My now 4-year-old has one and has had it since she was 3, but we've taught her to be careful with it. She's been using one of our iPads or the other on and off since before she was 2. We'd have her sit and then hand it to her when she was little, and she's learned since then to be careful with it.
I don't think any e-reader can handle what you're talking about. Your choices appear to me to be to have rules and be careful with it, or get something just for you at this point but not for the kids (and then a cheap e-ink one might be best), or don't get one at this point.
If you do get something, I agree with getting something used to see how well they handle it. If they can take care of it, THEN maybe get a Kindle Fire as someone suggested (which is what I'd suggest as well otherwise), but I wouldn't get it until you know it'll be taken care of. Kids that age can do it but you might have to keep it out of their reach and get it for them when they want it so you can make sure no one drinks stuff around it or carries it from place to place.
