With the rapid advancement of technology, it’s not far-fetched to imagine that tablets will eventually replace books and printed school materials. It’s also possible that babies will be born into a world where they already have access to social media platforms, video streaming services, and digital devices like tablets. In such a world, it’s important to choose the right tablet for children, and the Vinci, a touchscreen device designed specifically for babies and toddlers up to 3 years old, could be the perfect choice. The Vinci, which can be received through the monthly subscription service of 123 Baby Box, provides a safe and age-appropriate digital environment for young children to explore and learn from.

This unit helps them learn everything about the world and builds up their curiosity. This model was unveiled back at CES 2011 and it was launched in the first half of this year. The slate comes with a silicone handle created for the little ones’ hands, a 7 inch display, a microSD card slot and USB connectivity.

There’s also a built-in speaker and microphone, a 3 megapixel camera, but no WiFi, because the device is meant to protect the young one from radiation. Considered an active learning platform, the  Vinci Tablet shows 3D environments, such as farms and zoos, plus cartoons. These are meant to develop the emotional and social skills of the baby.

You also get music instruments, music videos with Mozart backgrounds and much more. The price of the device is $479 and the unit is found at Barnes  Noble and Skymall.
