LeapFrog's LeapPad Ultra Tablet Brings Apps and Safe Browsing to Kids

If your kids always want to play on your iPad or Android tablet, youth educational entertainment company LeapFrog has a new kid-friendly tablet that might be a more suitable alternative for them — though you'll have to wait until later this summer.

The new LeapPad Ultra tablet is recommended for kids ages 4 to 9, and the device works with LeapFrog's library of games and apps. It's more than just a toy and more like a pared-down version of a grown-up tablet, complete with a seven-inch screen, stylus or touch response, front and back cameras and 8 GB of storage space.

The tablet includes the "LeapSearch by Zui" kid-safe web browser, so parents might be able to worry a bit less about their children stumbling on the wrong website. LeapSearch includes videos, images and websites that are kid-approved by LeapFrog's team of learning experts. Parents can also use a four-digit security to change various parental controls, and they can also sync content directly to their child's LeapPad Ultra via a Wi-Fi connection. The available content includes more than 800 games, apps, eBooks, videos and music that pertain to topics like math, science, reading and creativity.
