I've been looking to get a tablet for our kids, but don't know what to get? The Pendo pad seems a bit dodgy, and the Lenovo Tab 3 and Onda V80 perhaps too high spec (expensive). Any middle ground or a cheaper place to get these from?
Tablet for kids?

Budget is sub $100. High probability that it will be dropped/smashed at some point so reluctant to spend too much. Probably going to be used for apps and taking random photos of the ground
I bought an iPad for my 6 year old. He understand the consequences and looks after it very well.
second hand ipad. you can get a 1 or 2 for that price on ebay. but bear in mind newer apps may not work as those are some what outmoded. but will be fine for kids.
I bought one for my nephew, I warned him that Santa wouldn't come down the chimney next year if he broke it. He replied "We don't have a chimney" Owned.
Sub $100?? At that price might as well browse chinese websites and buy no name brands. There's no way you could get anything useful at that price.
Or go to eBay and get second hand ones from $150-200
As much as I’d like to buy my kids iPads, I just can’t afford it. I’ve just seen the Harvey Norman catalogue, and there’s a Neos Flek 7” 8gb tablet for $48. Any thoughts on these? Or anything else out there that might pop up in the sales?
They are just about as good… or as bad as Pendo pads.
Aldi also had or has 99 dollar tabs on sale. You could try those instead?
Lenovo Tab 3 are also 99 dollars from Officeworks.

There are currently 3 tech related coupons for Ebay, might be a good idea to search and see what comes up that could be eligible for a 5 to 20 percent discount.

Aldi had a tablet on sale yesterday for $99.99..
10.1"Are the Samsung tab A8 any good? They are $229 in target catalogue but not sure if better off paying more for an ipad
This Tab A 2016 is newer / has latest Android OS though the one I linked is 10.1 inch version.
Samsung also released a 2017 version of the Tab A 8" but it has a fairly high price tag of $300+
Surely must be a bargain somewhere in these sales but I can't find any. Any tips?
Doesn't Xiaomi have good tablets?
What is your budget? iPads are $400 now. I've tried the cheaper ones but none have really lived up to expectations, kids didnt use them as much and in the end the Ipad was superior
