How parents handle screen time is a personal choice for each family. But if you are in the market for a kid-friendly tablet, keep a few things in mind. Make sure it’s robust, meaning it won’t break the first time your child drops it in the driveway. Ensure that it has parental controls that limit what your kid sees online and how long he spends doing it. Pay attention to battery life: You want something that lasts long enough to be of service during a road trip. And of course, don’t invest in something expensive enough that you’ll be curled up into a ball when your child cracks the screen. Which will happen.
