As a mom of a hyperactive 4-year-old, I've tested my fair share of kids' tablets. The PRITOM tablet caught my eye with its educational promises and rugged design. Here's the real scoop after daily use.

The parental controls are LEGIT. I love how I can set time limits per app - no more endless YouTube rabbit holes. The iWawa learning apps surprised me; my kid actually asks to 'play' the math games. The AR Zoo feature where animals pop up in our living room? Absolute magic for bedtime stories.

That said, the lag is REAL when switching between apps. We've had those frustrating 5-minute boot-up moments too (protip: keep it charged above 20%). The screen brightness quirk is annoying - we just leave it at 50% now. But for $100? My kid has dropped this off the kitchen table at least six times thanks to that shockproof case, and it still works like a champ.

Battery life gets about 4 hours with videos - decent for car trips but pack a charger. The cameras are potato-quality (expect blurry pet photos), but my kid doesn't care. Would I buy again? For younger kids (3-6) absolutely, but tech-savvy 8+ year olds might outgrow it quickly.
