This is the feedback thread for the 30 testers with at least one child aged 3-8, who tested one of the following Amazon Fire Kids Edition Tablets:

  • Amazon Fire 7 Kids Edition tablet
  • Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet
  • Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition tablet

Here’s what Amazon has to say: “Fire Kids Edition tablets are built around three ideas: 1) kids break things, 2) kids want real tablets, not a toy, and 3) parents don’t want to worry about the bill. Each full-featured tablet comes with a kid-friendly case, and a 2-year worry free guarantee—if they break it, we’ll replace it, no questions asked. The device also comes with a year subscription to Fire for Kids Unlimited for unlimited access to thousands of kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games, and best-in-class parental controls to manage usage limits, content access and help set educational goals. A great gift this Christmas and a travel essential for kids during the holiday season.”

Testers please answer the following questions:
- Which Amazon Fire Kids Edition tablet did you test?
- Did you find that the Fire Kids Edition tablet held up to all your child’s needs and that the device performed well?
- What did you think about the protection package that is included with the device (i.e. the kid-friendly case and 2-year worry free guarantee)?
- Did you find the parental controls useful and easy to use? If so, what were your favourite features?
- Was your child happy with the content available through the 1 year Fire for Kids Unlimited subscription? Anything they felt was missing?
- Did you find the Parent Dashboard useful for engaging with what your kids were doing on the tablet?

All testers who leave the required feedback will be entered into a prize draw where 3 MNers will win a £100 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck

We have one of these. It’s ok when it works but if it’s not been online for too long it stops allowing app access. You have to connect it all up or ‘updates’ or some such. Unhelpful when you’re on holiday or when it does it at the start of a long journey!

We’re giving up on it and buying an iPad instead.
