Best tablet for kids
If you’re going to get a tablet for your toddler or kid, get this one! I love that it has two separate account options- one for you and one for the kid. It sends you requests if they want to download anything, and you can block apps or purchases. You can set screen time on it and it’s easy to use. My toddler loves his and has a ton of learning apps on it. It’s got a lot of storage and a full battery lasts us about 7-8 hours now with a bunch of apps downloaded. When it was new with few apps, it would last almost 20 hours! Dependable and great!

Kindle Fire HD Tablet for Kids
This is the second Kindle Fire we have purchased for our special needs daughter. I ordered the first one 2-3 years ago as a Christmas present. I honestly had doubts that she would use it, but they are on sale so I decided to give it a try. She has LOVED it...she really took to it and her fingers fly on it. The memory was running a bit low, so I saw they were discounted again so I ordered her a new one. The first one is pink (and I will add, it does still work, so she can actually use both). The new one is blue and a bit larger footprint size but still easy to handle, lightweight, very tough with the case, which is a great thing if you have small children or toddlers who might be a little rough on one. We don't have that issue, but it's nice to know it is so rugged in case our daughter drops it accidentally or something. Very nicely portable, and very educational. There are many kid-related apps available for download and some already installed. It has safety blocks on it to prevent a child from accessing inappropriate material or from downloading apps you don't want them to download. So basically it has the option for two users for parental controls. You can limit screen time, and monitor usage, even monitor remotely. It lasts about 8-10 hours (approximately) on a full charge and it charges quickly. A charger comes with it. 4GB RAM, 64 GB storage, up to 1 TB of expandable memory, 8-inch HD display, wifi-connectivity. You can also watch You-tube videos, download and read books and magazines, games, take and view photos. Very versatile, safe, and will provide hours of fun and learning for children.

Great Tablet For Any Toddler, or Even Adults Who Want To Read!
This Tablet has a great display and battery life. With controlled screen time, it lasts my toddler all day or more (that is watching it for maybe an hour or two a day within increments.) It includes an awesome, very durable, case that can be removed for cleaning. As mentioned in the headline this would also be good for any adult to read on, as you can add an adult account with it's on profile and everything (just like a normal tablet.) At this price it is hard to beat! I opted for the version that includes a year of Amazon Kids + and it includes a ton of games and educatiuonal/fun content for kids to enjoy! If you are thinking about getting this for any reason mentioned, or in general, then you won't regret it!

A Real Hit
I wasn't sure if this would be beyond the capability of my 5-year old grandson, but, I'm old and failed to realize that he was very capable and already computer literate. He opened it at my Christmas gathering, had his Dad activate it (and associate it with his Amazon account), and was deeply engrossed in it within 20 minutes. He has been on it all weekend since getting it on Friday.The games appear to be age-appropriate and he truly loves this device. It is a great alternative to an iPad and is very rugged in its case.I highly recommend this as an excellent pad at an excellent price.Note: You should charge the device, without setting it up, before giving as a gift. If you are giving it to someone who lives in your own household then you can have it 'Associated with your Amazon Account' when you order it. Otherwise, do not associate it with your own Amazon account when ordering.Note: I also ordered a MicroSD card to insert it this device but it is not required. I just know that more memory is good.

Best Kids Tablet!!!
Loved it! Photos showing the Fire Kids 8 12th gen (blue case) and the Fire Kids 7 12th gen (purple).I was torn between getting the fire kids 8 and Kids 10 because I was concerned that there wouldn't be much difference on Kids 7 and Kids 8 but I am definitely happy that I bought the Kids 8 for my 2yrs old. The screen is big but not that big that it would be hard for him to carry it around comfortably. Seeing the kids 8, I definitely made the right decision. Its faster, louder, brighter, big enough and I was able to put our sd card as an internal storage which helped us on videos, music. Also sometimes it lags but only for a few seconds and it resolves itself.If you are torn, go get it:) It's worth it.I only put games and videos I approved. I love that its easy to use for my 2yr old and that I can totally control the content my toddler watches/play.

Nice tablet and works well, kid loves it.
This tablet is great if your child is ready for the next step or you just need to distract them for a little bit. It is durable and easy to use, it's a great value for the money. The only reason for the four stars and not five, is the software requires parents permission for new apps, which is great, however you cannot log into the Amazon kids app to approve it, you have to wait for an email and go through a process. If they streamlined it a bit so I could simply use the app amazon had me download, it would be five stars.

Great tablet for kids and safe
I only have good things to say.The durability of this thing is great, it got dropped right of the box lol and was completely fine. The case it comes with is awesome. The functionality of it is great it works perfect on the go. The value for the money is worth it. The battery life is fantastic compared to the other off brand tablets. I love that I can use parental controls and control what my child can watch and do on the tablet so I don't have to hover and monitor. I feel safe giving it to him. It is lite weight and easy to hold.
