My daughter hot a laptop I Frankied up for her to play her kiddie cd-roms I got her from amazon.
Got her 1st iPad at 2.
Ipod at 5
Another, newer faster and larger capacity iPad at 7.
Now she has an LG gizmo2 watch that's a self contained stand alone cell phone and GPS tracker.
She's very athletic and would stay outside all day every day if allowed.

My son, 9, and daughter, 12 have been on Tigerdroppings for a while. Their usernames are el gaucho and that crazy chick spouting off about chemtrails.

My son has had an iPad mini since he was about 10 months old.
We bought it to play videos in the car for trips at that point.
Now he uses it for educational stuff, movies, and watched YouTube Kids. He has actually learned a ton of stuff using it. We were working on the dryer the other day, and I hear him voice searching YouTube kids “ how to fix a dryer”. It was pretty awesome.
He mostly just uses it at night, sometimes in the car, and we’ll use it at a restaurant if he finishes his food before we finish ours.
Never been an issue for us, and he doesn’t just zombie out on it for hours at a time.

Ours will be 3 at the end of the month.
If he wants (and has behaved), he gets about 15 minutes on the iPad after breakfast and 30 minutes after dinner while we clean up, educational shows mostly. He can navigate the iPad, kids are smart and pick it up quick.
If we are at a restaurant and want to actually interact with each other or whoever we are there with, we give him a phone after dinner to watch. I've yet to meet a 2-5 year old that will just sit there in a chair for an hour without someone/something entertaining them.
Its hard not to use the screen as a babysitter sometimes, kids are exhausting. We try to limit it to less than hour a day (no TV at all) but sometimes it's so tempting to let him zombie out on it and be lazy.
