The Best Kids Tablet - The Fire HD 10 Kids Tablet

My absolute favorite kids tablet hands down is the Amazon Fire HD tablets.

I have been through several Fire HD tablets for my two oldest children in the last several years.

Not because there is anything wrong with them, but because I love them, and have wanted to upgrade frequently to take advantage of new features.

I had the original Fire HD (I believe back then it was called a kid's Kindle) and then I upgraded to the Amazon Fire HD 7 tablet version, then bought two of the Fire HD 10 Kids Editions for my two oldest children.

And, most recently I have purchased the Fire HD 10 Kids Edition Tablet – 10.1” 1080p full HD display, 32 GB  for my youngest.

Yep, she got the newest and the best. Sometimes waiting pays off.

The case on this one is also an upgrade with a built in stand.

I cannot tell you how much my children have used random objects to prop their tablets up.

Now this one does it on its own. It's a nice feature of the case I wouldn't have thought I needed.

Amazon has also recently created a new product called the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet, 10.1", 1080p Full HD, ages 6–12, 32 GB, Doodle.

Read on my for my review of the Fire HD 10 and what is the same and different between the HD 10 Kids and the HD 10 Kids Pro.

Here's what I LOVE about the Fire HD 10 Kids Edition Tablet

My reasons I believe this is the BEST Amazon kid tablet you can get for a toddler or young child:

  • The kid proof case and 2 year worry free guarantee. Out of five tablets over the years, I have had to use the worry free guarantee three times, and each time it was easy and with no issues.

  • The included 1 year of Kids+ subscription which gives us access to thousands of apps. And it's all child appropriate and I really do not have to worry about what my kids are downloading.

  • The parental controls. I can control everything for each of my children's profiles from any of the devices.

  • I can give the kids access to Netflix or YouTube, or whichever apps I want them to have. They cannot access them without my permission however.

  • I love my Apple products for me, but when it comes to a tablet for children I really do prefer the Fire HDs to the iPad. There is so much more parental control, and it's much more affordable. It's more affordable for the tablet itself, and for the content with the included Free Time Unlimited.

The features I mention above are available on all the Fire HDs.

Here is what I love about the Fire HD 10 tablet specifically:

  • It has the nicest screen yet in terms of size and specs. 10" does seem large for a child ,and I had to get used to it at first.

  • I now love it because I have my first grader using it for her class reading apps and homework, and it really can replace a laptop for her at this age.

  • The 10 has the longest battery yet. It lasts much longer than our previous 7 version.

  • The storage is 32 GB right off with the ability to expand it. Our first Fire tablet was set at 8 GB and filled up quickly. Being able to expand the storage is critical.

Here is some information from Amazon about the Fire HD 10 tablet:

  • Save up to $99 on a full-featured tablet (not a toy) for kids ages 3–7 that includes 1 year of Amazon Kids+, parental controls, a Kid-Proof Case, and 2-year guarantee, versus items purchased separately.

  • Easy-to-use parental controls allow you to filter content and set educational goals and time limits.

What is the difference between the Fire HD Kids and the Fire HD Kids Pro?

Fire HD Kids Pro Tablet

The tech specs on the tablet are the same.

The main differences between the two are a more streamlined less childish case on the pro, and more content access.

Fire HD tablet

Kids have access to a digital store where they can request access to items and parents can approve it.

One thing I have always loved about the Fire tablets is all the parental control.

Amazon kid tablet

I admit the Fire HD Pro is very appealing looking, and the updated content for ages 6-12 is probably better for my older children going forward.

All three of my kids currently use Kids Fire 10's but when they are ready to upgrade we will go with the Pro version.

The cost is the same but there are deals frequently so I will keep checking prices.
