   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

[Toomanycats99]

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!)

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.

I love it and it is great value. I am often not as organised as I should be re birthday presents and it is great to find exactly what I am looking for on Amazon and get next day delivery. I am as student so I get the reduced price for membership so it is a really good deal.

[GinetteandWill]

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?
Lots of programs for my kids to watch on demand without annoying adverts

4.What makes Amazon Prime Video appealing to you and your family?
There's something for everyone to watch, even the baby (she loves Peppa Pig)

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.

[Troika]

1.What was the last thing you watched with your kids on Amazon Prime Video and what did you like about it? Paddington, great family movie
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
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 hadn't watched any of them but dd watched just add magic for the purposes of feedback. She said it was quite good
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.

[lotsoffunandgames]

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!

[WhenDoISleep]

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.

[jes73]

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.

[Tinytoas]

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!!
