    As an educator and grandparent, I wonder why anyone would think that an iphone should be in the hands of an infnt or toddler. The case is not the solution. The laugh and learn Smart Phone, ages 6 to 36 months, is. The child has his/her own phone with appropriate “apps” for developmental learning and you saved 3 dollars.

    I am inclined to agree with Gail however with the world moving toward more and more digital content how long until we see iPhone aps for babies…?
