A Double Review of Android Boxes: The Android Equivalent to Roku or Apple TV, Chromecast, or the Fire Stick

We are very into technology around here. The 4 year old already knows his way around a tablet and the basics of a Linux computer. The 1 year old can already use a mouse.

No worries, they still have books and play outside and have lots of toys that don't require batteries. Everything in moderation. That being said, we bought two different Android boxes to try to find one for Froot Loop to use.
