    Hi. Im after a bit of advise.

    My son is nearly 9 years old and im trying to sway him away from an Xbox to a tablet.
    I think using a tablet with simple android games and maybe reading and educational apps maybe better than hours in front of the family tv with a games controller in his hands.

    Im not sure about spec on these devises but have spent an hour looking around at options . Its come down to 3 options i think.

    1st. The Moshi Monsters 7" tablet. 150euro

    2nd. The Nabi tablet 200euro

    3rd. An adult tablet . Say the samsung Tab 2 7" 250euro+

    The Samsung im sure has the best specs but wont last to long in the hands of my son.
    I like the Nabi but maybe be a bit childish for my lad. It looks like he is at the top end of its age range.
    I like the look of the moshi monster one as he likes that brand of toy and it has children safe internet software.

    But before I part with the cash, I thought getting advise would benefit me.
    Santas pockets are not bottomless this year . He needs to get the best bang for his buck.
