As a dad of 5 I have been VERY hesitant to allow devices in our home. We have a family iPad but do not allow it to be used in private areas of our home like their rooms. I love the idea they can access "wholsome" content like Spotify, Adventures in Odessy, and audio/ebooks while in the quiet of their rooms while having ZERO access to the wild wild west of the internet. I know it's not perfect still but I feel easier about giving in and trusting with a heavy duty safety net like this. Thank you for answering all the questions I had about this device in your review. Great job dad!
Hi. Thanks for the great review. How about offline mode? Can videos be downloaded to watch offline? And can UA-cam app or some other apps from google play store be installed? Can any other videos be added e.g. from PC?
roughly how large of a file are the books and games that require download I purchased for my nephew for his birthday in June should I grab a 128 gb micro sd or is the 32 gb internal storage enough in your opinion. Also I'm assuming the kids shows are stream able they don't need to be downloaded to the tablet to watch correct?
Does anybody know how to organize content in the downloads folder? For example, after downloading numerous apps/books and going offline, my kid sees all the content listed out randomly. It doesn’t even separate books from apps. There doesnt appear to be any way to sort the content when operating online.
How it manages the Amazon Account? For example, if I'll buy it on amazon with my account. It would be automatically in there and if the kid just watches some stuff or here some audible audios. Is it then in my watchlist and so on. Or is it not combined in that kind of way? Also is it possible the change the timeout-time-interval? I heard it's not possible and the kid has to click on the tablet every 5 min. Is that true or is there an Option?
Are there restrictions? For instance I don't want my kid to download stuff on his own. Or search/browse. So just wondering what the parental controls are like. And it says it's unlimited for a year But then what's the subscription like otherwise?
I have 3 IPads, but I also use the kids kindle 7 inch I bought to entertain my grandchildren. Use it for Audible and other purposes. I plan on buying the kids kindle 10.1 for myself. It often comes on sales for $ 149. Why the kids kindle for me? You set it for adult use. I really like the case. It is very protective, and expensive on its own. Two year warranty, includes accidental damage. Adult Kindle is one year warranty and doesn’t cover accidents. My 3 year old grandson dropped it on the tile floor, and it just bounced. I can switch to the kids mode when they visit. A year of free time included for them. If you have only have had IPads, it is frustrating. Not a substitute for an IPad, but very nice on its own.
you can download movies and shows onto the tablet with a disney+ subscription. you may need to adjust the parental settings to make this happen in the freetime app for your kid though
Hi, thanks for the review. Just the info I was looking for, but I was wondering if you know if games can be downloaded and then played when you are not on wifi?
Hi, my sister is 3 and i want to purchase a tablet for her. Can we download youtube on tablet because she loves watching stacy so I just want to make sure before I buy it.
i think Netflix lets you download using their app, but keep in mind that it requires that the downloads be recertified every 30 days. I am not sure about hulu or disney+
We ordered 3 of the fire HD 10 for the kids on a cyber Monday sale but didn’t get the kids edition. Is it worth it for us to exchange them for the kids edition? What is the difference?
YESSSS!!! OMG!!! 2 year protection plan --kids break it and you get a new one. 2 years of freed kids apps and other cool stuff. Also it comes with the kid proof protector.
Reviews_and_more, big thanks to you for doing all the replies man, my wife and I were on the fence about this but after your review and comments we decided it’s the right one for our daughter. Thank you!
@@Reviewsandmore ok, I thought the tablet didn't come with the regular UA-cam application, he only looks up kids content on UA-cam so it's basically the sams thing, If it didn't have the regular UA-cam application I wouldn't buy it, thanks for confirming.
@@dwaynedaking3585 the tablet is a kindle...with a kids app included. the kids app can have any app that the tablet has already installed...looks like this...parent installs Netflix....Parent goes to kids app setting and approves Netflix for child... You can get to youtube, but not youtube kids as of right now.
Bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter about 5 months ago. This tablet is not user friendly at all. There are way too many apps and navigation is very clumsy. She only watches kids UA-cam and I should have gotten something easier to use.
you log out of kid mode and go into parent mode (part of the setup) then you install the app you want to install. THEN, go into kid mode parent settings and add the app to it.
yes however, they would be limited to the games that are available in amazons game market....so minecraft should work....but pokemon go does not (only in the google play store)

I love this sturdy Fire HD 10 Kids Edition from Amazon! My niece has it and she is already a geek, loves using it and learning a variety of content
Thanks for sharing!
Can you compare the Fire HD 10 to the Fire HD 8 other than it is larger?
Excellent review. Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
Hi. Thanks for the great review. How about offline mode? Can videos be downloaded to watch offline? And can UA-cam app or some other apps from google play store be installed? Can any other videos be added e.g. from PC?
Depends on streaming service...Netflix and Disney plus allow downloads....you can adjust those settings infrom the parent side of the freetime program
Can you use it as a normal tablet for adults as well as for kids?
Yes that’s what I do
roughly how large of a file are the books and games that require download I purchased for my nephew for his birthday in June should I grab a 128 gb micro sd or is the 32 gb internal storage enough in your opinion. Also I'm assuming the kids shows are stream able they don't need to be downloaded to the tablet to watch correct?
Thank you for the review! Can kids surf the internet and, in addition to Prime Video, use UA-cam, Netflix, Disney+, Hulu? Thank you in advance.
We wound up getting an iPad 7 for our 5yo ds. Thank you very much.
Yes but you have to download google play store! These tablets are good for the money! Very fast!
Does anybody know how to organize content in the downloads folder? For example, after downloading numerous apps/books and going offline, my kid sees all the content listed out randomly. It doesn’t even separate books from apps. There doesnt appear to be any way to sort the content when operating online.
Can you download Google play apps like roblox and UA-cam?

Also is it possible the change the timeout-time-interval? I heard it's not possible and the kid has to click on the tablet every 5 min. Is that true or is there an Option?
So after the free year of amazon content is up, what happens? All apps that you had downloaded are they still available? How does it work?
Thanks
I do not know, I just re-upped the subscription b/c he uses it so much
Thanks for the video. How’s the performance for the games? My kid is 8. How’s the games for that age?
Tons and tons. Mine is 7 and he is well entertained
Are there restrictions? For instance I don't want my kid to download stuff on his own. Or search/browse. So just wondering what the parental controls are like. And it says it's unlimited for a year But then what's the subscription like otherwise?
You can control pretty much everything they can do. And they need a pin to make any changes
I have 3 IPads, but I also use the kids kindle 7 inch I bought to entertain my grandchildren. Use it for Audible and other purposes. I plan on buying the kids kindle 10.1 for myself. It often comes on sales for $ 149.
Why the kids kindle for me?
You set it for adult use.
I really like the case. It is very protective, and expensive on its own.
Two year warranty, includes accidental damage. Adult Kindle is one year warranty and doesn’t cover accidents.

I can switch to the kids mode when they visit. A year of free time included for them.
If you have only have had IPads, it is frustrating. Not a substitute for an IPad, but very nice on its own.
Do you have to pay for the content ?
It comes with a included subscription for kids stuff, pbs and similar apps. I think it lasts for a year and then bills monthly for a few bucks a month
Does disney plus only work on wifi or willout wifi like traveling in the car?
you can download movies and shows onto the tablet with a disney+ subscription. you may need to adjust the parental settings to make this happen in the freetime app for your kid though
Can they get on to UA-cam?
Yes if you approve that app. You just have to install it on the parent account and approve it for the kids account
Hey buddy! Looking to buy a new tablet for my daughter, would you still recommend this tablet, or something better?
Yes
Does this one have wireless charging and the option to pause the screen from my cell phone?
Can I add pictures?
Yes
Hi, thanks for the review. Just the info I was looking for, but I was wondering if you know if games can be downloaded and then played when you are not on wifi?
Yes so long as they do not require a connection to play
@@Reviewsandmore Thank you so much!!
I need help I followed the instructions on adding content but when I go back to my daughter's account don't see it
Hi, my sister is 3 and i want to purchase a tablet for her. Can we download youtube on tablet because she loves watching stacy so I just want to make sure before I buy it.
Yes youtube works on this tablet
Is there a way to remove all the freetime apps from screen, so the screen isn’t so cluttered?
@Ashley Latney You may not modify anything because you will break the tablet and Amazon will viod any warranty.
Does it require wifi to watch movies or can they be downloaded and watched without wifi
i think Netflix lets you download using their app, but keep in mind that it requires that the downloads be recertified every 30 days. I am not sure about hulu or disney+
Can you watch UA-cam kids on this?
No as of this time it does not have that app....I assume this is due to Amazon and Google not playing nice

I have a youtube playtlist for my son is it possible to play that playlist on this?
Yes youtube is an app you can put on this you just need to sign into your account and play the playlist.
@@Reviewsandmore Thanks for that.
Can you get Disney Plus on the kids profile? How about youtube or youtube kids??
Disney plus - yes
youtube - yes
youtube kids - no...last I checked
Reviews_and_more, thanks for the reply!
Can you remove the case?
Yes
Is ABC Mouse an available app on the fire HD?
last I checked it is.
Advice getting Disney Plus to show up in free time.
You have to add the app on the parent account...then approve the app in the freetime app as a parent
Reviews_and_more, big thanks to you for doing all the replies man, my wife and I were on the fence about this but after your review and comments we decided it’s the right one for our daughter. Thank you!
Does it have UA-cam? My nephew likes kids UA-cam videos.
UA-cam yes ....UA-cam kids no....so you have to watch what they are looking at....and authorize the kids mode app to use youtube
@@Reviewsandmore ok, I thought the tablet didn't come with the regular UA-cam application, he only looks up kids content on UA-cam so it's basically the sams thing, If it didn't have the regular UA-cam application I wouldn't buy it, thanks for confirming.

I'm thinking of ordering it but how do you set it up?
ua-cam.com/video/NiU-KkJDN9A/v-deo.html. This is my initial unboxing video. Should help
I'm locked out of resetting the pin. Need help
I have not had to deal with this yet. I would advise calling amazon customer service.
Bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter about 5 months ago. This tablet is not user friendly at all. There are way too many apps and navigation is very clumsy. She only watches kids UA-cam and I should have gotten something easier to use.
How did u instal Netflix and other stuff?
you log out of kid mode and go into parent mode (part of the setup) then you install the app you want to install. THEN, go into kid mode parent settings and add the app to it.
Am i forced to add a credit card # im trying to register the tablet and its asking me for card #
No I did not. Mine came preloaded with my Amazon info though
How do i lock the screen while my kid watches something on the tablet and cant accidentally close or stop the video
I do not know that that is a real option. If it is I have never used it.
Guided access
Can the kids download say mine craft or any android games
yes however, they would be limited to the games that are available in amazons game market....so minecraft should work....but pokemon go does not (only in the google play store)
Hi, can it use for zoom class?
based on this www.amazon.com/Zoom-Video-Communications-Inc-Meetings/dp/B00B5L5JRM
I would assume yes. Although I do not have personal experiance.
Reviews_and_more thank you.
Can the kids watch youtube
Yes if you make that app available...however UA-cam kids is not a stand alone app in the Kindle eco system
Can this run roblox?
yes
