Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids

Why We Like It

The Fire HD 10 Kids is the easiest recommendation in kids' tech. The 2-year no-questions-asked replacement guarantee alone is worth the price of admission — Amazon will replace a cracked or broken tablet free, once. Add in the included year of Amazon Kids+, class-leading parental controls, and a rugged kid-proof case, and it's genuinely the best value in kids' tablets.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• 2-year worry-free guarantee — Amazon replaces it free if the kid breaks it
• 1-year Amazon Kids+ subscription included ($5/mo value) with thousands of books, apps, and videos
• Best-in-class parental controls via Parent Dashboard — screen time, content filters, educational goals

Cons

• Amazon ecosystem lock-in — no Google Play Store access
• Heavier than iPad mini at 465g — younger kids may find it unwieldy
