It seems like the minute Brady was old enough to crawl he was reaching for my tablet. Ok so maybe it wasn’t quite that early, but the child has been an electronics enthusiast from very early on. I bet yours is, too.
The thing is, I have struggled to find a tablet that he loves to play and learn with, but is also safe for him to use. We have purchased several devices over the years and the ones that are labeled for kids seem to be far less advanced. On the other hand, the ones that are for an older age group easily take them right into the land of the Internet where they are free to roam. Even the best parental controls I put in place didn’t stop him from seeing inappropriate things. But then I found the Kurio Xtreme Tablet!
If you allow your child on the Internet, the device features a secure and browser-independent ‘Kurio Genius’ Internet filtering system. That means it has security levels covering over 500 million websites and in-app web filtering. Your kids are not going anywhere they shouldn’t be and that puts me at such ease.
The Perfect Kids Tablet
First and foremost, I approve every single app or game that is added to his profile. He has his profile that holds all of his fun stuff that he easily gets to. Then, there is a parental section that requires my password to enter. It also lets parents set play time limits and restrict certain websites. Since the Kurio Xtreme works with Google Play we can still get all of his favorite apps he had on other tablets like his favorite cartoon shows. But again, the only person that can download those are me.
That’s enough about me and how much I love the Kurio Xtreme; let’s talk about Brady. He adores it. In all honesty, before I got this tablet I was concerned it wouldn’t have enough things on it that he liked, but I was so wrong. It comes with 90 kid-friendly games already there and ready to play! And they’re fun games – games he actually really enjoys playing.
Plus, if you get worried about your kids sitting around playing games and not being active you will love this part. The Kurio Xtreme features body motion gaming. I saw Brady one day sitting on his butt, frantically kicking his legs up and down for several minutes. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was swimming. They can race, ski, play soccer and yes, swim.
Now that I’ve got you all excited about how amazing this is, I’m not going to leave you hanging – I’m going to give somebody one! To enter for a chance to win a Kurio Xtreme Tablet, leave me a comment telling me what feature of a kids tablet is the most important to you. That’s it!
