With one year of Fire For Kids Unlimited, children have access to thousands of popular apps, games, videos, books and educational content from Disney, Nickelodeon and more. The flexible parental controls help parents monitor usage limits, content access and set educational goals through the Amazon Parent Dashboard.
WHY: Children fashion & Campaign stylist Yvadney Davis said "My two kids (aged 6 and 4) love this - it's great for travel" and Junior Travel writer Karen Beddow - who travels regularly with her 3 daughters aged 6-7 years, added "A classic - the perfect travel product for kids." Junior Editor Bonita Turner said "Travelling with children without a Amazon Tablet is like trying to travel without a passport - it can't be done!"
Bonita added: "I know they get knocked for being a 'virtual babysitter' but if it means a little peace and quiet while travelling to ensure you all arrive unfrazzled - then its a yes from us. Plus the unique flexible parental controls means you can control what they see, do and watch and how much time they spend on the device."
