If you're looking for a tablet that does everything a kid could want, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is a great choice. Browsing? Sure! Allow creativity? Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE comes with an S Pen for such purpose and is even very handy for taking notes. How about playing games? Your child can enjoy popular games like Fortnite and Roblox with friends.

All of this is done on a fairly large 10.9-inch display, which is arguably the best size for a tablet without being too small or unwieldy. In fact, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE is quite light and durable with IP68 water and dust resistance. If you want to extend the life of your device, there's also the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+, which has a 12.4-inch screen, more RAM, and a larger battery.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Pro

Amazon Fire HD 10 Pro has easy-to-use features built right into the tablet, so there's no need to download third-party apps. It doesn't stop at restricting access to specific apps and websites; You can also set time limits and lock and unlock the device from another device.

The best part is that the Amazon Fire HD Pro has impressive performance and durability. Fire OS is a fairly slim version of Android, so it won't slow down the CPU and RAM to the point where it gets in the way when your child is using creative tools.

However, if you want more protection, choose the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids tablet, which has a significantly thicker case, runs the same hardware, and has the same parental controls.

Apple iPad Mini

Children are also not very excited about using a low-powered tablet. In every way, the Apple iPad Mini is the perfect tablet to upgrade. The power of the A15 Bionic chip goes a long way when it comes to multitasking, photo and video editing, gaming, and pretty much anything else they throw at them.

This tablet is compatible with Apple Pencil, Folio, and Magic Keyboard, not only providing kids with a set of tools to explore their creative endeavors, but also to take notes and complete homework.

Apple iPad Air

The Apple iPad Air is a more suitable choice than the Apple iPad Mini in terms of learning thanks to its significantly larger screen. More importantly, it runs the M1 chip you often see in Apple laptops and desktops.

Once paired with the Magic Keyboard, the Apple iPad Air is essentially a laptop. That extra screen space makes completing school assignments and reports significantly easier. And this is all while being extremely light and portable. The article still recommends that you use an iPad case for peace of mind. There's no telling what will happen once the tablet is in your child's backpack.

Amazon Fire 7

Reading is one of the best ways to expose your child to wonderful worlds. The Amazon Fire 7 is a great little device to encourage your child to read. With a 7-inch screen, it is quite comfortable to read and the lightweight texture makes it easy for children to grip.

Amazon offers a number of tools to ensure kids keep up with their reading. For example, if you require your child to spend 30 minutes reading every day, you can restrict access to entertainment apps - like YouTube - until that milestone is reached. And when it's time to go to bed, you can lock your Amazon Fire HD 7 from another device.

Depending on the child's age, you may want to consider purchasing a protective case. The Amazon Fire 7 kids' tablet has identical features and performance but comes with a thick rubber case and built-in kickstand.
