Is iPad 2's screen radiation safe for my 3 months old baby?

I don't think Apple could have envisioned a set up like yours so I think it's unlikely that they tested the iPad for this. Kudos to you for your creativity and your ingenuity. Your baby should be absolutely fine with your set up with regard to radiation. I think the bigger concern would be the self made iPad holder coming loose and the iPad dropping on the child.

By the way, there is a YouTube app on the iPad that is pre installed.

There is no danger of radiation from the iPad. It's just like sitting too close to a television which isn't really a health risk, just a bad habit. There's no substitute for tangible physical objects for a baby to interact with as they are discovering the world for the first time. They are stimulated by bright colors and sounds, but when they are so young, they can't process a movie yet. I have a newborn, and i believe the best thing for her to hear is my voice, my touch etc...

Pretty interesting idea though

Please tell me this is a joke! Children under 2 years should not watch ANY tv. Their brains are developing and making all these wonderful connections. TV interferes with that development. Dont ruin your child. Please.

I can't believe people are saying there is no radiation! Of course there is - all electronic devises emit it! Plenty of studies have been done about mobile phones and dangers to kids under 16 - I would think it would be the same with an iPad if it I'd wifi or Bluetooth enabled...

If I start to glow in the dark, i'll let you know 😝.

No criticism of any sort implied, I promise, but it makes me wonder how I raised three kids forty years ago without five hundred pounds worth of technology for them to watch! They just seemed to fall asleep when tired. 🙂

Wow. Just when I thought that I'd seen it all... LOL! 😀

It's very unhealthy to have your baby to watch TV/movie in bed. Have him to sit upright. Your set up is indeed creative but it's just an expression of laziness.

I'd say is impressive but at the same time unhealthy...

There is no "radiation" (as with a CRT or nuclear material) coming from the iPad.

On a more personal note, I'd be more concerned with using the iPad as an entertainment device as opposed to letting the child learn by exploring their surroundings (even if it's just touching and looking around), especially for such a young child.

Watching movies requires zero creativity or interaction.

Very cool setup btw.

The iPad does not have an 'old fashioned' cathode ray tube, when there was some concern about potential X-radiation from the electrons in the tube hitting the screen. The iPad has an LCD-type screen that emits no perceptible radiation. In addition, like all modern electronic equipment, it has passed all the necessary international standards for electromagnetic emissions. As far as can be ascertained, there is no danger from extended use of the iPad.

I know you are concerned about you little one, but I don't think Apple will ever sell a product that puts people in danger specially kids.

Hi

Very good idea but not for a long time at once take some photos .

Show to Dr/Nurse.
