My daughter is approaching 3 and my wife has suggested a tablet either as a birthday or Christmas present, and I’m a bit hesitant. It’d be great for long trips, but I think as a day-to-day thing it might be a distraction. It’d get Spidey and Friends off the telly though. How and when did you handle this?

    We offer limited TV time and have a tablet for travel but it’s pretty limited to travel. IMO just make sure to disable auto play and set reasonable limits. At toddler you should watch with them and not just zone out. Ask them question, interact while watching.
