Vtech InnoTab 3S Review and Giveaway





I was recently offered the opportunity to try the Vtech InnoTab 3S for our youngest, and it's become the new favorite electronic device in our house!

The box came in the mail and I had to hide it until after Scooter went to bed, so I'd have a chance to set it up in peace! Luckily it is super easy to set up, so I spent longer taking photos than I did getting it ready for her.

Here's a picture of everything in the box, the InnoTab 3S, directions and cd, USB cord, charging cord, game cartridge, 2 styluses (styli, however you say it), a string to attach the stylus to the InnoTab, and rechargeable batteries (which is one of the most useful features of this tab!)

My favorite things about the InnoTab 3S:

  • It's rechargeable. Seriously, all kids' electronics should be!
  • WiFi. Originally I thought it would be useless for us, since it's for our 3 year old, but we've used it quite a bit due to the next 2 items:
  • VTech Kid Connect. An app that lets kids send texts and stickers to their parents' smart phones through an app or sending them to another InnoTab 3S. Even better, YOU set up who your child is allowed to text with, so it's completely safe!
  • Kid Safe Browsing. VTech has allowed specific age-appropriate websites , and you can approve additional websites, again so it's safe.
  • The memory is expandable with an SD card! You're not limited to the size you buy :-)
  • Apps are reasonably priced. Your receive a free app download when you first set it up, and I was shocked that I had over 170 apps to choose from! Not just one or two! Once you start paying for apps they're extremely affordable, lots around $3.99!
Want more info? Check out their website here and see for yourself. They retail for less than $100, and are appropriate for ages 3-9 (although my 10 year old enjoys it too!)

Here's a video from TimeToPlayMag.com showing the InnoTab 3S features:

  1. I really like the name of your blog. I don't have kids but I am the oldest of 5 children and I think my parents probably lost some of there sanity somewhere around the third child :).
