The Fire HD 8 Kids tablet has seamlessly integrated into our family, becoming a cherished companion for my 2-year-old. Its user-friendly interface has transformed screen time into an engaging and educational experience. The simplicity of navigation makes it easy for my little one to explore the colorful world of games and cartoons independently.
What sets the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet apart is its carefully curated content for young minds. My toddler's eyes light up with joy as she immerses herself in interactive games that foster learning and creativity. The tablet's ability to strike a balance between entertainment and education aligns perfectly with my parenting values.
Among her favorites is the captivating world of Dora the Explorer, where each episode unfolds like a new adventure. The vibrant visuals and interactive elements keep her entertained while subtly imparting valuable lessons. As a parent, witnessing her enthusiasm for learning through play is truly heartwarming.
Moreover, the tablet's durability is a relief for this parent of an energetic toddler. Designed with the chaotic nature of childhood in mind, it withstands the occasional bumps and spills that come with little hands exploring the digital realm.
In essence, the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet has not just become a gadget; it's a source of joy and learning for my 2-year-old. Its ease of use, coupled with age-appropriate content, has seamlessly integrated technology into our daily routine, creating moments of both fun and education for my little one.
I received the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet for my four-year-old daughter. This tablet is nothing short of being amazing! Prior to receiving this she was using one of my old phones to play games and watch videos on. I was surprised how eager she was to completely switch to using this tablet. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition arrived in a small box with everything you need to get set up right away. The tablet already comes with a Blue Kid-Proof, durable case already installed (which also has a built-in stand) and USB charging cord. I also like how easy it was to set up; you just follow the straightforward, on-screen prompts or you can use the included manual. I linked my daughter’s tablet onto my own Amazon account because from there, I could control the content on her tablet, set restrictions, manage web browsing and content and add/remove programs as I see fit. This tablet has a 8” HD display, micro SD slot, Quad Core with 2GB of ram, dual band AC WiFi, front and rear cameras and DOLBY atmos sound. The picture is crystal clear and the sound is so much better than the phone she was using. She’s able to watch and download all kinds of games, books and videos according to her age. I love that the tablet already had recommendations on the screen after I configured it to her age. It even had Halloween content which I thought was neat because of it being used in the month of October. The other thing I thought was awesome was how this tablet comes with a year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited which gives my daughter access to over 20,000 books, games, videos, educational content from PBS kids, Audible books, Disney etc. This table also comes with a 2-year worry free guarantee where they will fix or replace the tablet for free should anything happen to it. Thanks to the hardy case on this tablet, my daughter has already dropped it several times and it has been protected. The cameras on this tablet work really well (not crystal clear pictures) but it’s still fun to use. The charge also holds for a long time for hours of entertainment (comes in handy to use during our flights back and forth to Chicago). Overall, I think the Amazon tablets have come a long way. This Amazon Fire HD 8 is excellent for kids of any age and I’m sure it will become your child’s favorite! I would absolutely recommend this product!
First off I bought this while it was on discount. So instantly that was a steal.
Bought this for my 3 year old daughter, whom ai really wanted to get her own tablet so thag she can watch her own shows and play games whether at home or on the go.
Essentially what you are purchasing is the case protector, which works really great! This comes with a two year warranty and if you break it theyll replace it. So I decided to drop it from over 20 ft up and happy to say it still works (but won't due that again and I dont recommend it lol.)! Without the case it's just another ordinary firetablet.
Aside from the tablets durability it comes with (what I consider) two native Operating Systems. The tablet is an Android device but runs on Amazon OS that has two seperate native OS's. One for your child and one for the parents. Obviosuly the Child OS is age restricted and has Zero access to any web browser or social media content, but you can still access Kid friendly apps such as Tv shows, movies and games. In conjunction with any streaming service, if you have cable TV alreadh you can sign into the majority of the Kid friendly Streaming services (such as Nickoldeon, Nick Jr, PBS kids) so that you can watch more epsiodes provided by each app with no additonal subscription! BE WARNED, some apps almost make it a little too easy for children to make micro transaction purchases (such as buying in game currency) and that will charge off whatever methid of payment you have setup with your Amazon account, so I highly recommend setting up passwords and pins for any and all purchases and go through each application to see where purchases can be made and, if possible, disable or password protect it.
The Parent side OS is fairly standard for a Fire Tablet, it's all geared for everything Amazon. So if you have prime you can access all your content here, movies and music, if not do not fret! You can still go through and download any other strwaming service applications that you have subscribed to elsewhere (netflix, hulu, disney+, just to name a few) plus you can still access YouTube.
Onto my final tidbit review my only two real, complaints about the tablet is the amount of Memory RAM installed and the battery life.
Undersrand that with 4GB of Memory RAM means that the tablet can bog down from time to time or you may experience slow loading times when accessing applications. My best suggrstion would be to close out any multiple applications not in ise and if that still doesn't work then reset the tablet. I haven't flund where you could refresh the memory cache from the parent OS so soft restarting the, tablet is your best option.
My second complaint is the battery life (if I really have to pick out any flaws) if you, or your child, where to consistently use this device you'll get about a solid 3 to 4 hours battery life and it does take a little while to fully charge from 0 percent.
With all I have said I highly recommend this product for any parent who is looking to purchase their child their own tablet to watch movies and play games, while being able to use it themselves, have a device that comes with a strong case protector and is back by a two year warranty.
Would this be worth $130 to $160? Probably not, but again I bought this on disocunt for $100. If it is still on sale buy it. If not, then I would not recommend it for the normal going price
Overall product quality: 8/10 Overall Price for Product (with no disocunt) : 4/10
