Pebble Gear has launched its new Disney themed range of tablets in Australia, alongside the Big W Toy Mania sale. The tablet aims to keep the little ones entertained for hours while offering peace of mind for parents and guardians with robust content restrictions and controls.
You can also get screen protectors and carry bags for the tablet, and these are discounted by 20 per cent during the Big W Toy Mania sale. The sheer number of included apps is impressive and will provide plenty of entertainment time for the kids.
You can also set screen time limits using the parental controls – which are much more straightforward than other children-orientated tablets like the LeapFrog LeapPad (also more cost-effective). You can also purchase a themed screen protector and carry bag which will help ‘child-proof’ the tablet that little bit extra.
The power button and volume rocker are tucked away on the side of the device, and are very easy for little fingers to access, and operate. I’ve used the parental controls to set up different screen and playtimes during the week versus the weekend, and it was very simple to do this on the initial first load of the tablet. The Pebble Gear tablets feature no advertisements or in-app purchases to protect against unwanted content and charges.
Laser (Australian distributor of Pebble Gear) provided this publisher with a loan device for testing purposes.

FAQs
How does the content filtering work so my child can safely use the tablet? Does the clock setting automatically adjust itself when Daylight Savings Time changes on the Pebble Gear™ Kids Tablet? The clock is automatically searching your time zones by the Wi-Fi connection, so you never have to set it up. An information box _x0003_will appear asking you to confirm that you want to fully reset the tablet to its original state.

Pebble Gear Disney kids tablet (Frozen tablet) review – Pickr
Keeping the kids entertained isn’t always easy, and sometimes the books, toys, balloons for Keepy Uppy, and watching the TV just may not cut it. You’d have what Laser is bringing into Australia with the Pebble Gear Disney tablet, which offers an intriguing idea for parents looking for a quick fix for their kids. If you have savvy kids, stock Android can be easy, or you can alternatively grab a launcher of another kind, though that might require some skills on the part of the parent, as well. You’ll find a dual-core processor here under a 7 inch screen alongside 16GB storage, a microSD slot, a mediocre 2 megapixel rear camera with a 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and a version of Android, though it doesn’t really matter which version, because you won’t be using it like a standard Android tablet.
Go through the setup, and you’ll quickly see why the tablet is so different, asking you to select times for your children and to passcode protect the parental settings, which will designate the apps they can use. While the Pebble Gear tablet is actually a neat option for kids, it doesn’t come without its fair share of problems, and worse, you might not realise it until you’re a year in or have read this review.
Laser tells us that anything you download is yours even after the subscription is over, so if you nab some ad-free games on the store before the 12 months is over, you’ll keep them forever on this specific tablet. Not that you’ll probably want to, as this is focus on kids, but it’s pretty much the apps and games from the GameStore Junior store, a limited safe web browser that forces you to whitelist websites you like… and that’s it. That means there’s no obvious way to watch Disney movies, TV shows, and shorts on a device that seriously would be ideal for it. From the get-go, you’ll program in the times you want your kids to be able to play with the tablet, but the software goes deeper than that. The browser is very tightly controlled from the beginning, and you’ll need to whitelist any websites that aren’t Disney or a handful of others, but it’s there if you need to. The Pebble Gear tablet is downright limited in comparison, with nowhere near the amount of apps, and not a single music and video service to speak of.
It is not remotely the same tablet, but it does come with upsides, including not having to buy a single app or game for the first year, plus having the easiest setup for parents and kids.
PEBBLE GEAR DISNEY KIDS TABLET REVIEW: OUTSTANDING VALUE, …
But slap a rubberised protective case around it in the theme of your kids favourite Disney movie and you might just be onto something. It’s a brilliant partnership with Disney and it’s coming to Big W this month in their annual mega Toy Sale.
You verify your email address with a code you are sent, then you enter a child’s name, and set screen time limits. The child’s login button and profile has a green ring around it to show how much time they have left in their day.
Pebble Gear Mickey and Friends kids tablet review
The Pebble Gear Mickey and Friends kids tablet is an enjoyable bundle that delivers what it promises: plenty of apps, ebooks and games for young Disney fans. If you want a safe, controlled environment for your kids to indulge in hundreds of carefully curated apps, then this is the gift to get for them this Christmas. We like the smooth texture which looks like a cross between rubber and expanded polystyrene and it earns extra points for how comfortable it is to hold.
The screen has a polarising filter built-in as standard to, according to the vendor, “protect young eyes from prolonged exposure to harsh blue light”.
In case you wondered, that’s very much what can be found inside the Amazon Fire 7 tablet, which costs £44.99 but doesn’t come with all the mod cons. This is not a normal review so don’t expect a performance rating; the value of the Pebble Gear Mickey and Friends kids tablet resides more in the overall package than in its individual hardware components.
The store contains some well known names like Rayman and Pacman but just bear in mind that the tablet only comes with 12-months access to Gamestore Junior. Setting it up requires a bit more focus than your usual Android registration as it includes deciding on how strict (or lax) parental controls should be.
You also get a lifetime subscription to a so-called safe browser called Kiddoware and the ability to see at a glance how long your little one has been playing, reading, watching and learning. The issue is that you will end up with a half-baked solution that will neither fit your budget nor your child’s dream of having a Disney-branded tablet.
Yes, it is limited and yes you don’t get as much flexibility as a normal Android tablet but that was never its original aim and the relatively low price point proves it.
Disney Kids airBook Android 9 GO Tablet Review
I’m not opposed to sharing, but just like my computer, there are games and apps on my tablet I don’t want my kids to play with or use until they are older. The fact that it comes pre-loaded with Disney content is a huge plus, and included headphones are pretty great too.
It’s available in pink or blue, has a 7-inch IPS Screen that’s the perfect size for little hands, and it’s protected by a foam case.
The only sticking point is that Google will ask you for a credit card to add to your child’s account. If you don’t want to monitor your child, you can just skip adding an account for him or her and utilize the tablet as is. If you do opt for Family Link you can add your child’s account to the tablet and remotely monitor them via an app on your phone.
You set different restrictions and schedules for your child, and if he or she wants to download an app, you’ll have to enter your own Google password for them to access it. You’ll get a notification on your own phone that they’ve downloaded it, and you can see how long they played or set a timer for the tablet to turn off. From the second you open the home screen to scrolling through the apps, it’s clear this is a Disney-themed tablet. The wallpaper is hidden Mickey’s, and the tablet comes pre-loaded with 25 kid’s books that are based on Disney movies. The Disney Kids airBook also comes with a bunch of cool stickers your child can use to decorate his or her tablet. The Disney Kids airBook comes pre-packaged in case that still feels quite light, but it should buffer the tablet if it hits the ground.
I love knowing what apps my son is trying to download, and it’s so easy to limit his tablet time to a few hours every day or have it turn off at bedtime. The Disney Kids airBook would make a great gift for your son or daughter, and you’ll love how you get your own tablet back too.
TCL TAB Disney Edition review: For younglings who love Disney
On the other hand, children may struggle to have their own, especially if their mother or father does not want shattered screens or dents. A rubber bumper cover is attached, so you don’t have to worry about damages for parents seeking something safe.
The 8″ FHD screen provides plenty of space for them and you to watch things, but enough about specs.
The TCL TAB Disney Edition is designed for toddlers and young children.
The device has an 8″ display, a robust bumper casing to protect it from accidental drops, and enough storage for all those crazy images your child may take. For adults, Disney-themed apps will keep your youngsters entertained for hours, so take your time getting everything done around the house.
OS Android 11 Display 8″ FHD (1200 × 1920) TFT IPS Processor Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 665 (SDM6125) Octa-core processor (4 x Gold 2.0 GHz, 4 x Silver 1.8 GHz) Storage 32GB (expandable up to 256GB) Memory 3GB Camera Front: Kids tablets are a niche product that not everyone requires or desires for their children. The case is Enchanting Blue in color and strong enough to withstand any drops that may occur.
Those who use a strap to wrap the tablet over their child’s wrist may like the daisy chain loop.
The design is adorable and should capture any child’s interest, particularly if they are major Disney fans. While some tablets have larger screens, TCL’s TAB Disney Edition boasts an 8-inch FHD (1200 × 1920) TFT display.
Colors like reds, blues, and yellows are similar; they are good but not outstanding. Videos on YouTube, Netflix, or any other streaming provider are acceptable; however, the pixels are visible, as previously said. Despite its modest size and intended audience, this tablet has good internal specifications. It includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 665 mobile CPU, 32GB of internal storage, upgraded with a MicroSD card, and 3GB of RAM.
I had to turn up the volume about halfway to feel confident that I could hear what I was watching. In landscape mode, depending on how you hold the tablet, the sound will be covered by your right or left hand.
The video quality captured by the rear-facing camera is 1080 @ 30fps, which isn’t horrible and pretty normal now. That included turning off the tablet after using it, watching videos, and playing games.
Standby time will get you a good solid week with slow battery depletion, but that can vary depending on how often you use the device.
Fast charging at 18W is an excellent feature to have included with the TAB, but it did not feel like it was fully utilizing its capability. It includes a Disney theme, games, movie playback, and cameras for taking goofy images. Any parent looking at TCL’s TAB Disney Edition might feel relieved that if they buy this tablet, it will be able to resist spills and stumbles.
