It seems that she can do things with the computer that her hands will not allow yet..such as writing the letters.
For my son, with his perfectionism that I totally didn't recognise, let him to shy away from the small motor tasks that are so important to hand development. But he would have a fit about not wanting to make 'art' and 'demand' to sit in my lap and have me do the art while he described it. So eventually I just sat him in front of Microsoft Paint and let him do it on there. He would sit for hours with the maginfing glass going pixel by pixel to get it right. Little did I know that he was 'supposed' to be pouring that determination into fine motor control with a crayon.
He did, eventually, catch up, but a lot was missed.
So knowing what might happen, I wouldn't really worry about it, particularly the 'in car' time, just that at the first sign of her not wanting to use her little hands, to be vigilent about taking the electronics away if she goes that route.
I'm much more wary of electronics for boys - but maybe that is old fashioned.
