It's the same spec as the Amazon Fire above, it comes with 16GB storage and no 'special offers', so the tablet itself worth $59.99 and about $5 for the cover. However, there's a special model specifically for kids and this is an Amazon Fire tablet that comes in a foam bumper cover. If you want more storage, that's £10/$20 more too - so you're probably better off with a microSD card.

Special offers means lock screen advertising and if you really want to protect your kids, opt for no special offers, at £10/$15 more. The Amazon Fire comes in 16GB or 32GB storage options, and with or without 'special offers'. It's a plastic build, but if you're buying it for a child, you'll want a case to provide all-round protection. The regular Amazon Fire 7 tablet is a 7-inch tablet, powered by a quad-core processor and offering Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a microSD card slot for memory expansion. This is an advantage over a regular Android tablet, which doesn't (although Google Family Link has some uses), and it's substantially cheaper than an Apple iPad, although if you've bought a lot of iTunes content or have iOS-specific apps in mind, that might be a barrier to your choices. Amazon sells different versions of its Fire tablet and we'd heartily recommend the basic Fire 7 model, as it's ideal for younger children.Īll the Amazon Fire models run on the same user interface and offer the same software features, including all the controls you need to make it safe for your kids. Once you've accepted that children don't need the latest and most powerful tech, there are few choices to be made. SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Which Fire tablet should I buy?
