[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Still trying to figure out all the Amazon fire 7. I got this for our daughter for a way to help her get ready for bed. A lot of features we don’t use and have to download everything else. I’m sure once we figure it out it will be better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fire tablet itself is great. I think it runs well isn't glitchy and the functionality is pretty easy to figure out. It works like any other tablet with apps and such. I will say the screen is pretty small if you're wanting watch something on it through.
For the kids part of this tablet, I do think the case is amazing. The stand works well and the case is very durable and giving for any impact. Talking about the Parent controls is a different story. I do like how difficult it seems to be for a kid to even find the "switch profile" option, I just don't like the parent controls. There's no option to remove all apps, or all books, etc.... So if I want to be able to fully control what my kid sees, I have to manually go in and remove EVERY SINGLE thing. That's a ton of work. Only then could I go in and allow only the books, apps, etc... that I want my kid to read/see. This is a really annoying feature. Parent's should have FULL control, instead, by default, everything is shown and you have to remove everything. The controls should be the opposite where I can only select the things I want my kid to see.
If you want full control as a parent, this is not the app for you. If you don't care what your kids are reading or listening too, than this is a great tablet with a great case. I guess it just depends on your style of parenting.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fire 7 Kids tablet is geared for toddlers and preschool kids. This tablet comes with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB or 32 GB of storage which would be sufficient for basic use. The storage can be further expanded upto 1 TB using a microSD card, if needed. The display screen is 7” and the picture quality is decent for toddler usage. There are 2 cameras and both the front and the rear one are of 2 MP resolution. There is a built-in microphone, a stereo headphone jack, a USB-C port and a speaker on the top. Parent dashboard is easy to use and allows to control access and set time limits to the apps. Alexa is available and can be setup on this tablet. The tablet comes in a kid proof case with a built-in stand. Overall, this is a good starter tablet for toddlers and preschool kids to watch videos, play games and use educational apps.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tablet for kids! This 7 inch tablet is very lightweight and has great picture quality. My kids have been using it to play educational games and read books. They take it with them everytime they get into the car for long drives. The speed is just right for them and sound quality is very good as well. Very happy overall with this tablet and the 2 year warranty that it comes with. I just wish it can download the YouTube app. It comes with a protector which makes it perfect!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We 1st bought a Fire 7 tablet (9th Gen) for my daughter when she had turned the age of 3. This is a great starter tablet for a kid! Inexpensive and usable. Granted it not the fastest tablet on the market but kid won’t notice the difference. If anything, she will appreciate it even more when she gets older and is able use a faster tablet. My daughter been using this Fire 7 tablet for almost 4 years, and it rock solid. The only issue we have is the micro-USB charge ports is starting to give out. It no longer making a good connection to the charging cable connector. The tablet can still charge but you must push and angle the connector just right for it to start charging. We paid like $30 for this thing so I would definitely say we got our money’s worth. It was just time to upgrade. We got the opportunity to get the new Fire 7 tablet (12th Gen) Kids Edition. This newer tablet is similar to our old tablet in many ways. Besides having the same screen size and an expandable storage port, it does have a few upgrades. 1 major upgrade is the charging port. It now has a USB-C charging port which is awesome because it the same charging port as our phones. Previously, when we traveled anywhere with her and her tablet, we had to ensure that we had a cable that could fit her tablet. Now she can just use the same cable that we use to charge our phone, to charge her tablet. Other upgrades include a faster processor and more RAM, which in turn make the newer tablet run faster and the more battery efficient. This Kid Edition tablet came with a durable kid’s case with a built-in stand, and it also included a 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ content. I really like this subscription because it allows her to ONLY download ad-free games and watch ad-free videos. You can set an ‘age filter’ to where it will only display the age-appropriate content. You can refine the filter even further by manually removing/blocking certain Kids+ content. The tablet also allows you, as a parent, to set screen time allowance, the time of day that the tablet can be used (weekdays vs weekend), and goals. I set a goal on the tablet to where she must read for at least 30mins a day before the tablet will enable any type of entertainment content. What I love most about this new tablet is that it no longer loads any ads on the lock screen! Overall, my daughter loves this new tablet and so do we.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Fire Kids Tablet is perfect for rough and tumble kids. I have it set up so my nieces can use it when they come over, and I don't have to worry about them stumbling onto something not kid-friendly. The color of the case is fun, and the case itself is super sturdy and durable. The built in stand is amazingly sturdy (my nieces are rough with this thing!) There are so many apps available for the Fire tablet now, you really don't miss anything! I love the year of Kids+ that's included, and how easy it is to manage with parental controls. I just miss FaceTime and wish the case was a tad easier to remove to use the OSMO system.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Amazon Fire 7 is a good tablet for younger children. They have parental controls to where you can set what they can access, put time limits on how long they can play, have peace of mind, and not have to look over their shoulders every minute to make sure the content they are looking at is age appropriate. The cover is great for the bumps and drops expected when being handled by a young child. It is very durable and I don't worry too much about the screen breaking. I do wish it had larger storage capabilities since my daughter downloads a lot of stuff. My only complaint is that the battery does not seem to last very long even with minimal playing. Overall, I would recommend this tablet for those that have small children and cannot afford an expensive tablet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really happy with this tablet and so was my son! With all the features included and the great sturdy case, it’s a fantastic option for child safe tablet. Amazon kids + the service included for a year free is GREAT. Once our trial has ended I will absolutely be continuing that service. The only con was with the memory card. We have several we aren’t using and tried every one and they won’t work for this tablet. It says I need a “10” and the ones I have won’t work to download additional apps. That’s the only reason I took a star away. I will be purchasing the card, but still disappointed that I need to purchase a new one and can’t reuse one we have here. All of the content that Amazon deems “child safe” has been, so I have no complaints and I haven’t seen or heard anything playing that was inappropriate. That’s a huge relief. This is an excellent kids tablet!
