My daughter is approaching 3 and my wife has suggested a tablet either as a birthday or Christmas present, and I’m a bit hesitant. It’d be great for long trips, but I think as a day-to-day thing it might be a distraction. It’d get Spidey and Friends off the telly though. How and when did you handle this?

    My kids, millennials, got their PCs when they were in their early teens, similar to how I, GenX, bought my own Amiga500 with cash I earned as a paperboy.

    I’d probably get my kid a tablet when she enters primary school if I were to start again, but not a toddler. Pretty sure it has bad side effects for the brain at that age.
