The Galaxy Tab A11+ Kids Edition takes second place because it is a full Samsung tablet with kid gear added, so it will not feel like a toy when your child turns 10. Samsung lists an 11-inch 1920 by 1200 display, 128GB of storage and up to 15 hours of video playback, and promises up to seven generations of OS and security upgrades. In the box are a shock-absorbing case with a carry handle that now works upright or sideways, an improved Crayo-Pen with a tether, stickers and a setup guide, plus six weeks of ABCmouse. Samsung Kids comes preloaded: parents create a PIN, and it controls screen time, app access, contacts and content. Exiting the kids space needs the PIN. The trade-off is setup, because the tablet starts as a normal Android device and parents must open Samsung Kids themselves. At $349.99 it costs more than Amazon's kids tablets, though it includes double their storage.

Who it is for

Families who want a full Android tablet that a child can grow into, with a kids case and pen in the box.
