Toys R Us Tabeo tablet targeting kids
Hey kids, if you’re tired of bugging your parents to borrow their iPad or Kindle Fire to play “Angry Birds,” the big toy store Toys R Us thinks it has the answer.
On Monday, the company announced that its seven-inch tablet just for kids age 5 and older will be sold starting October 31.
The Tabeo will come with 50 apps already loaded including some favorite games: Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds and Cut the Rope. There also are educational apps and books.
“Over the past year, we’ve spent considerable time talking to parents and children to determine what features and functions they really want in a kids’ tablet,” said Troy Peterson of Toys R Us.
Your mom and dad may like that it will allow them to limit what time of day (and even which days) you can play. The tablet will be sold for $149.99.
In addition to the Kindle and the iPad, the Tabeo will be competing against other kid-friendly tablets, including the Meep! and Kurio kids’ tablets.
