Tech is an inevitable part of all our lives. I swore up and down I wouldn’t let me kids see a screen till the age of two – by one my son already knew how to work an iPhone and had his own kid-friendly iPad. The surprising part? I never had an ounce of guilt about it. Screens are an inevitable part of life and when used responsibly they make all our lives better.
Whether you’re shopping for a child, a frequent flyer or a homebody, we’ve got just the tech items to make their lives easier and more enjoyable.

Fire HD 10 Kids Tablet
This tablet from Amazon says it's designed for ages 3-7, but let's be real, we've all seen babies a few months old playing around with one of these. And for good reason! We as parents need our moments of sanity and this provides that in a way we shouldn't feel guilty about as long as it's used responsibly (see Dr. Becky's take on this). Besides having a ton of child appropriate content, this tablet is very durable. It comes with a built-in protector so even if your kid throws it all over the place it won't get damaged.
