Ds is after a Switch for his birthday (November). He will be 7. He has a Kindle Fire, which is coming up 8 years old (used to be DH's). It is laggy, cracked, and the parental controls are ok, but not as good as on other devices we own. The range of apps is not as good.
Weve been putting it off for a year due, in no small part, to the price. It's ridiculous. However I need to accept that as he grows, he will choose items for his birthday that are more expensive than they were when I was young.
I know nothing about them. Is the range of games (both physical and apps) good? Do I have to attach a credit card (if so it will be an immediate no).
Are the parental controls good? Can I plug in headphones?
Switch or Switch lite?
He has been warned in advance that if he gets the switch there will be little to nothing else to open on the day.
