SINGAPORE: Experts have cautioned against letting toddlers three years old and below, get too familiar with mobile devices.
They said it might hamper their ability to learn as they grow.
Three-year-old Randy Smith has been playing with an iPad since the age of two, and his parents said he is quite familiar with some of the more advanced features in the mobile device.
Experts said children this young should spend more time interacting with their physical environment.
They said interacting too much with a virtual interface could interfere with a child's ability to understand the world around him.
Colin Smith, father of Randy Smith, said: "There was once when we just left him (Randy) to go to bed with an iPad.
"We didn't check on him till about two hours later because both of us were working at home and when we got to him, we found that he had been playing for the past two hours and didn't want to go to sleep."

SINGAPORE: Singapore's three major telcos will be offering the new iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad that were unveiled in the United States on Tuesday.
Apple announced that it will start shipping the fourth-generation iPad, as well as the WiFi model of the iPad mini to Singapore next Friday.
It will ship the 4G versions of the two devices a couple of weeks later.
The three telcos, SingTel, StarHub and M1, said in separate statements that they will offer the new iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad in the coming weeks and customers will be able to connect to their 4G network with speeds of up to 75 Mbps.
They added that details on pricing and availability dates will be released in due course.
