an interactive game, watch movies, and listen to music. But they can also learn the fundamentals of using a computer and even learn how to code on a children's tablet.

Most child-friendly tablets have comprehensive parental control options, enabling parents to track the amount of screen time and allow them to access the content. If you purchase a tablet for your kids, you're sure to find the perfect tablet among our picks for the best tablet for children.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition

Samsung's Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition shows a vivid 8-inch display with a resolution of 1,280 by 800 HD, which is ideal for Netflix binges or reading under the covers. Protecting against bumps and drops comes in a durable bumper case, and it will feel safe in small hands.

This powerful, portable Android tablet is also available in a variant without the bumper case if you're planning to share the device with your kid. You can buy a 10-inch bumper-less option, too, if you want an even larger display.
