The best tablet for your pre-K to middle-school kids is usually the one you aren’t using. But if you need to buy one, we’ve spent hundreds of hours testing tablets, and we think Apple’s 7th-generation iPad has the best combination of ease of use, performance, kid-appropriate app selection, and price. It can do anything your kid might want, from schoolwork to play, and it should still be usable three or four years from now.

Apple iPad (7th generation, 32 GB), the best new tablet for your kid

Apple iPad (7th generation, 32 GB)

The best new tablet for your kid
Offers the best combination of ease of use, performance, app selection, and price, whether you’re an adult or a kid. The 32 GB version is a good buy if you’re mostly streaming media rather than downloading it.
We recommend
Apple iPad (7th generation, 128 GB), more space for games and videos

Apple iPad (7th generation, 128 GB)

More space for games and videos
Four times more internal storage gives you space to install lots of apps and games, and to download movies and TV shows for long car or plane rides.
We recommend
Apple iPad mini (5th generation, 64 GB), more expensive, but smaller and lighter

Apple iPad mini (5th generation, 64 GB)

More expensive, but smaller and lighter
The iPad mini is more expensive than the 7th-generation iPad, but you get double the storage, and it may be better suited to smaller kids’ hands.
Another good choice
Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition, slow but cheap, and good for video

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition

Slow but cheap, and good for video
It’s slower than an iPad and has a worse screen and a much more limited app selection, but it’s inexpensive, it comes with a kid-proof case and an accidental-damage warranty, and it has good parental controls.
Budget friendly
