[quote=Anonymous]We have a family Switch. Our kids are mixed gender 6-14. We have a lot of fun with it. They can use it as a personal handheld while traveling only, or they can play it together at home - my older two (dds) don't usually feel like it (though they have some single player games they like to play when we are traveling), but when they babysit ds they will play Mario Kart and similar games with him. I like that it is interactive.

We are also very tech limited (my 13 yo just got a phone but no internet, etc., and she is limited to 20 mins per day). They each have a Kindle Fire they can use when traveling (we travel a lot because grandparents/cousins are an 8 hour drive and we see them often; we also take a lot of trips since we live in the middle of nowhere). The Switch has been fun and relatively easy for the kids to turn off without too much fuss. Ds (the 6 yo) had a few times where he got upset about being done playing but we just make sure to be clear about the expectations and consequences and he does fine now for the most part.
