What's the best tablet/iPad for watching iPlayer and Netflix?

We have a 12 year old iPad mini which now can't be updated any further, it's just too old. So we can no longer connect to the internet on it (using a phone as a hotspot) and watching YouTube even takes forever.

I'm looking to get a replacement, but is there a better or cheaper alternative to an iPad that does the same thing? We only use it for the kids to watch on longer car journeys, but probably once a month. As long as I can get iPlayer and Netflix on it, it will be fine!

I got kindle fire for my kids, they watch movies, iPlayer etc on it
quite robust and considerably cheaper than iPad

I was looking at the refurbished iPads, but the fire HD10 is a lot cheaper and seems to do all I need it to.
