Gift Ideas for my 15 month old son

[Premera]

Hi all, I am asking your suggestions ( useful ones ) in determining a gift for my son. He is 15 months old but is intellectually a bit for advanced than his age.

I was kinda set on getting him one of those battery operated cars ( remote controlled also ) for approx. 1500 plus BUT

I got turned off by the fact that NO WARRANTY applies on those products ad various sellers across T&T and also, I saw a lot of them mounted BUT were told they were not working ?

I was considering a tablet for him but not sure if it would be the best idea for him at his tender age ( I observed the loss of social skills with another child using a tablet/phone to play games in a salon and could not converse with any other child there )

He has a zillion stuffed toys, plastic cars, trucks etc etc.

I really need some good suggestions at this point.

Thanks as always all..........................INCLUDING YOUR OPINION PIOS.......

I'd say get him anything he wants, just for being smarter than his parents.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........the great pios has arrived............now we all gonna have a great week ahead....

Thanks you Pios for blessing my post with your inspirational words...........rofl

On a more serious note, I am not really an Apple product lover.........

My preferences are Samsung, Toshiba, LG etc etc....

Any of these brands carries tablets similar to the ipad in terms of memory, ram, processor speeds etc etc ?

Galaxy Tab 3 8".

Not sure where you can get one at a good price two days before Christmas though. Courts had but the price was a bit ridiculous.

Check wizz, supertech, any computer or tech store for galaxy tab, there's a store upstairs Charrans mall in Chaguanas named Roc Boyz that may also have tabs

To be honest, those "ride ons" tend to be too cheaply built.

If you want something of quality, then get something from fisher price, you can get locally at Toy Mart.
Or you can import, just not in time for this year's Christmas.

The tablet is cool, but with a 15 month, I think you will need it replaced soon as chances of falling will be on the high side.

Get him something that can keep him active, both physically and mentally.
Kids in this generation are opened to far more advanced technology and they also have tons of other cool games available.

I'm with moti on this one..
I don't know any toddler that will not have an accident with a tablet. Not a good gift idea.

As he gets older, it is inevitable that he will get interested in technology though, so his time for tablets, smartphones, etc is yet to come. Stave it off for a bit.

For right now, get him games and toys that will encourage him to go outside, balls, tricycles, etc. As parents we tend to opt for the game/toy that will keep them quiet the longest. But what we should be doing is looking for those toys and games that will include us and that way we are also forced to go outside and play.

[ruffneck_12]

Give him something he can use to express himself with. Like something that he can use to develop his creativity.

eg. legos, sandbox, big ass white board, etc

big ass white board, etc

Have this, gave it to my son when he was around 20 months.
He is over 3 (not yet 4) and loves to write, color & draw.

However the i pad gets more attention now
He still writes on the pad, plus books and what not.

[MonsterPower]

get him a "my baby can read series" its a dvd with the alphabet and numbers ..repeat it till he is older .

My bro in law got it for my nephew and been playing it in the van anywhere they went as well as home and now he is 3 and can speak well as well as do things alot of kids his age cannot do .

As for the tablet get an ipad or nuttin , however not at his age ,maybe at 2 or so there are more than a ton of free apps that he can use to learn stuff . Only reason i said ipad is because they do make a lifeproof case for them that will stand up to some abuse .

My daughter has been using an ipad since she was 7 months old, i have a lifeproof case on it but she never drops it or damages it in anyway, she is now 15 months old.

My son has been using a full sized ipad a year now (he was not 2 yet when he started). Must be supervised play. it is not a baby sitter. "As parents" "we" do not look for the toy that will keep him the quiet longest, but the ones that will stimulate and encourage intellectual and physical development, with a good fun factor.

I agree, lego is a good idea.

A tab or Ipad for a 15mth old child, thats sending a wrong message in my opinion.

[14lover]

Bought my 3yr old daughter a kids tablet,its tough and can handle jamming..can use a sd mem card so it full of kids videos and stuff also has cameras and wifi, and i bought my 2yr old son a leap frog tablet with games and learning progs..both tabs are made tough so they can withstand force,an ipad is a no no..to fragile and expensive..
