This tablet has an andriod operating system installed on it so whatever apps that are in the play store can be used on this netbook. Many inexpensive tablets do not have the google play store installed on it so putting apps on the tablet would be a task. Basically anything you get on your andriod device can be used on this tablet. 3D games handle pretty good on this tablet for the price and you can download the kindle app for books or use the play store. Parental locks I'm not 100 percent about but I'm sure there is an app for that too.

I have to agree with epicfail, this is not a tablet for a child. My wife loves it, but still finds it difficult to navigate as it doesn't always process her 'finger pressure' when selecting or worse it selects when she's trying to scroll. The Kindle has build-in parental controls, but again depending on the age of the child, I'd stay away from the more sensitive tablets and readers.

Would NOT recommend this for a child. Or anyone for that matter. As we posted in our review it is out right Dangerous, then add in that from what we could tell Google will remove any other market and apps not their own so you are strictly limited to Their Market...at their Prices for any apps, games or ebooks. It is a delicate piece of electronics, more so than other brands of tablets.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Honestly, I don't remember how many games it came with, but it came with some. I bought it for my grandnephews last year and they are very young, so they don't need additional learning materials right now. I do hope that helps.

Everything we've gotten has been from VTech. They said you should be able to download others, but when we tried, it didn't work. The VTech ebooks, games, and music apps have all been good, but the number of items currently the "rage" with children are limited. While our child has played some of them a few times and we use it for parts of home schooling, they haven't been something that he plays repeatedly as he has others on my husband's tablet.

There are none of those capabilities. This is basically a bilingual leap frog with very basic games for toddlers. It's just a toy lap top.

Not that I was aware of.There isn't really a way to play a game on here. I imagine its only the touch screen ereaders that would allow you to play games on them because this only has directional buttons to move text,change a movie or show, or turn the page,etc....I was never able to find a way to upload a game on to mine(you can only upload stuff onto this one,it doesn't have a connection to the internet to download things onto it.

So long as your child is respectful of electronics I don't see why not. Like anything, abused hard enough and it could break. My only recommendation is that you do not save the password to your Google play account or wifi to the tablet so you have control over what gets downloaded and their Internet access.

Off hand, No. I can't list the games, however, there are quite a few games and it is extremely enjoyable. You have to play to unlock future games. When you gain enough points or charms, it allows you to open a new game. You will like it.

If the price is still around 64 or cheaper it's not bad at all I bought it and used it for a bit then my coworker asked about it and ended up selling it to him for his daughter which he was in the same shoes you are in and for my understanding his daughter loves it and she is about 12 years old I believe plays games and reads books of it! For the time I used it it worked well.

For any kid who is less than 4 yr old the attention span is just few minutes. If they find out they cannot play any game they lose interest in that right away. I would suggest get some cheap plug n plays for 3 yr olds and then get a more expensive one like VSMILE or LMAX or even GAMEBOY when they become 4 yr olds. Maybe by then you might find more variety to choose from

Yes, it does have music and games. My granddaughters have really enjoyed it.

I use it for school. If you wanna carry a game system you will not have enough space for your books. It is big but not that much, just a little. By the way i bought it about a year ago and now there are some thread came out from everywhere

LG comes with an app for games and you can even download games and save them. You can play some games from some sites too but it could be a little bit difficult to play using the the magic remote. But like I said before you can download games for kids using the "Games App" and play them using the magic remote.

I had my one year old home, who is very busy and needed help with things and I missed some stuff. if you have the ability to keep them occupied with a movie or game in a different room that would be best, there is some content that isn't really child appropriate.

There are lots of great games for ALL ages. I have 1000+ games on mine. Feel ree to contact me if you need any help. Best of luck to you!

Yes, I allowed my 2-year-old daughter to use it for reading books and coloring. It's a simple tablet and easy to navigate. If allowing a small child to use it, I would disconnect the wifi as my daughter loves to shop in the app store ;)

My children are older, but we have downloaded several games from the google play store. I checked and there are some games there for toddlers that are free. I would advise going there first and see if there are any games you feel would be appropriate for your child before purchasing the ValuePad. If so, then I would recommend this unit. As your child grows, so will the options available and the price is not so much that you would have to worry about a young child handling it.
