This tablet is designed for kids, so it should be able to withstand everything they throw at or (or even them throwing it).

Kids are tough on tablets, and yet they still want—and even needs—one for learning and entertainment. Fortunately, there's another option for kids now with the new Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition.

Samsung announced the release of the new Galaxy Tab A9+ Kids Edition via press release on Friday. The new tablet has an 11-inch 1920 X 1200 screen, a Qualcomm chip, up to 128GB of storage with microSD card expansion capabilities, and fast charging with a 15W wall charger.

The TabA9+ Kids Edition also comes with a "puffy cover" that has a kickstand built into it, three Crayo-Pen styluses, and a couple of tethers, so you won't have to worry about the stylus getting lost.

The Samsung Kids app is pre-installed on the tablet to let parents have control over things like screen time and app downloads. Parents can also use the Kids app to monitor online activities and limit access to certain social media sites or even gaming apps. Parents can also customize the interface and add apps of their choice.
