Tips & Warnings
Research very thoroughly. Sometimes a brand you wouldn't consider for yourself will be the right one for this situation.
Let your kids help in the decision. This will give them a sense of ownership, possibly helping to keep the camcorder in better condition in the future.
Focus on what the camera will be used for, not appearance. A sleek camera will not be very impressive to a young child, while one that is durable will be worth the money.
Don't spend a lot of money. Chances are, between advances in technology and the damage due to use, the camcorder will need to be replaced in a few years.
