If you really want a kid's tablet, you should check out the Nabi 2: http://www.nabitablet.com http://www.nabitablet.com It's been designed from the ground up for children ("kid mode" and "parent mode", an included rubber bumper and other attention paid to durability, kid-friendly launcher in kid mode, kid-focused app store with apps broken down by age, ...). The only big downside is that you can't get the Play Store on it (easily at least), though the Amazon Appstore isn't a problem (and most of the kid-focused apps seem to be in both). My wife and I got one for our preschooler and she absolutely loves it. To me, this is the future of kid's tablets (at least in the Android world) - targeted devices that fit into the larger ecosystem.
