Tablet for streaming only (for 4YO!)

When we go away, DD sometimes wakes up super early, and I will let her watch a film on the old iPad. This is now obsolete and I can’t do anything with it, which means I am looking for a replacement.

It will be ‘my’ tablet that she ‘borrows’ to watch a film on, and it will be when we go for a long weekend somewhere so maybe 3-4 times a year. We won’t be using it for anything else, or at least I have no plans to. Super occasionally maybe I would watch something in bed, but not sure how likely that is in reality.

I don't want to spend loads, but I don’t want to buy something rubbish either. Does anyone have a recommendation, given the likely infrequent use and just for streaming?

Thank you!

I have a kids Amazon fire we use for travel and is otherwise not used.

It’s fine. You can buy for about £60.

Get her a yoto and she can listen to audio books.

I'd go for an amazon fire kids tablet. I've seen a growing number of parents reintroducing portable DVD players as an alternative option too!
