Best MP3 Players for Kids
The growing revolution in MP3 players has now resulted in products built
especially for the daycare and elementary school set. These new MP3 players
for kids are often
shockproof,
waterproof
and
durable.
Some are missing many of the features that MP3 lovers have grown accustomed to, so don’t make assumptions -- check out the features carefully in case your youngster is expecting something that they don’t actually get, including headphones. Of course, younger children can use conventional MP3 players too, so if you have an advanced youngster looking for the hippest trends, consider buying a regular MP3 player.
There is a broad range of styles in MP3 players, with memory capacity ranging from only 512MB up to 80 GB. As a rule of thumb, 8 GB of memory can hold around 1,500 to 2,000 songs. Consider the user interface of an MP3 player when choosing one for a child: is navigation clear and intuitive? Consider function as well: some MP3 players are designed to clip to an armband or belt while you exercise, while other models are better suited to tucking in your pocket for listening during a road trip. Check out battery life too – some claim to last 20 hours while others claim to last 40 hours on one set of batteries.
Generally the more you pay, the more memory and features you get. 80 GB video and music players range from $250 to $300. Less expensive MP3 players, including MP3 players for kids, start around $20 and average about 1 GB of memory.
