Better than an iPad for kids
We are Apple people over here but we were having such a hard time regulating kids’ iPads and keeping kids from certain content while also allowing them to access kid-appropriate material easily. That being said, the Amazon kids tablet allows us to do these things with ease! I LOVE the parent dashboard. Love that I can make kids read before they have game access and love that I can be sure their apps are age appropriate. I can allow them as much or little time each day and love that I can pause their tablet time from my phone if I need to. We got the Amazon app subscription for free with the purchase and honestly I really love it. Kids can easily browse and download apps with a click of a button. I don’t allow them access to choose from apps that are any additional cost, so that hasn’t been a problem for us. Also, knowing the Amazon subscription makes apps ad free and being able to set the age limit on apps gives me peace of mind knowing kids are safe from being exposed to some weird stuff (I found some of the ads on free apps on their iPads were questionable for my kids). All that to say we love these tablets and would highly recommend for kids! We do have a smaller and older version 7” for kids 3-7 and I do feel this 8 kids pro is def faster at receiving info from dashboard changes on my phone. Sometimes the younger kids version 7”takes a while or needs to be restarted to get the info if I change things on the parent dashboard. Just something to consider if you’re trying to decide between the kids 8 pro and the younger kids 7” version.

I am trying to get support for this device to have it repaired or replaced.
Amazon called and took care of my issues. It took a while on the phone but 100% happy with the result. This is suppose to have a 2 year warranty. I have been trying for a month to try to refund it, get it looked at or replaced. It allows me to click on return and sends me to support and nothing helps and talked to a support person via chat. It is not broken, cracked or misused and has a case. So hopefully Amazon will respond now that I have placed this review. All three of my girls have them all bought on Amazon. This one will not turn on used different chargers and cords and including but not limited to the one it came with. Please contact me so we can get this taken care of.

Awesome Battery Life, Faster than Older Versions
I bought these for my kiddos for a long car trip we had coming up (17 hours). I was skeptical because the older tablets are so slow, and my kids are heavily into Roblox. However, these are not slow at all! Roblox never crashed (unless our hotspot had no service), the tablets lasted all day without having to be recharged, they are super easy to download new and exciting games. Overall, they love them!These are also faster than the 5th generation iPads!

The Perfect Kid's Tablet
We purchased this tablet specifically for entertainment purposes for our children. But this tablet has provided that and so much more! It's appropriate for ages 3 years to 7 years old. It comes with a kid-friendly case, an 8-inch screen, and a pull-out stand that converts to a handle making it easy to transport and travel with. The ports available for this table is a C connector, USB, and headphone jack. It comes with 32 GB of internal storage with an option to expand and add even more storage with a Micro SD slot that expands to 1 TB of storage. It has an advanced audio port design. It has a dual band Wi-Fi. This tablet, if fully charged can last up to 12 hours. Giving your child 12 hours of video watching, music, gaming, reading, and educational activities, and great for long trips. It is easy to use for children and parents with its Parental Controls through Amazon Kids and Amazon parent's dashboard. Amazon Kids + provides unlimited access to age-appropriate content, that includes programs like STEM, Math Claw or books in different languages. It has 1280x800 resolution. You can get this tablet in a Bule and Turquoise, Disney Pixar option, Disney Princess or Grape. This is a great table for children and Parents!Tia H.

Please bring back Lego Batman
We try to order our son a new tablet at least once a year. He is disabled and doesn’t play with regular toys. However; he loves his Kids Amazon Fire Tablets. They’re very well made and offer great protection with the included kid proof cases. All of his tablets have been lightweight and easy to use. Parental controls help give us peace of mind; knowing he won’t be able to make purchases and access content that isn’t appropriate for him. The only downside I could possibly say about the tablet isn’t even with the tablet. It’s with certain game availability. The first tablet we purchased our son ever; he had access to Lego Batman; it was the only true game he figured out how to play. Then Amazon took it out of the free access rotation and it completely crushed my son. No; to us this isn’t a big deal. But to a disabled child that was use to grabbing his tablet and playing his favorite game; was literally heartbreaking to see.

Not cochlear compatible unless with mini mic
Works amazing! The only downside about this product is that my daughter has a cochlear implant and it does not allow streaming to her devices. The only products that do are android & apple unfortunately 😔 so we returned this item.

Battery life & LOVE
Super cute AND the battery life is SO good. I’ve bought other kids tablets and the battery’s drain like crazy and/or they charge soooo slowly. Previous tablets haven’t been kids approved. But this one? This one gets two thumbs up from each of my kids. We love them!

Excelente Tablet para iniciar en el Techworld
Compre esta Tablet para mi hija de 5, y ha sido la mejor inversion, la siento muy segura, soy muy quisquillosa en cuanto al internet y es la mejor tablet en ese sentido, por que tiene apps que pueden incluso usarse sin internet, hay que tener algo claro, es una tablet para ninos, y no lo categorizaria como para la escuela, si no mas bien como para el uso diario y jugar. Se carga un poco despacio, pero la bateria le dura muchisimas horas, incluso muchos dias. Tenemos casi 1 anho con la tablet y ha sido genial!
