My friend wants to get a large screen tablet for her young son so she doesn't have to share her iPad any more.
It seems the Amazon fire starts around £50 otherwise you're paying over £100. She'll need to be able to do child restrictions but she's not interested in the Vtech Innotabs as they don't have access to YouTube and he's a big Youtube addict (he's 2 fgs lol)
Any suggestions? I only have experience of the iPad, Amazon Fire HD and a brief look at the poor Blackberry playbook offering a few years ago.
If they are under £100 that's a bonus.
Thanks

My little sister has a kindle fire thing and loves it. She's 10 and uses it for iplayer, minecraft, you tube and things like that.

Yeah I was given one from work. It's OK.
I have recommended the Fire to her

How old / small is the child? Amazon Fire is now available in a "Kidz" model, with big bumper edges for extra protection.

Certainly nothing from VTech.  FWIW, the iPads at my wife's primary school seem to be surviving. More robust that you think, so you may not need to look for a specific child friendly device.

Mightydeals and Game.co.uk have sales on for refurb iPads of every description. Or there's the Hudl from Tesco.

I bought my kids a Kindle Fire Kids for Xmas when it was on offer for £79. It includes a 2 year no quibble replacement and is kid safe out of the box.
Alternatively if you have a standard Android tablet then the Famigo app is a pretty good way of restricting it.
