Fire 7 Kids tablet, 7" Display, ages 3-7, 16 GB, (2019 release), Purple Kid-Proof Case

UPDATE! It's now been 7 months since we've received this tablet for my 2 yr old! I LOVE it! More importantly he loves it! He uses it literally every single day. I am super impressed its still alive! Not a single scratch! Ready to order a 2nd and pass this one on to his younger brother!I bought this for my 2 yr old little guy. We have had it 2 months now & I'm in LOVE. Will be ordering a 2nd one here soon for my younger baby as soon as he is ready, and even thinking about one for my 10yr old son to help him get some extra help with reading. Here are my top Favorite things...1. Very Durable, Very Strong Case! 2 Yr. Warranty just incase.2. Screen set up allows him to play all on his own3. Amazon Kids FreeTime/Parental Controls/Pick the age you want content for.4. Getting so much Learning in!5. Great for an away from home distraction. Dr. Appointments/Car Rides.6. AGAIN Very DURABLE, Seems Unbreakable!CON... Took me a bit to figure out how everything worked best. How it was best to use/set up. At first I was ehhh with the Amazon Kids. But I DID get it all figured out & now I'm SUPER happy with everything & couldn't live without it!I'm taking the time out of my busy schedule to write out this review because I sure know its something I would have wanted to see before taking the plunge on this purchase before Christmas.So for #1. Very Durable, Very Strong Case! AND 2 Yr. Warranty just incase. My 2yr old being able to own a tablet without breaking it was one of the main things I was worried about. This thing is AMAZING! If I can give it to him to have all on his own & not have to worry about him breaking it you KNOW its got to be durable! I've already seen this thing take a couple of tumbles, throws & all. It bounces when it falls so eloquently, almost like a 5 star tumble routine, lol The edges of the case just seem to be designed in the most perfect way to create this tumble routine when it hits the floor. The only thing I can't do is let him use the tablet while plugged in. He has already broken 2 chargers off in the port from trying to pull it away. The charging port on the tablet itself made it through that disaster too! The A HUGE thing for me that made me go with THIS tablet over others was the 2 yr warranty. Its so nice to know we will be able to have it replaced if there ever is a problem. It takes a huge worry off my chest. He REALLY does love having this & it would be so sad to see it not around anymore.As for my #2 reason for loving this tablet (2. Screen set up allows him to play all on his own.) I can just hand this tablet to my 2yr old & he can navigate it perfectly. He cant get into the tablets settings, or anything other than what I choose for him to be in for that matter. This is really HUGE! This means he doesn't need me to fix something every 5 seconds that he cant navigate through himself. This all goes along with my #3 reason for loving this tablet....#3 The Amazon Kids... Little did I realize how awesome this would be to have over other tablet Brands. Its free for awhile with the purchase of the tablet, and then only like $2 a month after. Totally worth it! I will say there was a bit of a learning curve for ME to figure out how to use it. I think maybe this had alot to do with never owning an Amazon Product with different profiles, ect. Il explain further in a second. First, I can choose his age range, exact names I don't want him to use. For example say I don't want him to see any SpongeBob. You can also require or choose time limits for things. For example I want him to only be able to read for 30 minutes before going on to playing games. Or maybe I only want him to have an hour total of tablet time for the entire day. I set it up once and it takes care of everything after that. I dont have to be the meanie & take it away! lol This is why I'm really thinking about getting one for my 10 yr old. I have a hard time getting him to read. I think this would be a fun way to help him. I can set his age range, and the amount of time he needs to read each day.I'm running out of time writing this long review & need to get back to my responsibilities, so onto my one CON. lol It did take be a bit to figure out exactly how everything worked. For example I didn't realize I could go completely out of my Amazon kids profile into my own which basically was the interface of a regular old tablet/kindle. When you are in the kids profile your basically stuck on the Amazon Kids FreeTime interface. This is GOOD because this means your kid cant get into all the other things that would make it really complicated for them to use on their own. Its basically already set up with your OWN Amazon account that you already have. You can set up as many different profiles as you want. Kids or Adult! Within your Adult profile you have MUCH more detailed access to everything & even adding specific apps to your kids profile.So whenever we first got this I thought it was really odd you couldn't read detailed descriptions of apps to choose for your kids. I also didn't understand why I couldn't get other apps I wanted outside the Freetime interface. Under the kids profile you set your age range & amazon kids gives your kid everything age appropriate that they would enjoy. You basically just see a picture, click it & it downloads it to your kids library without much detail. Well, under the ADULT profile you can add things as a parent that you want them to have. You can see descriptions of the apps and all. You can also go to the Amazon app store and pick apps you want to add that aren't necessarily included in the Freetime interface.Also, when we first started using this I had myself all concerned with how on the FreeTme interface everything available in his FreeTime (that I STILL chose restrictions for) was just downloadable. I guess I was worried he would just download everything until he had no space left. All books, all videos, all everything. Well, yes he did fill up his memory but its fine! I can go back through every once in awhile & take out some things so he can get new things. A trick I also learned was if you go ahead and turn WIFI of, it ONLY shows the content already downloaded on the screen. Either way it ended up fine. After a couple weeks of using it he learned all on his own how to navigate things. Keep in mind he is only 2. It all worked out. He actually knows when he sees the Youtube arrow that those are videos he can watch. (Youtube is also under restrictions from the Freetime app & are age appropriate. You can always allow more, or less if you want under the adult profile) Also keep in mind there are the Parental Controls where if you want your child to read for so long before the games show you can do that too.All I know is WE LOVE THIS! Even after it was a bit odd at first to figure out or get used to. I would HIGHLY recommend this tablet for young kids/babies over anything else! I hope this review helps someone out there take the plunge on this. I waited quite a few months thinking about it because I wasn't sure he was ready for something like this. I'm totally glad we got it. The educational value this has offered us has been perfect! My son knows so much at 2. His colors, his letters, his numbers. I'm giving this tablet some credit for sure! :)

This tablet is no more and no less than what a starter tablet needs to be. I’d say it’s perfect for kids 5 and under. I gifted them to my 2 and 3-year-old nieces for Christmas this year and they seem to love them. I also caught them in November when they were 2 for $100 so I feel like I got a great deal.Setup: I'm used to iOS as all my devices are Apple, but setup was easy enough. I didn't run into any major issues or glitches that hindered me from adding their apps and books. It connected to a Wi-fi network just fine. No problems.Function: The screen quality is clear and crisp. Touch-screen response is good. The icons are displayed largely and vibrantly for simplicity and ease of use for small children. Apps open and close with no random glitches or error messages. The bumper case around it provides a thick layer of protection and makes it easier for your kid to grip the tablet and hold onto it. Would also be very difficult for a toddler to mischievously try and take it off. The little kickstand is a nice touch for stationary use, although, teach your child to be ginger with it. I can see it being very easy to break it off if you’re man-handling and kids can be rough with their things.Freetime Content: I was able to choose mainstream content they know and love so that it better holds their interest. Frozen, Mickey, Hotel Transylvania, Spongebob. Basically, all their favorite Disney and Nickelodeon stuff with a variety of other things sprinkled in. The content selection gets an A+.Content Sharing: You can choose to “share content” from your Amazon account under their Freetime profile, which is how I added their movies. There may be another way to add movies to their profile, but I didn’t play around with it long enough to figure it out. That method was easiest for me, so I ran with it.Features: The parent or guardian has ALL control regarding what their child sees or does under the Freetime profile, and profiles cannot be switched without a pin. That’s awesome unless your kid is like some type of baby hacker genius who can figure that pin out. Then beware, I guess. Otherwise, the Freetime profile is isolated and has its own thing going. It's JUST for kids. No inappropriate apps or videos mixed in for you to filter through. No wacky settings you must turn on or off to fix things the exact way you want them to be. If you allow the child to be connected to the internet while using, you don't have to worry about them seeing anything they’re not supposed to. When you set up the Freetime profile, you will also be entering your child's age which will customize the look of the profile and the type of content that will be offered for download as far as learning stages and comprehension. Does a huge chunk of the work for you when it comes to picking out things your kid will enjoy. Lastly, these have a feature that allow you to place time limits on how long and often your child can use the tablet. Now, my personal belief is that if the child is using kid-friendly content, they’re learning, and are being kept productively occupied, I don’t see the harm in them using the tablet for longer than is deemed “normal” or “acceptable” by someone with a big mouth. It’s common sense to try and not to let your kid turn into a couch potato. I don’t have children, but I still know it’s tough being a parent, so I’ll reserve judgement as should everyone else. Kids are rambunctious balls of constant energy and if these provide you with even the tiniest moments of peace & harmony from your kids, don’t be guilted or shamed out of letting them use it often. The world is technology driven and it can only put your child ahead of the curve to be fluent in the use of electronics. If you see your child developing an unhealthy addiction, that’s when I’d step in. Chances are, they know when to throw the tablet down and go chase the dog or climb a tree. Again, just my opinion.Suggested Additional Purchases: You may want to pick up an SD card as 16 Gigabits is NOT enough storage for a tablet and fills up quickly. If you’re wanting to store a good amount of movies/shows for long car rides, doctor visits, etc., spring for additional storage. A car charger would also be a good idea for travelling, especially chargeable battery packs so that it can be re-charged even if you can’t get to a power outlet. Also, headphones, headphones, HEADPHONES for kids! Unless you want to help Dora the Explorer cross that bridge 13,000 times, I suggest you grab a pair!Complaints: I don’t really have any complaints about them as of right now. They work well and the babies are happy with them. My only hope is that they can withstand the juice, food particles, and sticky candy-coated fingers coming their way. Even if they only get a few years out of them, they’re worth what I paid. The older they get, I’ll spring for something more advanced. For their age right now though, these are perfect.

Daughter’s first tablet ! And she loved it as did i, affordable and having the vase helped out so much to keep it safe as she was growing. Doesn’t hold that much space if your looking for something of that nature but it serves its purpose if you need or want jsut a regular electronic. To stream YouTube or have a few games on for you little one. Comes just as pictured, arrived late but it was the holidays and around Christmas, packaged nicely, no electronical errors to note, and she still has this after 4 years later… it did hold up I can say that! She dropped it several times as she was only 2 at the time so many drops it did take but never broke or was busted. I will highly recommend getting an extra screen protector however, but the case itself is rubber and the color is exactly the pink as shown ….. tablet holds charge but not as compared to the ones today so maybe they have upgraded them since, heavy duty durable outside rubber case to protect from everyday wear and tear also comes equipped with the kick stand built into the case which is also durable to help prop it up when videos are playing and they cannot hold it at the same time, this was my daughters favorite part about it that and the fact that it was pink and her first big girl tablet! I highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase their LOs first tablet!
