1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
We watched office, it's an old favourite of mine and I love that my children can enjoy it too, it hasn't 'aged' at all.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
They love watching movies like Minions, Toy Story, Monsters University and many more..

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
I love that there's an apparently interminable selection of motion pictures, series and projects accessible also music as well.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
There's an enormous scope of classes from kids' projects to instructive, through to parody, wrongdoing and considerably more.

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and hogsaddle.com/cinema-hd-apk/ Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids'
My kids haven't considered any to be those projects the extent that I am mindful as none spoke to them. They either show up too youthful or a smidgen excessively old for my 8, 6 and multi month old.

Thanks!!

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?

Kung Fu Panda

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
Kung Fu Panda, LEGO, Just Add Magic , Disney - They are perfect for kids and for the family to watch together.


3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?

There is a range of shows and films to watch and since my children are aged 11, 7 and 5 - there's something for everyone. Besides, I like that we can watch it anywhere.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?

That there's always something new to watch and there's no restriction to the number of devices I can watch it on.

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids' originals available only on Amazon prime - which Amazon Prime Kids' shows have you/your kids watched and what did you/your kids like about them?

Wishenpoof and Just Add Magic - They love these ones because of the element of magic in them.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?

I don't have Amazon Prime but would love to get it as I do purchase quite a lot from Amazon. I enjoy the Prime Video as we get to watch quite a lot of series and films. I don't particularly like that Amazon charges for quite a few films that are free to watch elsewhere.

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?

Peppa Pig with my pre-schooler

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?

Cartons and films that we either don't have on dvd or aren't shown on TV.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?

A big thing for me is renting programs/films. Another bonus is items I buy are just there - no more DVD cases cluttering up the place! - and I can watch programs via the TV or on a tablet elsewhere.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?

The choice availible

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids' originals available only on Amazon prime - which Amazon Prime Kids' shows have you/your kids watched and what did you/your kids like about them?

No we hadn't heard of them before but tried Just Add Magic which we liked. We are going to watch the other Kids' originals as well.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?

Very - we shop a lot (and I mean a lot, 8 packages today and that is not particularly unusual) on Amazon due to convenience, choice and price. We are switching more and more to streaming services as we are trying to downsize the amount of 'stuff' like DVDs that we have in the house.

We last watched nowhere boys.full of mystery.scary and great storyline. Both my kids loved it.

They love watching scary things, adventurous programs.magic is always good so long as it's believable. My little pony is a favourite as is gravity falls (though tbh I don't recall that one!)adventure time was a fav until you had to pay for the series which I can't afford.

There is such a big selection of films and programs so they have lots to choose from.

There is something for us all on Amazon prime though kids normally win! :)

We watched tumbleleaf and wishenpoof but age is probably 4-5 or under so we only watched one. They loved just add magic and nowhere boys- both fab magical adventures.the kids couldn't guess what would happen.we are fixated on nowhere boys at present-all the family enjoy it (me more than the kids I think!)

It is important because we live in Britain where it rains and there is only so much, reading and crafting and wet walks you can do before Amazon vid calls!

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?Ds likes revisiting preschool age shows such as peppa pig and ben and holly (he's 8!), DD likes American shows like iCarly. She also likes movies.
3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video? Good selection, can search by prime to get only free shows. The children like that they can watch it through the playstation rather than having to ask to borrow my laptop
4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family? As above really

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why? The delivery is my first reason for having prime membership, tv shows the second. I don't use the music at all. I would prefer more kindle benefits as I read a lot and was surprised that prime membership didn't really benefit me when kindle is an amazon product. I'd also prefer not to have to pay extra for certain films/shows when I've already paid for membership.

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
Ben and Holly - the whole family likes it, as adults we often spot jokes that the kids miss and the kids think Kingthistle is very funny.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
Lego Ninjago, my boys love these programs, they love that they can watch them whenever they want to

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids' originals available only on Amazon prime - which Amazon Prime Kids' shows have you/your kids watched and what did you/your kids like about them?
We haven't watched any of these yet

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?
Fairly important - originally took it out for the nappy subscription service, and for Amazon Music. I am a country music fan, and as there are no longer any cmt channels in the UK, I thought Amazon music would be a good way to discover new artists.
We have found the 1 day delivery much more useful than we were expecting to, and will probably renew our membership just for this service.

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
I started watching Shaun the Sheep the movie with them but my youngest got bored and asked for Peppa.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
They prefer it now to YouTube Kids as there are no adverts.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
No adverts and Peppa Pig ready to watch. Interestingly you haven't asked what we don't like about it so I''ll tell you! I don't like that films available to watch now change, so for example I had a lot of children's films added to my watchlist for the children and now most of them aren't on prime any more.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
Lack of adverts.

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids' originals available only on Amazon prime - which Amazon Prime Kids' shows have you/your kids watched and what did you/your kids like about them?
I didn't know before this thread that there are original children's shows as I haven't noticed them in the app.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?

We live rurally and have used Prime for a very long time as we are a long way from any decent shops. It means we can order some items (eg nappies and baby wipes when the children used them) in bulk and get next day delivery. Also good for last minute presents, Christmas shopping etc.

The last thing my youngest daughter watched was a barbie film
They enjoy watching a variety of things particularly Lego friends. The youngest a likes it that she can navigate herself a bit more.
We like the variety and that you can watch what you want when you want.
We were not really aware of the Amazon originals. After signing up to this trial we have watched wishenpoof and like it - also there's one about a mouse. Our default has been the names she knows but I think this will make us think about trying new programmes.
Amazon prime is very important. With a full time just and a long commute I rarely have time to get to the shops so next day delivery is key. I also read through kindle so like the digital credit option if I choose not to have next day delivery.

My only comment would be that I managed to accidentally buy something last month on the tv when I was distracted while putting something on for her and clicked though without reading. I would like a pin to enter before you buy (or maybe you can and I just don't know!)

    V important. Busy life means can't always get time to shop / or toddlers happy to. Love free next day delivery

    Would be great if you could offer content in languages other than English for families bringing up bi-lingual children. I'd happily pay a premium to my prime membership to have that option

  1. "Little red tractor" it's an old series not on TV anymore. Very good for tractor obsessed 2 year old.


  1. Older boy likes pokemon. Better to watch on amazon as it automatically goes to the next episode in a series unlike sky where he'd have to navigate the TV guide which can be tricky for a young child.


  1. DP says the stream quality.


  1. Easy to search and navigate, good range of programmes, few problems with streaming.


  1. Something about stinky & dirty? With trucks.


  1. Very! We order a lot from Amazon. It has become the default option for most things we need to buy due to the next day delivery which is much improved by Amazon lockers as being in for deliveries used to be a problem

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it? We watched Season 1 of Team Umizoomi, followed by Ninjago and the Lego shows and The Lego Movie

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why? The above mentioned shows, I think it's because they're popular with other children their ages ( I have a 1 year old, 2.5 year old and a 5 year old) and easy to watch.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video? The fact the cost is covered by the Prime membership fee (unless you want to pay for the non prime shows, which we don't).

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family? A good range of shows and films with original content, box sets and classics.

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids' originals available only on Amazon prime - which Amazon Prime Kids' shows have you/your kids watched and what did you/your kids like about them? They couldn't stand Just Add Magic or Wishenpoof! But loved Tumbleleaf. I think they liked Tumbleleaf because it wasn't dumbed down. They also like the pilot show content (that was aimed at kids) which we then went online and voted which they liked the best.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why? Amazon Prime is important in our household for quick delivery of things we order from Amazon and we like prime music too and the kindle books also (which I get to keep me sane!)
We only have Internet tv so Amazon Prime tv gives us another dimension to watching shows.

Hop. It was a really good family film. The kids enjoyed it so much that they have watched it again.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?

My 4 year old likes Peppa Pig, Ben and Holly and My Little Pony. My 6 year old likes Transformers Rescue Bots and Ninjago. My 11 year old likes watching films and Top Gear.
They like that they can watch them when they want to and not just when they are being shown on Tv.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
We like that it is instant and we can watch when we choose to. There is a good choice of programmes.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?

I love Prime membership. We use the next day delivery a lot. Also, I love no rush delivery with £1 credit to buy kindle books or movie rentals. The children all have fire sticks in their bedrooms so they can watch Amazon Prime Tv in their bedrooms, this sometimes saves arguments over the tv programme.

Teen Titans. It's not a favourite of mine (it's loud Grin) but the DC could watch it without adverts.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?

Peppa Pig, Little Kingdom, Teen Titans, Ninjago. Well my baby likes the Peppa Pig and LK as it's suitable for her with pared down illustrations and a slower pace of story line. My boys (5 and 8) liked Teen Titans and Ninjago from when we had SKY tv so are familiar with them, it's got action in it and a few laughs so keeps them happy.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?

We can pick and choose what we want when we want.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?

Again the choice and watching when it's suitable for us. The no annoying adverts is definitely a plus. There's a wide range of kids shows and films, something for everyone, including me.

It is good value for money (esp as I have student membership) watch films/tv shows/listen to music on Sonos and the ability to have goods delivered fast if needed. Useful for last minute party presents.

5.Tumbleleaf, Wishenpoof!, and Just Add Magic are Amazon Kids' originals available only on Amazon prime - which Amazon Prime Kids' shows have you/your kids watched and what did you/your kids like about them?

My 6 year old loves Wishenpoof although I find it incredibly irritating. They both loved Lost in Oz.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?

I love the convenience of one day delivery and am pleased that Prime Now has rolled out in our area. I love Prime Music and video too. It's good value at £79 but I doubt I'd pay more.

Honestly, my hubby bought it by accident (so he says) but since we have it we have made fantastic use of it with the next day delivery especially and the Amazon prime will no doubt be a saviour even more so in the school holidays. I can't say its a necessity and we definitely could live without it but its a nice life perk right now.

There seems to be as much free content as Netflix, but you have the option of buying or renting more current content if you want it. It's great to be able to download a film for the children to watch on the kindle fire, as well.
