"...the best tablet for young kids, in my opinion." � Babble

"Apple�s iOS doesn�t get anywhere near what Amazon offers in terms of time of day restrictions, time limits or now goal setting, as with FreeTime." � TechCrunch

"[FreeTime] eliminates the �just one more level, Dad� nightly debate." � Wired

Latest generation Fire HD

A full-featured Fire HD 6 or Fire HD 7 tablet that includes a beautiful HD display and Dolby Audio that's perfect for watching movies like Finding Nemo, plus a fast quad-core processor that ensures quick app launch times and smooth games and video. The Fire HD Kids Edition tablet comes in black (with blue, green, or pink Kid-Proof Case), 8 GB of storage capacity, and a 6 or 7-inch display. Show me

Unsurpassed reliability in its class

With a Gorilla Glass display and rigorous testing, Fire HD is unsurpassed in reliability among tablets for kids.

Front and rear cameras

Fire HD Kids Edition has a 2MP rear-facing camera that allows for high-resolution photos and 1080p HD video, and a front-facing camera that's perfect for when you want to set up video calls between kids and grandparents.

New Amazon FreeTime camera and photo software lets kids explore their creative side with fun editing tools like adding stickers and drawings on their pictures. Parents can easily print them to hang, choose to share with friends and family, or auto-save to Cloud Drive with free unlimited cloud storage for photos taken with Fire HD. As always in Amazon FreeTime, kids are blocked from posting photos to social media.

Designed with kids in mind

Fire HD Kids Edition starts in Amazon FreeTime, which is built from the ground up just for kids. The background color and fonts change to a kid-friendly design, they only see the titles that they have access to see, the home screen carousel shows their recently viewed titles, and they can even navigate visually to content based on characters or topics�for example "Cinderella," "Dinosaurs," or "Puppies.�

Profile for kids

Parents can create up to four individual child profiles and choose titles from their own collection of content that they want to give each of their kids access to. It's like giving each kid their very own, personalized tablet. A child�s profile does not have access to the Fire HD built-in web browser, in-app purchases, email, or social media features. Show me

Profile for parents

Parents can take Fire HD Kids Edition out of Amazon FreeTime using a password. Fine tune settings, download apps, or share kids� drawings with family on Facebook. You can choose specific books, videos, and apps for your child to see in Amazon FreeTime from your library or when you purchase new content from Amazon.com.

Hits kids love from PBS, Nickelodeon, Disney and more

Amazon FreeTime Unlimited is the first-ever all-in-one subscription that brings together all the types of content that kids ages 3-10 love—books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games. You don't have to spend time guessing what your kids will enjoy. The Kids Edition includes a year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited at no additional cost. Learn more

Best selection of digital content

In addition to Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, Fire tablets give parents instant access to millions of movies, TV shows, books, Android educational apps and games—including Disney Jr. (coming soon), Angry Birds, Minecraft, and more. On Amazon.com or the device, parents can hand-select which titles kids can access in Amazon FreeTime.

"FreeTime is AWESOME. Age appropriate for each kid and the parental controls are priceless. My son has to read books for 30 min each day before it unlocks videos and games." � Valerie

"If you set up separate profiles for each child, Kindle will even recommend books that are likely to appeal to them. We also really appreciate the granular controls in FreeTime; I prefer allocating unlimited time to reading and then less time to apps and video usage." � Brian

"I use Kindle FreeTime & it is PERFECT!!!! I can use the apps that FreeTime has, but also add other apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, etc." � Whitney

Screen time limits

Amazon FreeTime offers innovative parental controls that encourage learning before play and that help manage screen time. With FreeTime, you select all of the content your kids can see, and you can limit your kids' screen time by content type—for example, you may choose to limit videos and games, but make reading time unlimited. FreeTime blocks stores and in-app payments, so you don't have to worry about additional expenses. Plus, a child's profile does not have access to the built-in web browser, email, and social media features. Show me

Set educational goals

Learn First and Bed Time features extend Amazon FreeTime's existing Daily Time Limit controls. Parents can block access to games and cartoons until after educational goals are met, and set when FreeTime may be used.

If they break it, we'll replace it. No questions asked.

We all know accidents happen. The 2-year worry-free guarantee includes coverage for anything that happens to your Fire HD. Just return the tablet and we�ll replace it for free. It also covers Fire HD against electrical and mechanical breakdowns. Learn more

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Many Unacceptable Oversights November 18, 2014
Color Name:Blue|Size Name:7 Inch Display
As a family who owns multiple Fires in different iterations, I was thrilled when the kids’ version was announced. All three of my children received one. From their perspective, they were thrilled and loved it. I gave them far more time than usual to break them in over a 1.5 day period just to make sure everything was fine. Sadly, it wasn’t.

First, let’s call this thing what it really is. This isn’t a Fire designed from the ground up with children in mind. It is a basic Fire 7 HD with an altered OS that is tightly integrated into the Free Time Unlimited app, something that can be added to ANY Fire currently on the market. That’s it. Yes, it comes with a snazzy case and a longer warranty, but it’s still just a slightly altered Fire 7 underneath it all.

The issues began within the first hour of use and echo what most of the negative reviews highlight.

1 – Terrible battery life and slow recharge rate
My three-year-old first generation Fires last far longer and charge faster.

2 – Case Isn’t Impressive
When I first saw the case introduced, I imagined something rubberized with a protective cover over the screen, possibly even water resistant. No. It’s simply a piece of molded foam that you press the Fire into. There is absolutely nothing to protect the screen, reminiscent of the cheap EVA foam cases you pick up on eBay. I would not have felt comfortable simply putting them in a bag without something to cover the front. Plus, they are very easy to remove.

3 – Frequent lock-ups
We were averaging at least one lock-up per hour of use. And keep in mind that I had three of these, so it couldn’t have simply been a bad device. I was hard-resetting them like crazy. And this doesn’t count the times they randomly ran slow.

Update:

Took off one star. Storage is atrocious (less than 5 gb available, and it fills up in no time), and Amazon makes it incredibly hard to delete content stored in a FreeTime profile. The easiest and most efficient way to delete content is to do a factory reset, but be warned, the tablet will be out of storage again in 24 hours. At this point, I do not recommend this tablet at all. Go for a regular Kindle instead and get 16gb of storage.

Original review:

The problem is not the tablet; it's Kindle FreeTime Unlimited. The tablet is sturdy and the case, although bulky, is perfect for kids. The tablet just arrived yesterday so I can not comment on how well it performs over the long term, but this will be our family's 6th (7th? 8th?) Kindle and I expect it to be as durable as the other Kindles we've had.

So on to Kindle FreeTime Unlimited... the idea behind this service is great (it's pretty much a library of age-appropriate apps and books), but the execution of it is terrible.

So what's wrong with it?

1) In a regular Kindle, only the books that I've downloaded appear on my device. With Kindle FreeTime Unlimited, ALL of the books and apps available with Kindle FreeTime appear on the child's Kindle. So what's the problem with this? For one, it's just plain difficult to navigate because there's way too much content on the screen and there's no way to sort it. Two, there are certain books and apps that Amazon might deem as age appropriate but I do not want my child playing with and there is no way to filter them out. So if I want him to read Curious George but skip the SpongeBob books, I'm out of luck.

2) My child is able to read books I've downloaded from our local library using the Overdrive and Blio apps.

Color Name:Blue| Size Name:7 Inch Display|Verified Purchase
I bought this for my five year old son so that he would stop playing on my phone. This device has tons of books, apps and videos. I have spent time looking at the settings and how things works. This device is great! There are a lot of reviews about how it is hard to use and does not have enough books, apps, etc. That is just not true. Take some time to go through and learn how it works. There are settings that limit whether you can download content. It is important to test these features before saying things are not available. Each thing must be downloaded. You will see a pick with an "X", touch it, then be patient while it downloads. Once it does it will show a check mark. You can touch and hold your finger on it to either remove it from the device, this does not remove the icon, just the loaded info...and it can be downloaded again later. The sound and the picture are wonderful . I am so pleased with this purchase and encourage others to calm down, be patient and learn how to use the device. It is not designed to be a ipad...if you want it to work like one...go buy one of those. It is designed to be a kid friendly place to play and learn. It should be judged as such. Good luck and happy playing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Tablet... (revised) November 1, 2014
Color Name:Pink| Size Name:6 Inch Display|Verified Purchase
This tablet is really amazing. It creates joy and happiness for my kid while creating tears and suffering for Daddy.

I was so excited when I heard the news about this tablet. It is the first item I've EVER pre-ordered, from ANYONE. Well, now I remember why I always wait for version 2.0 of any product, sigh.

For now, I've gotten used to the issues, and my kid REALLY loves it, so I'll bump it up to 3 stars and keep it. It also helps that since purchasing this, I've seen 3 people I know have their tablets completely DESTROYED by their kids, which is really making me appreciate the 2 year replacement warranty...

Also, my solution to the space issue is to just go into the settings and manage the storage every night. I go to the applications, select 'all', and then delete. All the programs are in the cloud, so I'm not 'losing' anything by deleting them off the tablet. That way she gets at least a full day of use before it runs out of space again. I'll consider this a fair tradeoff for all the other headaches that I avoid by having this tablet.

So now, it's a 3 star tablet, not 2 star, but Amazon still needs to fix a lot of things with it, 8^)

----- The original review is below and outlines my initial issues ----------

First off, I'm bumping the rating 'up' to 2 stars (instead of 1) because my kid is REALLY happy with this tablet, when she actually gets to use it.

I thought I knew all the issues and could deal with them. For instance, not having a working camera app at release time. Even the crappy battery life was something we could deal with (on a good day, we get 2 hours of use from a charge).

However, this morning I finally ran into the Catch 22 Hell that everyone has complained about.
