The Best Phones For Kids Indian Users Can Buy In 2020

We all know that kids should not watch TV or use smartphones too early and too much so that their physical and mental health won’t get bad effects. Experts say that kids under five should only have a maximum of 1 hour of watching TV or using a smartphone or tablet a day. The fact is that children now use and have their first smartphones quite early, around 10 years old, according to the 2016 Digital Trends Study of Influence Central and the average age may have changed. However, you don’t need to wait until your kids become teenagers to buy them cellphones. These are some of the best phones for kids if you're looking to buy one.

James Banta, home security and safety expert, thinks that it is not really the best way for every family to wait that long. When the kids have a cellphone, parents can feel more comfortable when they are not with them. Parents can know how the kids are when they are at school, during vacations, and especially in emergencies. Besides, kids are often more interested in technology and smartphones.

Banta also says that if you are thinking about letting your kids have their own cellphones, you should consider the cost, battery, functions, design, and some other factors.
Smartphones can be very expensive, so letting kids have a new iPhone is really a risk, even adults can sometimes drop their phones while using or forget their phones at the café or restaurant. So, check out our list of best phones for kids.
