Make Your Kindle Fire HD Safe for Kids!
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. One of the best tablets for kids is the Amazon Fire, for a number of reasons. 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.
Once you've accepted that children don't need the latest and most powerful tech, there are few choices to be made. Amazon sells different versions of its Fire tablet and we'd heartily recommend the basic Fire model , as it's ideal for children.

All 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. It's a plastic build, but if you're buying it for a child, you'll want a case to provide all-round protection. You'll also want to put it in a case. There are lots of options on Amazon , but we'd recommend the MoKo Shockproof Defender pictured above in pink.

However, there's a special model specifically for kids and this is an Amazon Fire tablet that comes in a foam bumper cover. The big kicker here is that you get a 1-year free subscription to Fire for Kids Unlimited. This is a subscription service that provides access to loads of content specifically for children.

We'll talk about it more below, but bear in mind that at the end of the year, you'll have to pay, or lose the access it provides. Now to the specifics. When you buy an Amazon product, it needs to be registered to an Amazon account. With Amazon allowing Households, it's best to have any child's device Fire or Kindle on your account, setup with a child profile.
This way you don't have to create a new Amazon account for them, you don't have register an email address for them or provide payment details for them, and Amazon knows that the user is a child and can create a space specifically for them on your Fire tablet.
Amazon Fire tablets - like the Kindle - can be split into two areas. The first area is the full interface with full controls, which you'll have access to as an adult, with access to all your content. The second is Fire for Kids. Fire for Kids called FreeTime in the US is a safe area where you can control all the content, set time limits and daily goals, turn off the web browser, turn off the camera and gallery and so on. As Fire for Kids is designed for children, it's a safe place and instantly recognisable, turning the background blue, so you can see at a glance that they're in the right zone.
To exit Fire for Kids, they can opt to exit a profile, returning to the lock screen with all the user profile icons on it. This is why it's essential that you have a password on all the adult accounts, to stop them then entering your area and getting full access again. Children don't get to change settings themselves, so that all has to be handled from the adult profile. One of the things you'll need to do in the regular Fire for Kids app is nominate the content that your children will have access to.
This can be repeated for books or video content that you've purchased from Amazon, but bear in mind that you're responsible for the suitability of this content. You could, for example, grant access to a video app that has inappropriate content or books that are for adults. Equally, you can assign games that have advertising or community features that you don't know about, so make sure you check that everything is appropriate for the child you're granting access to.
Fortunately, Fire for Kids blocks in-app purchases. Unlimited is a label that Amazon applies to further subscription content. It has tiered pricing: Amazon also offers a free 1-month trial, which you can sign-up for here , if you want to give it a go. Fire for Kids Unlimited provides a couple of benefits over the regular Fire for Kids offering that comes with all Fire tablets. Many are perfect for kids.
Before buying Fire Kids Edition, check out which and how many kids movies are available in Prime. Maybe the latter subscription is not needed at all.

The first thing you should check out when the tablet for your kid arrives is parental controls. The regular version of the Fire has them too. It will also prevent your child from accessing adult content. A passcode only you know will be needed to unlock the content. If your kid wants to get a new game, she or he will come and ask you to buy it — and you will see what your child is interested in.
Its cost is calculated into the price of Fire Kids Edition, right? The case included in the Fire Kids Edition is not waterproof. For instance, Poetic TurtleSkin Rugged Case for Fire 7 includes a portable stand which makes it much easier to watch videos. It also has a unique corner protection with perforated shock absorber design and offers a sound-amplification feature.
You can use it in several devices — the one you currently own and the one you will buy next year.
Therefore, anyone who prefers a microSD card to internal memory would go for the cheapest possible version of the Fire tablet. Are you interested in getting more posts like this?
