MiPad Kiddies from MiMate Review
I decided to get an educational tablet as her birthday present because she loves my tablet and we are always fighting for it.
So I google educational tablets for children and I got MiPad Kiddies from MiMate and it was budget friendly because I bought this one for R999.00 from Takealot.
This MiPad Kiddies from MiMate Review is to help mommies when they decide to search such a product for their kiddies. There isn’t enough options in the market.
I am happy for the tablet because its keeping her busy during the school holidays. It is also a learning opportunity for her too because I told her she is responsible for it, she has to make sure it does not crack.
Packaging
I love the packaging its brightness and showcases the different colours they over on their cover which is 4 colours. The quality of the box amazing MiMate has done a fabulous job on the packaging it’s something you will be drawn if it was on an electronic store shelf.
Features
The product is pre-loaded with a lots of games and educational game.
Built in with Children’s software
Child friendly interface
Android 4.4 Operating System
High Resolution Dual Camera
Full length displays IPS screen
Uses Wi-Fi
Accessories
In the box toy also find Headphones, Charger, USB cable, Free USB Reader etc.
Abeerah’s Opinion: She loves it and she said it has a lot of things to do like colouring book, keyboard. Loves the pick cover it came with. In her words its fabulous.
My opinion: I love that it keeps my daughter away from my tablet (Smile), I love the packaging and cover makes it easy for children to handle. I love its pre- loaded with enough games and learning material. I am just disappointed with the quality of the camera as my daughter loves taking photos.
This was my MiPad Kiddies From MiMate Review, totally worth the price and my daughter is happy having fun and leaning at the same time.

My daughter is one and already is showing an interest in this type of media (how scary is that!) I’m trying to wait as long as possible before I start introducing all these new things! What age was your daughter when you begun to let her play with your own tablet?

Hi Stacey
Your daughter she is too young to introduce her to tablets, my daughter she is 7 years old and it was a birthday girl but started playing with mine just before she turned 6 last year.:-) 🙂 let her experience life as a child like playing with Lego building blocks. Of course she will be curious just delay her as much as you can 🙂 🙂
Claire Henderson
Very cool! I have been thinking about getting one for my niece and you might have just convinced me to purchase one for her Xmas! 🙂

Hi Claire

Kaye
How fab does this look. I think technology is a way of life now and our kids are bound to be curious so things like this that bridge the gap are great. Thanks for linking up to #MarvMondays. Kaye xo

I like that there are so many learning games for kids now. They can get used to technology and the responsibility of having one too. The games now are really good at teaching kids, shapes, math, reading. It’s so accessible! Hope she continues to learn and love it!
Kay

Hi Kay
You niece will get bored easily this table it is more from 5 years to 7 years old. Its full of foundation phase learning material. Get something suitable for her age, check takealot they always have awesome things of special☺

Thank you my 3 yr old is desperate for her own tablet, I saw this but worried it would not be enough for her but if your daughter is happy with it after using yours it sounds perfect.

It will be perfect for a 3 years old. Its fun and full of educational games. My daughter loved it a lot and now she is 8 years old.

I just found your review now, is there any way you could please advice how I switch between the kids desktop and the parent desktop? I’m getting no luck with Google. TIA

Hi Kim
Hi
We gave the tablet away. There use to be an icon you click and it takes you to the kiddies side.
Have you tried their website?

Hi
I bought this device in November, I gave my daughter on Christmas day. She used it till the 31st December and stopped working. it wouldnt even turn on.
What can be done to help?
Moipone
Hi Joyce
Did you register the devise for warranty? I suggest you do on their website and contact them regarding the problem you are facing.
http://www.mimateproducts.com/warranty.php
When registered online you are covered by 6 months warranty from the manufacturer. Act now and all the best.

My 3yr old got one for her birthday last week, omg she loves it.
And it also keeps her busy and quiet in the car. I love the fact that it’s educational, as she loves numbers, shapes and colour. Oh, and games too 🙂
Moipone
Hi Chantal
It sure keeps the little ones busy. Also remember to register online for the warranty.
Thankyou for reading 😚

Hi Moipone,
I have an issue with MiPad because my daughter got hers for her birthday in December would for a while.Has educational games,absolutely love it and it just stopped working.It wouldnt switch on.Her father took it back in January and it was gone for over 1 month.She got it back in March,actually she was given a brand new one and now the one she’s had for 1 and a half month is faulty.Which is rather disappointing.It’s the 1st of May 2018 in the morning and it’s doing the same thing.
Moipone
Hi Patience
I do feel you lr fustration, take back you should still be covered btly warranty request a new one and if the 3rd one gives same ish. Request a refund.
My daughter loved the tablet because of the educational aspectof it but when it starts to give issues it can be disappointing.
Phindi
Hi Moipone
The tablet just stopped working, it wouldn’t switch on I took it for repairs and when it came back all the apps and games are gone.
How can I get them back?
Moipone
Hi Phindi
Have tried calling the supplier on CNS Markerting 011 262 2851/2/3/4 and ask them for assistance.
PHINDI
Hi Moipone
I spoke to a very friendly guy at CNS marketing and he gave us a brand new tablet. a few days later it fell, there was a crack on the “ON /OFF button then the battery slowly started swelling. looks like we need to purchase a new one as my 3 year old really enjoyed using kiddies You tube.
