Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet- 2022, ages 6-12 | 8' HD screen, slim case for older kids, ad-free content, parental controls, 13-hr battery, 32 GB, Hello Teal

For the price, it gives what it offers, it is not very fast, but for the price and for the type of use that will be given to it, it is an excellent alternative

Gift for my granddaughter, she enjoys it

I love that this tablet comes with parental controls already installed. For a millennial who grew up with the beginning of the Internet I assumed id be able to continue to grow with it but I was wrong. I apparently don't know what I'm doing when it comes to technology and this helps eliminate the stress and worry about what my kid has access to. Especially because I'm "strict" when it comes to screen time. I also love that it comes with a protective cover considering I bought it for my 7 year old. Let's face it kids are not the most careful by default. I bought this when it was on sale so I feel like it was worth the money. I did buy a screen protector and zip up case as well so that helps with the durability. We never have any issues with it connecting or anything other than opporator errors. The charge is still holding up about a day or two at almost 6 months use but again I limit screen time to 2 hours a day.

Great for the kids. It actually pretty durable. And has a pretty good storage capacity and is very easy and access to charge. Great screen quality. I would purchase another. They also have a protection plan thanks to amazon your kids will always be able to have their tablet replaced and or fixed by amazon.

Prefect for toddler. Sturdy and good size

I purchased this for my grandson 2 and a half years ago. It has been thrown, dropped, left out in weather, etc. It is still working great and he uses it everyday.

Love these fire tablet we have three different ones. Easy to navigate. Nice parent controls. The only downside I would say is the internal storage, I feel like my kids are constantly asking me for more storage. They have had them a couple years though and I don’t feel like this happened until after awhile of having them. They have a really nice worry free warranty .

Update: It’s trash. It’s fine for watching the rather small selection of videos available through Amazon kids but the performance for apps is horrible. It takes 30+ seconds for most apps to load and anything remotely taxing is going to be laggy and choppy and completely frustrating for any child who is used to any other device. My 2 year old has my son’s old iPhone and since giving her that she cannot sit still long enough for anything to actually work on this tablet. I still love Amazon kids as a standalone product and wish it was available on iOS but I have in and bought a fire max 11 for my 2 year old and the performance is night and day. For a little more just get that. Please. This tablet is garbage.I ordered this for my 1 year old simply for the ability to play videos for her on road trips and those moments when I just need her to sit still for a few minutes (diaper changes).Overall I really like that the kids section is pretty impossible to escape without the passcode. If you have the subscription, it only shows you apps that are 100% free with no in app purchases. This was the big one for me. I have an iPad that my kids use but it is impossible to find apps that are free and have no in app purchases (unless you subscribe to Apple Arcade which we do, but 99% of those games are not educational at all). It seems the majority of the apps included with the Amazon kids subscription do have some kind of educational value but many do not though they are still age appropriate from what I could tell.One thing I wasn’t clear about when purchasing was whether or not I could adjust the content for my youngest because this particular tablet says ages 6-12. I was happy to discover that you can indeed set the age all the way down to 2 years old and can set it to include a range of ages or just a single year if you want to. Once you set the age, the apps not deemed age appropriate no longer show up in the app browser so I don’t have to browse through a bunch of Transformers and LEGO stuff for my baby who only likes Bluey and animals.Another thing I found confusing was how to tell what apps are included with the subscription and which ones are not. This is important because I didn’t want to download ANY apps with purchases. It’s not really clear but basically if it shows up in the app browser, it’s part of the subscription. If you click the “store” button, those are apps that are NOT part of the subscription and therefore may cost money and/or have in app purchases. This is not clear at all when browsing. Kids can still download from the store but instead of downloading immediately like subscription apps do, it sends a request to the parent(s) to approve or deny the download or purchase.Lastly, it’s confusing to find what apps you already have installed. By default, it shows your child all the apps available for their age, regardless of whether or not they have it downloaded already. To view what’s already installed, you have to click “download” and there you will see all installed apps. It’s kind of counter intuitive to how other smart devices work but I can see how they did this to allow kids to discover new things. You can go in and block certain content (I blocked everything Barbie, for example 😑) so even if it’s included in the age range you selected, you can still hide it if you don’t want your kids to use it. There’s an odd selection of movies like “Where the Red Feen Grows” and others that my kids would just never watch so I blocked those so it doesn’t clutter up the things they do want to see.It does a good job of keeping kids in a safe area with content that is curated specifically for their age and interests. iOS was never great at this. Plus this tablet is much cheaper than any iPad and it’s all my kids need at this point.
