Note that there's an updated version of this tablet which has been announced by Amazon, but is not yet available - if you're looking to buy new, then obivously the new version has many advantages. If you want more storage, that's £10/$20 more too - so you're probably better off with a microSD card. Special offers means lock screen advertising and if you really want to protect your kids, opt for no special offers, at £10/$15 more. The Amazon Fire comes in 16GB or 32GB storage options, and with or without "special offers". It's a plastic build, but if you're buying it for a child, you'll want a case to provide all-round protection. The regular Amazon Fire 7 tablet is a 7-inch tablet, powered by a quad-core processor and offering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot for memory expansion.

This is an advantage over a regular Android tablet, which doesn't (although Google Family Link has some uses), and it's at least £290 cheaper than an Apple iPad, although if you've bought a lot of iTunes content or have iOS-specific apps in mind, that might be a barrier to your choices. Amazon sells different versions of its Fire tablet and we'd heartily recommend the basic Fire 7 model, as it's ideal for younger children.Īll the Amazon Fire models run on the same user interface and offer the same software features, including all the controls you need to make it safe for your kids. Once you've accepted that children don't need the latest and most powerful tech, there are few choices to be made. Firstly, the price, secondly, Amazon has put a lot of effort into providing parents with controls to ensure that the Fire is a safe place for kids.

One of the best tablets for kids is the Amazon Fire, for a number of reasons.

The big problem is that most adults have a tablet setup for themselves, meaning you're only a few clicks away from content or buying temptations that you don't want in the hands of your child. They love the interactive games, they love having access to video to watch and they love all the apps.
