5 Ways to Childproof Your iPad
1. Invest in a Hardy Casing
Investing in a sturdy casing is the first step in protecting your child’s iPad from drops, spills, and other accidents. And when choosing a casing, note that a good casing should not only be durable but also lightweight and comfortable to hold.
However, we at LYK Repair understand that sometimes even a good iPad casing might not suffice in protecting the gadget from all the hard hits and accidental spills. This is why we provide an extensive selection of iPad repair services, including iPad water damage repairs. And in case of any other accidents, we also offer the necessary services to fix iPad screens at a reasonable cost.
2. Apply a Screen Protector
The benefits of a screen protector in preventing scratches, cracks, and other damage to the iPad screen cannot be overstated. Screen protectors are affordable and easy to apply, making them an essential component in childproofing an iPad.
But just like the casing, even the most suitable and well-fitted screen protector for your iPad cannot protect it from all the mishaps. So, what can you do when your kid’s iPad screen breaks or cracks after a hard fall? Look no further than LYK Repair because we also provide iPad, iPad Pro, and iPad Mini screen repair services to get your tablet looking new again! And by fixing the broken screen with us, you can rest assured that sharp glass shards will never prick your kid’s little fingers.
3. Enable Parental Controls
Parental controls are a must-have for any parent who wants to ensure their child’s safety while using an iPad. Functions such as content restrictions, screen time limits, and other features can be used to block inappropriate content and limit access to certain apps or games. This can be done by accessing your iOS devices that come readily built-in with parental controls. Simply enable them by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions and then adjust the Allowed Apps and Content Restrictions.
4. Disable In-App Purchases
In-app purchases can be tempting for kids, but they can also lead to a high bill for parents. To prevent this from happening, disable in-app purchases on your child’s iPad. This can be done by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases, and selecting “Don’t Allow”. Doing so can prevent unwanted bills and give you peace of mind.
5. Keep the iPad Clean
Keeping your child’s iPad clean is essential in preventing the spread of germs and bacteria. While it’s advisable to wipe the device to keep it looking shiny and new, do not use any fabric or cleaning solution to wipe it down. Instead, clean the tablet with a microfibre cloth and a cleaning solution specifically designed for your iPad. This way, you can not only prolong its lifespan but also mitigate the risk of the iPad suddenly failing on you.
Keep Your iPad Safe and Functional with LYK Repair
Childproofing an iPad is crucial in ensuring your child’s safety while using the device. And as covered above, investing in a sturdy casing, applying a screen protector, enabling parental controls, disabling in-app purchases, and keeping the iPad clean are all steps that you can take to childproof the device.
However, it is inevitable for any electronic device to slow down or show signs of wear and tear over time. In such instances, fret not! Never stress over having to buy a brand new device the moment your iPad screen cracks or the battery starts to slow.

A large part of what makes the iPad Mini so popular is its tiny frame combined with insane processing power. Apple knew their target demographic well when tweaking the specs for this recent release, and it really shows. Catered towards people working on the go, and creatives who spend a lot of time drawing and sketching for work, this 6th generation iPad Mini checks all the boxes for a powerful and portable tablet suited for work and play.
Apart from the changes to case material, the new design language of the iPad Mini 6 features a larger edge-to-edge screen, along with narrow borders and minimum bezel space. Although we’ve seen bezel-less devices from Apple for the better half of a decade, this is the first time the iPad Mini has gotten such an upgrade. In addition to looking much sleeker, this change is felt even more coupled with the new 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display with True Tone, P3 wide colour, and ultra-low reflectivity.
The end result is a gorgeous dynamic screen that makes the iPad Mini 6 a practical choice indoors and outdoors. Not to mention the support of Apple Pencil 2, which feels amazing on the low latency screen. All these facets add up to make a difference larger than the sum of each individual part, resulting in the new iPad Mini feeling like the perfect device for anyone wanting a portable and adaptable workhorse tablet.

It wouldn’t be an Apple upgrade if they didn’t improve the camera capabilities on the device. If anything, that’s the least we expect from the tech giant’s annual keynote events. This time, the iPad Mini has received blessings in both the front and back cameras on the device. Boasting a 12MP camera on both the front and back of the 6th-Gen iPad Mini, this is a massive boon compared to the relatively sub-par 7 and 8-megapixel cameras on the respective front and back of the 5th-Gen iPad Mini. The newer Mini also has the ability to record in 4k and capture higher-quality images, courtesy of the new Smart HDR 3 function in the A15 Bionic chip.
Knowing that video calls are also more popular now than even in the time of COVID-19, Apple’s implementation of CentreStage for a more natural video call experience also feels like a natural feature to have as well.
A ton of well-deserved updates to the iPad Mini makes it feel right at home alongside Apple’s latest generation of tablets. If you’re still wondering if you should still get the new iPad, the make or break factor here really is the size and portability of the iPad Mini 6.
Historically, the Mini was always viewed as the cheaper and lower-spec cousin of the flagship iPad. Not this time – the iPad Mini 6 proves a worthy contender for the individual who’s constantly on the move, looking for an all in one device that fits comfortably in the palm of their hand.
