I like the Walmart sold Onn. brand. I think we have the 10 inch version which was very reasonably priced. The reason I bought it is that it supports Google’s Kid Space. Think of it like the ui used on the Amazon kid tablets but more open to other apps. You can still install any Android app - but the UI is more kid focused.

One of OKCupid’s founders - Christian Rudder was in a band called Bishop Allen (along with Justin Rice). Awesome band. That has nothing to do with this thread - just thought I’d recommend you check them out.

More of an Android thing - but it needs to support a separate kid mode like the Chromecast with Google TV does. Also - adding an SD card to mine still gets me the ‘low storage’ error with the SD card barely touched on usage. I switched over to the Chromecast because of these 2 things (I’m using a USB C hub to add Ethernet and expanded storage that actually gets used for the Chromecast).

I’ve been on Lemmy for a couple of months now - best comment I’ve read so far. You absolutely nailed it.
