About to purchase a used ipad for my 7 yr old and wanting to know what ipad can be updated to the latest ios? Also wanted to know if it really matters which one I get or if that will that affect the performance? She will mainly be using it for games, duo with her bestie and research because she has a chromebook.
Honestly, if cost is a serious issue, buy a new Android tablet. Amazon sells some very inexpensive ones with very good parental controls and a two year breakage replacement warranty. They are also ruggedized. All in all, it will probably be cheaper and less of a hassle.

Whatever iPad model you buy, read this link I wrote about buying used devices to you don't get scammed by buying an activation locked iPad. If you can't see it in person, I personally wouldn't buy it. And if you want a deal on a used device, I would recommend you shop in the Apple Refurbished Store, where you'll get a device at a good price from Apple with a warranty from Apple.

If you decide to purchase an iPad and must purchase older, used iPad models, DO NOT look at anything older than a 2014 iPad Air 2 or 2015 iPad Mini 4.
Both of these models are the oldest iPad models that the up and coming iPadOS 14 will support, in the Fall of 2020.
If you must purchased used devices from unknown sources, you must ask more questions of the iOS device seller, ask for more photo/images, ask if the iPad has user/iCloud activation lock and ask for photos/images/short video proof, ANY REAL VISUAL PROOF, that such an iPad has been reset to factory settings and shown proof of the iOS device's start up screen showing the animated, moving, multi-language “Hello” Welcome to iPad screen.
If the iOS device seller is unwilling to do all of this to show you that the iPad, in question, is ready to use with no barriers to new user activation and use, pass on the iOS device and look at other iOS device sellers elsewhere.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
Hello,
iPad Air 2 (2014) is Apple’s oldest device that can run the latest version of the iPad system software.
