Screen resolution: Deciding whether HD or FHD will suffice depends on the number of movies they'll watch or games they'll play. 4K is probably unnecessary fluff. Storage: They'll probably have more apps than you do, and may need space for downloads like offline Disney+ movies, music, or some books for school. The intensity of parental controls: It's less panic-inducing to send your kid off with a tablet when you don't have to guess what content they're absorbing. Rugged-ness: Because kids are as destructive as they are adorable and you'll definitely feel better with a case that can handle a drop or three.
