The VTech Innotab Max

I received an Innotab MAX from VTech for review purposes.  All thoughts and opinions are 100 percent  my own.

It’s that time of the year! Have you started shopping for Christmas?  Are you done?  Have you even started thinking about gift ideas for your family?  Is a tablet for the kids on your radar?

I recently received an Innotab MAX and my kids are loving it!  It’s really a great gift idea.  It’s aimed at kids aged 3-9 years.   Mine are 5 and 7 and its perfect for both of them!

The Innotab Max is  VTech’s 4^th generation kids’ learning tablet and it features the fastest processor yet!   This 7″ multi touch tablet gives kids best of both learning worlds with access to more than 650 educator-endorsed, age and stage appropriate learning titles as well as educational Android apps that can be purchased and downloaded through VTech’s Learning Lodge® app store.  We have not ever had a Vtech toy that we haven’t enjoyed actually.

Here are some of my favorite features the Innotab MAX!

1. The tablet comes with 18 apps already on it.  They are good ones, too, like Kid Connect, My Magic Beanstalk, Movie Maker, Art Studio, Wonder Cam Max, E-Reader with Story Dictionary and more.  It also comes with one free Toca Boca app and two additional free apps of your choice that can be downloaded from the Learning Lodge.  So it’s easy to get all the apps you need.

2. I love the built-in rechargeable Lithium battery!  Buying batteries for toys stinks!

3. The parental controls easily allow me to manage the apps and the kids web access.  And best of all I can manage tablet time!  I love this feature.  YAY!  There is even a progress log to track their progress.

4. There’s a handy slot for a microSD card so I can easily expand the memory.  I can download way more than the 8GB of internal storage that it comes with.  I would also use this feature to download some of the kids favorite things to play when there’s no wi-fi connection.

5. The kid-safe Wi-Fi is great, too.   I don’t have to worry as the kids explore online games, videos and websites that are appropriate and have been pre-selected by VTech.

6. The cover and the handle make it easy to carry around and help protect it.  This thing is durable.

7. The VTech Kid Connect™ app is so fun!   It allows children and parents to exchange voice and text messages, photos, drawings and fun stickers in real time between the tablet and a smartphone.   My 7 year old loves this.  She got a kick out of this feature.   Coming in December there will be a new Family Bulletin feature that allows you to post messages, photos, and more.  It looks FUN!

I think this is a super learning tool and a great tablet for kids.  They really do have have fun while learning.  It’s a tablet marketed for kids, so know it’s not exactly like a full-featured adult tablet.  There is a little lag in response time compared to my tablet….but the kids don’t notice.  They love it!
