Parental controls on the Amazon Fire
The Amazon Fire has some very strict parental controls, so parents don’t have to worry about their children accessing the internet. The web browser is designed with built-in controls to help filter out inappropriate sites, allowing you to block specific ones so that children can browse the web independently but safely.
The Amazon Fire hosts a digital shop whereby children can request games and books, and parents can approve purchases and downloads using the online Parent Dashboard.
At their own discretion, parents can add access to even more apps, such as Minecraft and Zoom so that they can feel in control of their child’s online experience every step of the way.
Can you put Netflix and Disney on an Amazon Fire kids’ tablet?
The answer is yes! Both Netflix and Disney apps are available for download on the Fire Tablet. Head to your Amazon Parent Dashboard to manage your child’s content.
Spec of the HD 8 Kids Pro
Let’s chat about battery life. You’ll want to know you’re investing in something that won’t shut down when you need it most, and the good news? This Amazon Fire ticks that box. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro offers 13 hours of battery life for reading, watching videos and listening to music. Okay, we don’t mean for that 13 hours to be enjoyed on the trot – according to Twinkl, it’s recommended that kids aged 5-17 should limit their screen time to no more than two hours a day – but it means you won’t have to charge your tablet constantly. Based on two hours a day, it’s going to last a week!
When it comes to the techie stuff, the HD 8 Kids Pro has a vibrant 8-inch HD display made from strengthened aluminosilicate glass. Yes. It’s tough – especially combined with its bump-proof case. It’s 30% faster than the previous generation, thanks to an enhanced hexa-core processor, and offers kids crystal clear and immersive Dolby Atmo sound. There’s 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, and 1 TB of expandable storage, so it’s excellent for downloading all the apps they need to keep them busy. There’s also a 2 MP front and rear-facing camera so that they can snap photos to their heart’s content.
The Amazon Fire HG 8 Kids Pro comes with a worry-free two year guarantee. If the tablet breaks, return it and Amazon will replace it for free.
RRP: £149.99.
