My children love technology. They are always playing games on the computer, or watching videos on my iPad. I have been asked to do a review on the InnoTab MAX and I think it is a wonderful tablet for children!
About this Tablet:

The Learning Lodge is filled with apps, videos & music to download. I love the amount of apps that there are for my children to enjoy, and that they aren’t crazy expensive. If you also want to buy cartridges they make lots to choose from. The Learning Lodge is also very easy for parent and child to navigate. This also comes with VTech Kid Connect, which is the InnoTab version of a texting app. It essentially lets kids send messages and cute pictures to friends and family via the Kid Connect app for iOS or Android. I have the iPhone so I put the app on and my daughter and I can send text messages and cute pictures to each other!
You can also set a timer for how long they are on the internet for, and what sites they are allowed to go on. To me this is a great and safe function for young children.
The only issue that we didn’t care for, the back of the tablet seems to get very warm if my children play it for more than an hour. It only bothers them if they have the back part flat on their legs, or have their hand on the back of it. Also, make sure to do a Firmware update after you download your apps, I didn’t know to do this and my downloaded apps wouldn’t open at all until I did the update. Once I updated all was good! I also love that this comes with a wall charger. Once my kids are done playing it, I just plug it in to charge the battery.
This would be a great gift to give your child for the holidays! You can find this on Amazon for $89.99 right now. You can also add cool accessories to it such as headphones and a carry case. VtechKids also has this on sale for $84.99. This comes in color blue or pink.

My youngest son had a much older version of this and loved it back in the day! What a great way for kids to play and learn at the same time.
We bought our twins an Innotab Max last year for Christmas and they LOVE it! There are so many great features that make it a hit in my eyes too! Love that we can communicate with them through KidsConnect! They regularly use this when we’re out on a date and they’re home with the babysitter!
I love VTech products! That looks like a pretty awesome gift to give your kids for the holidays!
Looks like a great holiday gifting idea for the ‘littles’ on my list!
This looks like a great tablet for kids. I love how tough it is, and I love that we won’t have to worry about the kiddos destroying our grown up tablets.
I love that it has age appropriate apps and learning games! Kids love using tablets but I worry about them being safe online!
I especially like that the cover is removable. I wouldn’t feel funny about borrowing it to play!
This would be such a great educational toy for the holidays. It has so much longevity with all of the apps. We had a few V-tech toys for our kids and they were great!
This is a cute tablet. Vtech has suc a good reputation for kids toys.
I think this would make for a great first tablet for any child! I like how durable it looks. Even better, that the apps aren’t expensive!
My kids always had such a wonderful learning experience with their VTech products. It’s great when learning is also play. This looks like a great product!
How neat they make tablets for kids now. THis is a great way to introduce them to technology and they can play games designed for their skills and age level,.
What an adorable tablet for kids. I have quite a few friends who purchase VTech toys for their children and always have great things to say.
I’ve been eyeing this for the boychild. I’m going to have to add it to his Christmas list.
This looks really fun for smaller kids (mine are teens). We have VTech toys when they were younger too. I love that you were totally honest about your findings and shared that the tablet gets warm. Many reviews aren’t totally candid.
