The Fire HD 8 Kids tablet has seamlessly integrated into our family, becoming a cherished companion for my 2-year-old. Its user-friendly interface has transformed screen time into an engaging and educational experience. The simplicity of navigation makes it easy for my little one to explore the colorful world of games and cartoons independently.
What sets the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet apart is its carefully curated content for young minds. My toddler's eyes light up with joy as she immerses herself in interactive games that foster learning and creativity. The tablet's ability to strike a balance between entertainment and education aligns perfectly with my parenting values.
Among her favorites is the captivating world of Dora the Explorer, where each episode unfolds like a new adventure. The vibrant visuals and interactive elements keep her entertained while subtly imparting valuable lessons. As a parent, witnessing her enthusiasm for learning through play is truly heartwarming.
Moreover, the tablet's durability is a relief for this parent of an energetic toddler. Designed with the chaotic nature of childhood in mind, it withstands the occasional bumps and spills that come with little hands exploring the digital realm.
In essence, the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet has not just become a gadget; it's a source of joy and learning for my 2-year-old. Its ease of use, coupled with age-appropriate content, has seamlessly integrated technology into our daily routine, creating moments of both fun and education for my little one.
We have two previous generations of Fire HD 8 Kids tablets (2017, 2019), my experience has been they tended to get bogged down performance wise with increasing stability issues after roughly a year, so I was initially hesitant getting the newer model (2020, yeah I know it's already 2022). By now, the 2017 was near unusable, and the 2019 was also painfully slow and often requiring restarts to work properly. When this model went on sale again I decided to give it another try and I'm glad I did.
The good: a) The tablet feels much faster compared to the 2019 out of the box. b) I must applaud Amazon for the ease of setting it up - having it already registered to my account likely made a difference. c) Kids are rough on their devices, and the kids edition case really helps protect the tablet and the oversized dimensions and the texture treatment are great for little hands; as a bonus, the 2020 model now comes with a built-in stand, it's not really adjustable but it can be used in two different orientations adding to its flexibility.
The not so good: a) Its built-in storage is only at 32GB and fills up fast so the micro-SD expansion is great - but it seems they never addressed the one annoying issue I'm seeing with all three generations: after rebooting the tablet many of the downloaded apps / videos require a re-download before they can be used again, I suspect this is for the apps that are installed to the micro-SD card. It seems if I wait long enough they eventually show as downloaded again, but you're SOL if you're offline and cannot wait :(.
Final thoughts: This being a 2020 model Amazon may already be preparing an update but all things considered it's still a relatively performant tablet for the kiddos and a good value (great value when it's on sale).
I received the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet for my four-year-old daughter. This tablet is nothing short of being amazing! Prior to receiving this she was using one of my old phones to play games and watch videos on. I was surprised how eager she was to completely switch to using this tablet. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition arrived in a small box with everything you need to get set up right away. The tablet already comes with a Blue Kid-Proof, durable case already installed (which also has a built-in stand) and USB charging cord. I also like how easy it was to set up; you just follow the straightforward, on-screen prompts or you can use the included manual. I linked my daughter’s tablet onto my own Amazon account because from there, I could control the content on her tablet, set restrictions, manage web browsing and content and add/remove programs as I see fit. This tablet has a 8” HD display, micro SD slot, Quad Core with 2GB of ram, dual band AC WiFi, front and rear cameras and DOLBY atmos sound. The picture is crystal clear and the sound is so much better than the phone she was using. She’s able to watch and download all kinds of games, books and videos according to her age. I love that the tablet already had recommendations on the screen after I configured it to her age. It even had Halloween content which I thought was neat because of it being used in the month of October. The other thing I thought was awesome was how this tablet comes with a year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited which gives my daughter access to over 20,000 books, games, videos, educational content from PBS kids, Audible books, Disney etc. This table also comes with a 2-year worry free guarantee where they will fix or replace the tablet for free should anything happen to it. Thanks to the hardy case on this tablet, my daughter has already dropped it several times and it has been protected. The cameras on this tablet work really well (not crystal clear pictures) but it’s still fun to use. The charge also holds for a long time for hours of entertainment (comes in handy to use during our flights back and forth to Chicago). Overall, I think the Amazon tablets have come a long way. This Amazon Fire HD 8 is excellent for kids of any age and I’m sure it will become your child’s favorite! I would absolutely recommend this product!
