walkitoutI hesitate to do this, because the next thing that happens is one of them stops working for obvious or not-so-obvious reasons.
However, I have to rate the iPad High for small child durability. The screen cleans up well, even after being lollipopped (defined as a small child working on a lollipop then using the screen and getting it really, really sticky). The iPad survives drops from small child height remarkably well. I'm horrified each and every time, but the device seems magnificently indifferent. Finally, they tolerate being walked on by a small child weighing a little under 30 pounds. I really try to stop this from happening (and the larger child hasn't done it). But it _has_ happened, again, with no obvious negative consequences.
I wouldn't recommend doing any of these things to your iPad. I hope your parenting skills are such that small children in your vicinity would never even get close to doing these things to your iPad. Nevertheless, I'm very pleased that the iPads have survived my very slacker parenting style.
