If your granddaughter uses her parent's ipads and likes it so much that she wants only an ipad for her then you can buy an ipad for her.

If she is not particular about ipad and only interested in having a good tablet, then you can get her an android based tablet. The market is full of very good models with good prices.

You can find out your grand daughter's choice and buy accordingly.

If she's used to an iPad then dont consider getting her anything else, I have lots of different tablets here and the iPads feel far superior.

Kids are all about image. They want an iwhatever because Suzie and Johnny both have them. Getting the ipad is the safe choice as I don't believe kids care to research options much they just run with the pack. That being said the ipad from what I hear it is a very good product even if crazy expensive.
