Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids tablet is No.1 bestseller as 1,000 bought in a month

Finding a tablet for younger children can be tricky. You want something they can actually enjoy using, but with enough controls to give parents a say in what they can access.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids tablet is designed specifically for children aged three to seven, combining a large 10.1-inch screen with parental controls, child-friendly content and a two-year worry-free guarantee.

It is currently sitting at number one in Amazon’s Kids' Tablets bestseller list, with more than 1,000 bought in the past month. Amazon has also marked it as a limited-time deal, so it is worth checking the current price if you are looking for a tablet for a younger child.

The biggest difference between this and simply handing a child a standard tablet is the kids-focused setup.

The Fire HD 10 Kids comes with access to a selection of books, games, apps and videos aimed at children, meaning there is entertainment ready to go without having to start from scratch.

Parents can also use the built-in parental controls to manage what children can access and help set boundaries around their tablet use.

That makes it a particularly practical option for families who want their child to have their own device without giving them completely free rein over a standard tablet.

Then there is the screen. At 10.1 inches, it is large enough for watching videos, playing games, reading books and using apps, while the HD display is designed to make everything bright and clear.

The tablet comes with 32GB of storage, giving children space for apps, games and downloaded content. There is also the option to expand the storage with a microSD card if you need more room.

One of the details I think parents will appreciate most is the two-year worry-free guarantee. Kids and expensive electronics are not always the safest combination, so having that additional protection is reassuring when buying a tablet specifically for a young child.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids tablet is also built with a protective kids' case, designed to help it cope with the knocks and bumps that can come with everyday use by younger children.

Amazon currently shows 1,628 customer ratings on the product page, while the tablet's number one bestseller position and 1K+ purchases in the past month suggest it is already a popular choice among families.

It is worth remembering that this is aimed at ages three to seven, so older children may outgrow the more child-focused experience sooner. For younger children, though, the combination of a big screen, included entertainment, parental controls and a two-year guarantee makes it a very different proposition from buying a regular tablet and adding restrictions yourself.

Whether it is for watching films on a rainy afternoon, playing age-appropriate games, reading digital books or keeping children entertained while travelling, the Fire HD 10 Kids tablet is worth checking out while Amazon's current deal is available.
