This is fantastic 😍
My twin Granddaughters had one to share already and loved it. So easy to use and great parental controls. So I purchased another one as well. Amazon kids on it is great and the tablet quality is really good. Battery life is great and the screen size.

Perfect for our family
Our 4 year old loves the fact that he has his own tablet, he feels like hes older as he sees his dad and I have our own devices.We prefer the firetablet over an iPad as we can control and monitor what's downloaded onto the tablet, we can also control and monitor how much time he spends on it.I've set it up (through the Amazon Kids+ parents app) to be in a learn first mode and I've chosen 15 mins of learning games and 15 mins of learning videos before all the other games and Netflix and Disney+ app appear on the tablet. This is perfect for us as he gets to chose what learning games he wants to play out of the ones we have downloaded on there for him and the learning videos available. Admittedly the learning videos arent all actually educational eg Ben and Holly has some educational aspects to the show but not much.The games that I have found are fantastic and I'm so grateful for them. Our son loves math and has been learning to add on the numberblocks game app, hes not very confident with his writing skills so we bought him a stylus and hes been using the alphablocks game app to practice his writing skills by tracing the letters and lines etc with his stylus. This has helped him work on his tripod grip and his gross motor and fine motor skills.A lot of reviews have already mentioned this but there isn't an official YouTube kids app available on the child profile which initially I found annoying but now I couldn't care less about because my son hasn't been looking for YouTube and I've found some of the videos he watched on YouTube are already in the video section eg Geckos Garage, Blippi, Ryan's Toys etcI've also set up a schedule so the tablet only turns on, on the kids profile, during set hours. Outside of my selected hours it displays "done for the day" message.

easy to use and works perfectly for travelling
100% recommend. we used this for travelling and it's been the best thing. We're not fans of too much screen time, but for what we used it for it's been great. It has all the apps and great picture. In addition to that, it's easy for my toddler to handle.

perfect for kids
its a great tablet for kids. while i doubt theres any difference with the more fire table. this comes with a good case incase kids drop it which no doubt they will, giving it extra durability. its functionality and speed are perfect for kids who are just starting out with tech. making it a great value for money.

Good but has a few issues
Good, my toddler loves it and it helps a ton at appointments and when travelling, when toys and colouring have become boring. I will say though, the interface can sometimes go round in circles or apps don't work properly. I'm not averse to technology, I've used a lot of different tech over the years, android phones & tablets, my precious, ancient ipad that I use procreate on, and my pc that I mod my games on but never have I used something so frustrating as this kindle tablet. It is quite resilient though as it's been dropped a few times - in its case. I'd still recommend it. My older child has the same model from many years back which is slow but still working, though still a bit glitchy.

Don't bother
This thing is awful for kids. Its slow, not very responsive and very frustrating for me and my little one.Apps will load once and then not again unless you restart. Customer support repeatedly advise to factory reset which solves nothing and just means I need to install everything all over again.
