Amazon’s Fire HD 10 Kids Edition Tablet is identical to the Fire HD 10 for adults, but with a few helpful tweaks that make it more kid-friendly. As with all Fire Kids Edition Tablets, you get a durable rubber bumper case to protect the device, a 2-year worry-free guarantee, and a special user interface geared towards kids. Parents can also make use of enhanced parental controls through the use of Amazon’s Parent Dashboard, which allows you to limit screen time, add/remove apps, and filter for age-appropriate content.

Fire HD 10 Kids Edition Tablet design

The Fire HD 10 Kids Edition has a simple and functional design. The rubber bumper case does a great job of protecting the tablet from bumps or drops. The case also includes a handy kick-stand that lets you set the tablet upright for hands-free use.

It also has a 10.1” high-definition touchscreen, with 1920 x 1200 resolution at 224 PPI, and 1080p full HD video playback. The front-facing speakers make content easy to hear when in use. In addition, the 2MP front-facing camera is perfect for selfies, videos, and video conferencing. There’s also a 2MP HD camera on the rear of the device for better-quality photos.

Setup

Setting up the Fire HD Kids Edition Tablet is simple. The first step is to create a child profile in your Amazon Household settings. You’ll find this option in your Amazon account settings, under Amazon Household.

Once you’ve set up your child’s profile, it will appear on the Fire tablet as a user you can switch to by tapping the icons on the lock screen.

Fire HD 10 Kids Edition Tablet warranty

Amazon offers a 2-year worry-free guarantee for all Fire Kids Edition Tablets. This means Amazon will send you an identical replacement if anything happens to your Fire Kids Edition Tablet including electrical and mechanical breakdowns. For more details on what you are and aren’t covered for, read Amazon’s terms.

1 year of Amazon Kids+ for free

Your subscription automatically renews after 1 year on a monthly basis starting at just $2.99 per month. You can cancel at any time before or after your free year expires.
