One question that parents have when it comes to selecting a suitable tablet for their children is the appropriate ages that the tablet is suitable for.
The recommended age range for the LeapPad Platinum is 3-9 years old. As the Platinum is an educational tablet, and the available content is definitely linked to educational needs, children outside that age range may struggle to find suitable content. The tablet is in a purpose-built case, so it is more resistant to damage from young children, but older children may well want a more flexible design with greater recreational uses. As with children under 3 years old, children aged over 9 will also probably struggle to find content aimed at their age group too.
