Add to that the video and music and it's amazing value. My only criticism is that you have to pay the £79 in one go. Perhaps a monthly fee could be introduced?

There is a monthly fee instead of lump sum, it's £7.99 per month. It's what made me use prime (since feb so it's been an option for a while) as I couldn't pay in one go, I signed up for the shipping but when I saw the music and video were also included I got rid of Netflix. If you look under your account and the prime membership options you should be able to choose pay monthly. My sister signed up a few days ago and pays monthly. There was also an option to only have video, think it's was £4.99 a month when I signed up.

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

Dr Who. My Daughter loves being able to watch older episodes, she started watching it when Matt Smith was the doctor so she really likes having access to episodes with previous doctors.

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

Dr Who and old episodes of Top Gear have been dds faves. Dr who for reasons mentioned in question one and Top gear because she loves the challenge episodes and a lot of them were unavailable on Netflix.

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

Being able to use it on our PC, consoles, phones and tablets.

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

Being able to rent and buy titles and box sets as well as watch everything included in Prime. When you choose the no rush delivery option and get £1 credit to rent or buy movies is a really nice extra and I've been able to buy The Walking Dead season 6 with the credits I've built up.

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 have not watched these, I've seen them promoted but they are not dds thing and she's a little old for 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?

It's very important, I like how you have video, free next day delivery, music streaming and unlimited cloud storage for the same monthly price as Netflix. The monthly payment is what made me use amazon as I couldn't afford the yearly payment in one go. I'd like if all the apps allowed you to purchase titles though, I've noticed that I can not purchase titles from my Xbox one and instead have to buy them on my phone or playstation first and then I can watch them from my library in the Xbox.

Smooshface · 28/06/2016 14:20

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

Peppa pig! I like that season 4 is free at the moment, as I've seen the earlier ones lots of times!

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

Shaun the Sheep the movie, Paddington, peppa pig, lego movie, pingu. All great kids things that we can enjoy with them, and they are already familiar with them

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

We have a fire stick and amazon tablets, so can watch them on anything anywhere.

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

Ease of use and already part of prime.

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?

Creative galaxy looks lovely, not watched it with toddler yet but think she will love it. Just add magic looks good for older one too!

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 use the next day delivery a lot, we are disorganised and it works so well for us!

Wish the token for tablets lasted more than a couple of days for holidays, as handy to load videos for flights!

snowsuit · 28/06/2016 14:20

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
Me and my daughter just binge-watched Just Add Magic Blush. I thought it was pretty good, just right for her age, dramatic without being too adult.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
Scooby Doo mostly, Just Add Magic was great because it was quite slow-paced and innocent and leisurely, like a throwback to kids' TV dramas from when I was little.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
Convenience of having shows on tap so she can collapse in front of it after school Grin

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
I got it along with the Prime that I mostly got for free postage. I'm not sure I would have got it otherwise - it puts me off that the prices can be quite high for something that you don't own in the same way that you own a physical DVD.

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?
Just Add Magic has been her favorite. It's surprisingly well written and acted, and has a lot of drama without being scary.

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 got it for the free postage. I like some of the video benefits but overall it's expensive, and I don't like that you still have to pay for some content even after paying a yearly subscription.

jenster1976 · 28/06/2016 14:48

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

Ben & Holly - we watch this and Peppa Pig a lot, its great, I love Ben & Holly - much prefer it to PP, have been known to sit and watch ones Ihaven't seen before, even without the 2 year old! Lovely character development and humour, my 2 year old walks around shouting Big Bad Barry at things which makes me laugh...

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
My older ones LOVED Just Add Magic, and can't wait for next series to come out. Nice to see some kids programmes that aren't animation and with characters they can relate to (not all foster kids or in care...) They've watched a lot of the films on it

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

Lots of choice and lack of adverts in general - particularly with toddler
I can put it on and back to back episodes without ad breaks so she doesn't lose interest and it buys me 30 minutes!

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

Its easy, we use our Fire Stick all the time and its just an extension of the options we've got, without paying a further premium. We also have Netflix and enjoy being able to access a lot of other channels / content through the fire stick too, sometimes forget what we're watching (as in Netflix / +1 options etc) as we use the same control for all.

One annoying thing is that my 2 year old can work the remote and has recently started buying episodes of PP that aren't included with Prime, hadn't realised she could do this / or had done it, till I got the email through charging me!! My older 2 know that anything that needs to be paid for has to be checked first.

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?

Just Add Magic, was a hit with my 2 older girls (8&6), they watched it on repeat, played it and quoted it endlessly. Given up on it now but no doubt will get in to it again with the next series. They liked watching something that isn't animation and with characters they thought were cool and funny. But they weren't naughty or rude, which they find a turn off (long may that last!!)
6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?
Would be lost without Amazon Prime - buy last minute birthday presents (i.e. all presents) through it, can find almost everything I need and can get it really quickly, sometimes that's more important than the free delivery, which is another major perk - definitely recouped my fee, so well worth it.

cocothefrog · 28/06/2016 14:58

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it? I like watching Ben & Holly with DD - it is funny
2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
My son likes movies and my daughter likes tv series - not sure why

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video? There is something for everyone and you can download - unlike netflix

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
The choice and that we can watch on multi devices

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? None

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 use the deliveries a lot and we would miss the videos.
However I wish there was an app just for the kids content like BBC kids and Sky kids.

Fumnudge · 28/06/2016 16:00

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
The BFG, obviously it's a classic!
2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
Mine like anything new, Ben and holly, peppa pig, but we have Netflix which has much more childrens choice.
3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
Clean layout
4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
I tried some of the adult series (the preacher?) but too graphic for me. I loved the old films especially.
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 were not engaged by 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?
It's the only reason we use it, for the Prime delivery.

BrickInTheWall · 28/06/2016 16:23

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it? We watched a short movie "Zero" I wasn't sure to make of it at the start, it was a bit dark but they enjoyed it.
2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
Lego friends, My Little Pony, Kung Fu Panda, Peppa Pig, Just add Magic, Gortimer Gibbons life on normal street plus movies.
3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video? I like how its easy enough for the kids to use so they can use it themselves but you can add parental lock for age restrictions and buying things.
4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family? So much variety! There is always something for all of us to watch.
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 kids watched the entire 1st season of Just Add Magic in about a week. They were gutted when it was finished and no more seasons as of yet. It totally sparked of a love of baking for my eldest (9) with her best friend!
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 get quite a bit of use of my prime membership because I buy quite a lot on amazon including bulk buying nappies and wipes. The one day delivery is brilliant if I have been disorganised and not got a present for a childrens party at the weekend (happened more than once Blush)

Just thought I would add as well. My wee boy (nearly 2) is loving Peppa Pig, I wish more seasons were free to watch.. He has watched seasons 1-4 a few times and always asks for "Peppa ah Fire" (for firestick) he likes that it plays episodes continuously. Grin

sassolino · 28/06/2016 18:09

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it? My younger one watched Kung Fu Panda season 3 and Lego Ninjago. It is his choice. I'm not a big fan of Ninjago, but Kung Fu Panda is a series we can enjoy together.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
My son enjoys several different series, like TMNT, Transformers Prime, Kung Fu Panda, Lego Ninjago etc, where there is a lot of action.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
A wide choice and convenience.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
My husband is a cinema addict (i.e. he goes to film festivals regularly), so it was his idea first to get Amazon Prime. But gradually we all saw the benefits of having it.

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 have only watched Just Add Magic. I was surprised when my 6-year-old started watching it, as I thought it was more suitable for pre-teen girls, but we ended watching it together with great interest.

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?
It's very convenient. Love that we can have anything delivered the next day, even on Sunday. How cool is that.

very important to us, use all aspects of it

MarriedinMaui · 28/06/2016 19:03
  1. What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
    Lego city. Both my boys think it's wonderful and I quite like it too as the cartoons are short and funny

  2. What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
    The are obsessed with rescue bots and Lego city. Occasionally I manage to persuade them to watch a movie. I love it when I find movies from my childhood on there that I can introduce them to. Last one was "Honey, I shrunk the kids".

  3. What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
    The streaming always works

  4. What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
    Good selection for me and the kids. Husband doesn't really use it

  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?

Tried Tumbleaf on the 2 year old. He was bored.

They both quite liked Wishenpoof the one time I put it on, but they haven't asked for it again. I thought it looked v low budget.

  1. Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why? Very. I love Amazon music and the next day delivery, as well as Amazon video.

One comment: I don't find Amazon video as user friendly as Netflix. It is not nearly so effective at suggesting other new things we might like, I tend to have to do a search for what I want. Also because there is no way of personalising it for different family members my husband just gets recommended what me and the kids have been watching (rescue bots and Outlander mostly!) and ends up thinking there is nothing on there he likes.

Pleeeease can you add more seasons of rescue bots??

KittyKat88 · 28/06/2016 20:17

What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
Jazz Duck - my DDs love to try new things and this was really appealing because of the way it incorporates music into the cartoon. We all found it to be quite humerous and endearing, and the way it encourages the kids to listen to the 'beat' of music and also to interract by copying some of the beats (clapping) or dancing is lovely. I hope more episodes are made available!
2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
My DDs love the films, and it's great that they have access to some Disney but also lots of other animated films - we discovered 'Song of the Sea' on Amazon Prime and it is a brilliant animated film with a beautiful soundtrack!
3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
The huge choice of TV and Movies on offer - and especially the opportunity to try new things in their Amazon Originals range
4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
There is something on there to suit all our family and we love that it can be watched on a tablet wherever the kids are (I can then use it as a special treat at the dinner table or when they're in the bath if they've been really good that day) as well as on our TV via the Amazon Prime App
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 DDs have watched all the above show and enjoyed them very much - probably Wishenpoof the most. My older DD enjoyed Sigmund and the Sea Monsters while my younger DD really engaged with The Curious Kitty and Friends; the stop motion style animation in this cartoon is so lovely, and DD2 thought all the characters were very cute!
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 not only the access to Prime Video (and can't wait to see what Clarkson and friends get up to in The Grand Tour!!) but the one-day delivery has been a godsend so many times this year! I also love the access to Prime Music so I can 'try before I buy' and it's meant I've been able to discover so many more great artists or rediscover old favourites. It's reignited my passion in music! I can't see any reason not to renew my subscription when the time comes Smile

compostheap · 28/06/2016 20:47
  1. We watched "Puss in Boots - DS1 and DD loved it, lots of laughter.
  2. We've only actually watched films, so this has opened my eyes to the other programmes on there which we should look at.
  3. Convenient, wide range of films and lots of really good ones.
  4. Things to suit everyone - children can all find things they like, and my DH and I also watch series on there.
  5. Never watched them - am going to take a look
  6. DH mocks me for my love of AmazonPrime, but free next day delivery is brilliant, especially for last minute presents. And I really like amazon video. Think it works out realaly reasonably over the year.
tinkerbellemum · 28/06/2016 20:47

We didn't watch any of those as they didnt appeal to 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?

Being a busy working mum of 3 children and a busy social life it so handy having Amazon prime to deliver the next day or same day in some cases.

Traceyedd · 28/06/2016 20:50

Team Unizoomi, My son loves this and will watch it several times over.

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

Team umizoomi, I love the educational aspect

Team Umizoomi, bubble guppies

The convenience, easy/quick to put on an episode if I'm cooking etc

The cost and the choice

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 but will do

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

My Amazon prime is essential, I have struggles with depression/tiredness so sometimes can't go out, getting something I need guaranteed delivery the next day is a lifesaver

YellowShockedFace · 28/06/2016 21:03

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

Frozen, we have seen it a hundred times or more but we love it, the characters are great and we love the songs. its something we can all watch together.

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

The girl likes My Little Pony and my sons like Power Rangers, they love the dressed up monsters and the costumes. they like the fighting scenes too.

What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?

Its cheaper than going to the cinema, if its a rainy day we can sit down and watch something together as a family. there is always something we can agree on to watch.

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

Having a whole series of something ready-to-go, like most families we have busy lives and it nice to sit down at the end of the day and gradually watch something we like, it is all ready to click and watch. Easy!

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 had already been watching Wishenpoof as we saw it and liked the name, now we love it and the song too. All three of the children can watch it together which is something I really like.

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

I am a working mum, I have a young family and my husband works long hours and I rarely have babysitters. I cannot always go shopping or to supermarkets if I need things, especially last minute so I can look and find what I want and its there the next day. I would hate to not have amazon prime now! I think it saves so much time its really worth it and I don't have to spend hours looking in lots of shops to find stuff

TheMasterBaker · 28/06/2016 21:29

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
We watched Toy Story 2, 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, BFG etc. They've also enjoyed watching Pingu.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
I love that there's a seemingly endless choice of movies, series and programmes available not to mention music too.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
There's a huge range of genres from children's programmes to educational, through to comedy, crime and much more.

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 children haven't seen any of those programmes as far as I am aware as none appealed to them. They either appear too too young or a tad too old for my 8, 6 & 10 month old.

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 use Amazon to purchase items at least once a week so I save a fortune by having the Prime Membership. We also have You View (after getting rid of Sky) and the service is pretty rubbish. Prime Video fills the void left by Sky and even more so as my children have access to watch movies and cartoons whenever they like and no box office fees to worry about.

TTwidow · 28/06/2016 21:51

1What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
We watched the film Bill. The children liked it but I didn't think it as funny as the Horrible Histories programmes.
2. What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
They like the films as we can usually find something to watch as a family.
3. What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
I like how it is presented/designed.
4. What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
I like how easy it is to use.
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 Amazon Prime kids shows.
6. Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why?

As a family we use Amazon a lot for purchases at Christmas and birthdays and even throughout the year. We love the next day delivery which is very handy in our busy lives. I also enjoy the free books in Amazon kindle store. It's a great package.

MsMarple · 28/06/2016 21:59

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
Bill, The Horrible Histories Shakespeare film - I liked it a lot more than they did!

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
Thunderbirds (DS8) Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly, Thomas the Tank Engine films (DS4)

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video? There are some surprisingly good films and shows on there, all on demand so you are never stuck for something to watch. I am really only just starting to explore it though.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family? I got Prime as I am a student at the moment so it didn't seem too expensive with the special rate, especially as there were a couple of movies relevant to my course which saved me buying them. The next day delivery has been fab for presents and last minute things.

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 as they didn't like the look of them, or thought they would be 'for girls'. Maybe they are right as I quite liked the look of Just Add Magic!

6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why? It has ben useful for lots of things I wanted urgently and I am just starting to feel my way around the video and music elements, but I think I might end up liking these just as much too.

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it? Just Add Magic - both my girls are obsessed!
2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why? Most hints but they love the programmes only available on Amazon, it provides a bit of variety compared to regular telly where lots of things are on repeat.
3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video? I can set age limits on what the DDs can watch.
4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family? It is part of our Amazon prime membership and means we can take telly out and about on iPads etc. especially as DD2 spends a bit of time in hospital.
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? Oh yes, we've watched a lot of these in the last week as DD2 has been poorly. She loves Wishenpoof best whilst DD1 (8) likes Just Add Magic.
6.Amazon Prime Video is one of many benefits included in Amazon Prime membership - how important is Amazon Prime membership to you and why? It is very important especially as we live in a small town without many shops that aren't coffee/charity shops and with a full time job/2 kids and a forgetful husband I just don't have to drive 25 minutes to the next largest town every time I realise we need party presents/music books etc.

  1. The last thing that I watched on Amazon Prime with my daughter was Wishenpoof. As it was part of the requests of this test. The only thing that I liked about it was that she appeared to enjoy it.
  2. My daughter enjoys watching things like My Little Pony, Pokemon or films like Cloudy With Meatballs. She enjoys well written content and being able to keep up with her peers as we do not subscribe to a TV service per se.
  3. My favourite thing about Amazon video is the variety and the lack of adverts. We don't subscribe to terrestrial television as I don't believe kids should be advertised to and so we use a variety of subscription movie/TV packages that don't use advertising. I think some of the Amazon original content is excellent.
  4. Amazon Prime appeals to my family as there is something for everyone. And no advertising at all which is very important to me.
  5. I'm not very keen on this seasons amazon original programs for kids, it doesn't seem to grab dd in the same way as her usual programming either. Wishenpoof for example isnt particularly pleasing to look at and has a pretty daft name. Tumbleleaf didn't get through one episode. It's a shame as the adult amazon original programming is so clever and we'll written but this season's kids offerings are not interesting my family.
  6. We use amazon prime fairly regularly for household goods and gifts. Without the television package I wouldn't necessarily say that it was worth it. We enjoy making use of both.

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it?
The last thing I watched with my children on prime video was Brave. My children loved the characters, my dds loved Merida and my ds's thought her little brothers were really funny, they spent a good few hours pretending to be the characters after the movie had finished.

2.What do your kids enjoy watching on Amazing Prime Video and why?
They tend to stick to the movies over TV programmes when watching prime video because they tend to be able to agree on a movie but not on a programme for some reason. They really like the Disney / Pixar movies as do I.

3.What is your favourite thing about Amazon Prime Video?
My favourite thing about prime video is the freedom to watch thousands of programmes and movies both on the TV and on tablets when away from home. When my ds was in hospital for a minor op it was a lifesaver to keep him occupied when he wasn't allowed to eat, it also gave me something to do while he was in theatre, I spent the time watching old episodes of Greys Anatomy on my tablet instead of clock watching.

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
It's appealing for the variety of things to watch, no matter what mood we're in there's usually something to watch. I also like the flexibility of being able to watch it when away from home, my dh works away during the week and takes his xbox and is usually able to use wifi to watch prime video instead of having to take a load of dvds with him to give him something to watch.

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 children haven't watched any of these as they didn't like the look of them. The only programme they've watched on prime video is teen titans which Ds1 is just starting to get into.

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'm another who gets it while being a student, I originally got it because I needed something quickly and I'd previously had a free trial and loved it. The next day delivery is brilliant for when I've forgotten one of the children has a birthday party and at Christmas I use it loads.
I also love prime music as o spend a lot of time walking every day and it gives lots of variety of music without using up all my phone memory.

One thing I'd like to see is being able to pay the £79 in monthly payments. I get the student rate for now and without it it would be too expensive for us to pay in one go. The monthly subscription currently available is more expensive amd not as good value.

I'd also love to see the old series of Greys Anatomy back on prime video for free rather than pay per episode.
