Do you need a kid-friendly tablet that doesn’t break the bank AND has easy-to-use parental controls?
If the answer is YES, then it is hard to ignore the Kids Fire Tablet for the price.
It is rated one of the BEST tablets on the market for kids and here is why …
The Fire Tablets include age filters to ensure kids are exposed to ‘age-appropriate’ content.
You no longer need to worry about inappropriate ads or garbage content popping up in front of their eyes.
Most importantly, it is kid approved AND parent approved.
Here are the Amazon Fire Tablet Reviews for the Fire 7, Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10.
We will explore what you need to know and how these tablets compare so you can make the most informed decision.
Here is to a future of you no longer giving up your own device. 🙂

Commonly Asked Questions

9.2” x 7.2” x 1.0” (233 mm X 184 mm X 26 mm).

If you need the tablet to charge FASTER (under 4 hours) you can do it with a 9W power adapter which is sold separately.

Final Takeaway
The Fire HD 8 (released in 2020) is definitely more suped-up than the Fire 7.
If your child is a little older and enjoys listening to music, shows, and movies, the Dolby Atmos feature will come in handy with the added surround sound format.
Plus, if your kid loves downloading apps the extra RAM 2 GB will definitely help as each app you open will use a certain amount of RAM to operate.
However, if downloading numerous apps is not something your child does than the RAM 1 GB is sufficient with the Fire 7.
Next, let’s take a look at the Fire HD 10 Kids Tablet which has been kicked up a notch with even MORE features.

How do the Fire Kids Tablets Compare?
You’ll see that price is the biggest difference.
The higher the price, the better the storage, resolution, and battery life.

An Apple iPad can run you upwards of $500 PLUS for a tablet.
Let’s visually compare all 3 Fire Kids Tablets …
What is Amazon Kids+?
Formerly called FreeTime Unlimited, Amazon Kids+ is an all in one subscription that comes with each Fire Kids Tablet for FREE for one year.
It includes a TON of fun, educational, and engaging activities that your precious one will absolutely love (suggested 
for ages 3 to 12 years and includes popular networks such as PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, Disney, and more).
Plus, it has thousands of Spanish kid-friendly content in books, apps, games, videos, and audio books (popular brands such as Sésamo, Dora, Sonic the Hedgehog, Nickelodeon, Disney, and more).
You can have a peace of mind knowing your child is exposed to kid-friendly content ONLY due to the strict age-filters put into place.
ALL content they see or click on is age appropriate.
You no longer need to worry about inappropriate ads popping up or your child clicking on content they shouldn’t be exposed too.
With Amazon Kids+ your child gets …
- Over 20,000 books
- TV shows
- Movies
- Apps
- Games
What your child will NOT get (or have access to) …
- Social media
- Alexa
- In-app purchases require a parent’s approval
What’s even better?
You have the freedom to add MORE content to your child’s profile if you want to.
For instance, if your kiddo loves Disney+, you can download the app or if they are a Minecraft fan, you can download the game. 🙂
After your 1 year free subscription of Amazon Kids+ is up you will be billed $2.99/month plus any taxes that apply.
You can cancel Amazon Kids+ at any time by going to your ‘Amazon Parent Dashboard’ or by contacting customer support at 1-(888) 280-4331 or emailing cis@amazon.com (for billing questions) and primary@amazon.com (for general inquiries).
For a Child Who is Blind or Visually Impaired
If you have a child who is blind or visually impaired there is a voice view screen reader for a majority of the Fire Tablet features, you can use text-to-speech, or a connectable refreshable braille display.
There is also a few other accessibility features included on all Fire Tablets such as:
- Screen magnifier (zoom in, zoom out, or pan around the screen)
- Closed captioning (not available for all content)
- Font size
- High contrast text
- Color inversion and correction
Final Thoughts
If you need a kid-friendly tablet that’s safe, educational, and entertaining, the Fire Tablet is one of the BEST tablets made just for kids.
AND the price isn’t too shabby either compared to other tablets or iPads that can run you hundreds of dollars.

There are many benefits this fun learning devices gives to our kids. It helps to keep them engaged on some educational content/software, and also develop their brain. Most kids I’ve come across think faster than their peers because of these tech. So I think it’s crucial to get one of the above for our kids. I’m glad you mentioned parental control. It’s very vital. We would not want our kid exposed to some content that is not age-appropriate. I’ll take my time to choose one as a birthday gift for my nephew.
Thanks for sharing Kelvin! I enjoyed your thoughts about the Kids Fire Tablet. 🙂
Hello there, thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful piece of information here with us. I must say i really did enjoyed going through your review. I really do find this very helpful to me, my kid always talked about getting one of these tablets. I think i know which of these will be more preferable for him, thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for sharing!
While I don’t have any kids at home any more, I do have grandkids. Both have experience some work-from-home school time over that last few months, and it would seem that this is a viable option for them, especially my 7 year old granddaughter. You have written a great review here… I appreciate it.
Thanks Greg! So glad the information was helpful to you. I appreciate your feedback. 🙂
I heard about this tablet sometime ago and I didn’t know if it was just the best one for me to give a try. Seeing you write about it now makes it feel so cool even more because now I know more about it. I suppose this is a product from Amazon and that’s one of the biggest companies out there now. This is a good product. Love it!
Thanks Jackie! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and glad you found the post helpful. 🙂
Thanks for this thorough review. With kids today, if they don’t like something, let’s face it, they just won’t use it. The birght colors make it attractive to them. They also want to emulate you. If you are on a tablet or computer, they want to use one too. This give them their own device with the feel of something that is “custom” for them.
Thanks for your feedback Marsha!
Thanks a lot for this amazing review of the kids fire tablet and I like it, it is very very understandable and very detailed too. I like the concept of the tablet and the fact that it meets the standard of impacting children in a good way, it is a good idea to get one for your kids and I’d love to do so. Thanks for sharing
I appreciate you sharing! Thank you 🙂
Hi,
From my research review, the best kids tablets are a great way for kids to learn how computers work, as they boast their touch screen user interfaces and often simpler operating systems, and if you buy a kids tablet, you get comprehensive parental controls to help you stop junior from browsing adult oriented websites or making in-app purchases.
Thank you.
Aluko.
Absolutely, thanks for sharing Aluko. 🙂
Oh! Actually love the way this fire tablet is. I like that it is very handy and also very soft in total to us. It can make for a very good tab for kids especially considering the academic benefits to it too. Surely a good one to look out for and might be worthy the money spent on it. Thanks so much for sharing here
