What age did you get your kid a tablet? (lemm.ee)

My daughter is approaching 3 and my wife has suggested a tablet either as a birthday or Christmas present, and I’m a bit hesitant. It’d be great for long trips, but I think as a day-to-day thing it might be a distraction. It’d get Spidey and Friends off the telly though. How and when did you handle this?

My kids don't even know what a tablet is. They aren't ever getting one unless they save up and buy one.

What will your kid do if she doesn't have one? Talk and play?

You seem like the type to take tablet use to the other extreme.
