My daughter is 5 years old. This is his first real technological toy, because I prefer that my children thrive with "real" rather than virtual games on a screen, whatever it is. I'm not disappointed as a mom, and my daughter either. As a mom, I appreciate the fact that I can control access to the internet, and this is entirely the case seems it does, from what I had to do to set it: it manages the contacts of children and apps to download, for example. And yes, it's educational, both are conventionally, such as learning vocabulary, to count, to recognize words ... but also for the autonomy of the child who learns to only a drawing, change application, navigate the menu ... and I think that's important for our children who bathe in technology, like it or not. And my daughter loves. She draws, crayon, take pictures, listen to stories, play games. All pleases. That does not prevent him from playing next with her doll, her Lego or Playmobil or flick with lots of fun books, or do real coloring on paper. So for me, it is a success. A fun but educational toy, which without being intrusive for the mind of the child, and please allow a gentle immersion in the life of tomorrow. For durability of the device, I expect to see over time. And ergonomic side, the device is light enough I think, compared to a large tablet, the screen large enough for the recommended age in my opinion. I do not find that loading between 2 apps is so long as that. It's true that it's not like my tablet, but it's not unbearable though. In any case, not to 5 years.
