Lenovo Tab 10.1-inch 4GB 64GB Wi-Fi (TB311FU, ZAEH0206AU)
- It is sold new at JB Hi-Fi and Big W with Lenovo's Australian warranty.
- Google Family Link lets you set time limits and approve apps.
- Download shows at home onto its 64GB or a microSD card, and it works with no internet.
Also fine: Lenovo Tab One 8.7-inch 64GB if you want a smaller 8.7 inch tablet and can spend a bit more than $200.
The unpaid alternative
Use an old phone you already have. Download shows, audiobooks and games at home first. Your library may offer free kids' audiobooks through the Libby or BorrowBox apps.

How we decided
We compared tablets that Australian stores sell new with a local warranty. We chose the one that drops under $200 on sale and has proper parental controls. On 13 November 2026 we checked the pick, its model number and its prices at JB Hi-Fi, Big W and Mobileciti. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 in the first draft is no longer sold by major Australian stores, so we swapped to the Lenovo Tab. We also checked the Lenovo Tab One at JB Hi-Fi and Officeworks.
In Australian shops: $149 to $349 when we checked. This is not Amazon's price. Prices move, so check before you buy.
