Play areas need things to climb on, slide down, ladders to go up and things to make little minds become investigative and learning. iPads are dumbing down our kids so they don’t recognize facial features and how to smile and talk and what love is because no-one has time for these children anymore.

Play areas do not need i-pads etc. That is totally unnecessary. Little ones are allowed in far too much blue light from screens etc now. It has been proved it can affect your eyes. Does it impact on other parts of their little bodies too?

People will always find something to complain about. There’s a play area. Either play in it or move on!

Stick to the good old fashioned slide and climbing frames I say.

I’m amazed that shopping centres need play areas at all. Really? How did we all cope growing up without them?

Good old fashioned slide and climbing frames are the best !

More play less tech and when they grow older it changes.

My kids would love it, but I prefer play areas with less tech.

The screens aren’t new, they have been there for ages already, so not sure why this has only become an issue.

Children are surrounded by technology so much already. I would leave these play areas completely tech-free!!
