Also the nabi 2 can be rooted so you can install gapps so your kid can have the play store and the build quality is great for a little one

Also the 2012 version of the 7 should be cheap right now with the new nexus 7 coming out

Also....in you search for an affordable tablet,. you will no doubt come across the cheap pandigital tablets..... typically less than $100 ..... but..... like the old saying goes.... " you get what you pay for"..... just sayin' :)

The nexus 7 is looking good. Has Google play and 32gig running on android 4.1. Rooting it would be nice so I can play my games with my sixaxis controller when she's not using it LOL. We were looking at the kindle HD but that thing has subscriptions and such for apps. The nexus is looking like it would be more suited for what she likes to do also.

Checked out the nabi 2 but all the ones I've found are $180. Pricy little sucker. My wife is talking about giving the little one her old one that's hardly used. Its s cheap one from wall mart so if it gets broken no big deal.
