Amazon is offering a 20% saving on one of its latest kids’ tablets for your children to play and watch movies on during the summer holidays
Finding a durable, travel tablet to keep the kids entertained can be a struggle, but one of the best and latest options on the market has just fallen in price. Amazon’s Fire 8 HD Kids Pro tablet is often regarded as one of the premium and safer tablet options for children aged between six and 12.
Offering ad-free books, plenty of games and videos to enjoy on an 8″ HD screen, along with parental controls and a 13-hour battery life, customers can also get 20% off the latest Amazon Fire HD 8 model, typically valued at £149.99 online.
By turning in an older model, shoppers can slash the price of the newest gen device down to £120.01. The original £149.99 price tag is the same as alternatives such as the HONOR Pad X8a tablet, available at Argos.
This device boasts an 11-inch screen with four-level eye protection for users as well as a protective silicone case. Amazon’s Fire HD 8 tablet features a similarly kid-friendly case and an array of parental control options to keep your kids safe on the go.
As mentioned above, the parental control options have been described as ‘excellent’ by happy customers, with the product racking up a 4.6-star rating from 390 reviews. “Great item, simple set-up and child-friendly with excellent parental controls.
“The case makes it feel very protected. Great value for money when on offer.” Another satisfied buyer noted it was ‘a great first tablet for the kids. They said: “Easy to set up and link to an Amazon account. Kid-friendly and cute case.
“Can lock the profile to switch between adult mode and child profile. Can also download loads of age-appropriate apps. The screen is a good size for children to watch and play.”
Eighty-three per cent of the reviews rate the tablet the full five stars, but some question accessibility features such as its profile switching system. One customer commented: “The biggest problem is profile switching. You can easily switch from the child’s profile to the adult profile, but not the other way around.
“Once I go into my own (adult) profile to adjust something, there’s no way to switch back into my child’s profile without fully restarting the tablet. It’s clunky and unnecessary, especially when you’re trying to make a quick change and hand it back.
“I understand Amazon wants to keep kids safe, but right now, it feels like they’ve locked down too much and forgotten how real families use these devices. A few simple improvements, like allowing profile switching from both directions and giving limited access to basic settings, would make a huge difference.”
