Tablet for kids - All information at a glance

If it is important to you that your children surf the Internet safely, there are various tablets that have been specially developed for children. Alternatively, you can also child-proof a regular tablet with the right settings and apps.

How to set up your tablet for kids

Since Android 4.3, you can create a separate user account for your kids on the tablet. To do this, open the device's settings and create a profile with limited user rights under "Users". Once you have created the profile, you can then specify which of the installed apps should be available in restricted mode. Alternatively, a tablet can also be childproofed with special apps like "Kids Place" or "KIDO'Z". These apps have the advantage that they block certain websites and a usage time can be set.
