Got this tablet in 2022 for 75ish dollars including protective case. Truly a great investment. My 3yo daughter played with it regularly and it kept her entertained for countless hours. The protective case that came with the tablet was also worth the extra few dollars. She dropped it, threw it, jumped and stood on it was just generally haphazard with it. It lasted a little over a year until one day she just so happened to drop it so perfect that it landed flush on the ground with a loud smacking sound. The screen cracked in a nearly perfect circle and honestly could have continued to be used. The crack didn't make any sharp edges or anything but we figured it came with a 2 year warranty so we might as well use it and get it replaced.
Totally worth it, even if you end up having to pay for the warranty. After speaking with customer service I assumed it would just be repaired and then sent back, though the warranty says it would be replaced. It does seem as though it was replaced after all. The process was pretty easy. Just print out the lable, put it in a box, and drop it off at a UPS location. JUST MAKE SURE IF YOU DO A WARRENTY REPLACEMENT/REPAIR THAT YOU TAKE OFF THE CASE BEFORE YOU SEND IT IN. We forgot to take the case off and now we have to buy a new one. Which is fine only bc it was replaced free, and we got an amazing deal to begin with.
As far as the actual usage goes its also worth it. I set it up so that she can't make any purchases, and it provides her with an endless array of games and activities to be entertained with for free. It also has an adult profile that is automatically set to your Amazon account for easy set up. When you turn on the device (at original purchase) it boots right up with your information already loaded. All you have to do is click through and it's ready to go. You just set up your child's profile, which is also an easy process. You can set it to limit the amount of time your child can use it, as well as a daily shut off which locks the device from the child at a certain time. It also automatically unlocks at a set time. I have ours set to lock from 10pm to 6am. It makes it so easy to let her know its time to get off and go to bed if she hasn't already gotten off for the night. There are separate options for weekdays and weekends in this regard. Probably the best thing is that you can lock the sound limit. I hate it when someone is listening to their device too loudly without headphones so this is my favorite feature. Just all around a fantastic and worthy investment for your child's entertainment and your sanity when you just want to have a little time to yourself.
