With a year of parenting experience under my belt, I now understand the hype of these tablets that have over 20,000 reviews on Amazon. They are not all noisy cartoons and mindless games. Each one comes with a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which means kids can enjoy thousands of educational videos, music, books, and more content for learning and entertainment.
Read on to see why I think the Amazon Fire 7 Kids Tablet is worth the buy, and be sure to check back for more of Post Wanted’s live coverage of October Prime Day.
Amazon Fire 7 Kids Tablet
Fire tablets are wonderful for entertainment, but they’re also great for parents. If you’re worried about your kid’s eyes getting glued to the screen — don’t be. Parents can easily set limits and filter content based on their kid’s ages. For me, this is probably the biggest-selling feature of the Fire Tablet.
That being said — these tablets last a long time. With a 13-hour battery life, your little one will certainly have enough entertainment to last them through a long road trip or flight. Not to mention, they’re also drop-proof. The tablet comes with a kid-proof case and a kickstand for easy viewing.
I never thought I’d purchase an Amazon Fire Tablet for my daughter. But my feelings have changed, and now that this one is marked down 50%, there’s almost no excuse to snag it up while it’s at the lowest price of the year.
