Cheap kids' tablet recommendation please- fire too small!

Our trusty Hudl is dying, won't hold its charge. A new battery will be £30, which seems pointless as it's 4 years old. Can anyone recommend a good kids tablet please? I was all set to buy the Fire, but looked at it yesterday and it does seem disappointingly small in comparison.

Thank you- would be used for games and apps for a 6 yr old, so reasonable memory but doesn't need to be amazing.

Why do you think the kindle is too small , intjink it's the perfect size for dc. Could you have a play with one?

  • I think.

I did have a play- I was fully set to buy one! My son thought it was smaller though, and I agree. Screen is same width as Hudl, but narrower. It just seemed really small!

I know it sounds so spoilt 😃

But hard to convince him that a smaller screen is better

This is good value refurbished iPad mini from the Apple Store comes with one year warranty boxes etc. I have bought one in the past you would never know it wasn't new.

It's not so much cheap though as good value.
