Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids review

The Fire HD 10 Kids is the older 10-inch Fire model for ages 3 to 7, and it stays on this list because of its guarantee. Amazon's listing includes a 2-year worry-free guarantee: if the tablet breaks, Amazon replaces it for free. It ships in a thick kid-proof case and includes 1 year of Amazon Kids+, after which the subscription renews from $7.99 a month. Amazon lists a 10.1-inch 1080p display at 1920 by 1200, an octa-core 2.0 GHz processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage with microSD expansion up to 1TB, plus up to 13 hours of battery life. Parents can set screen-time limits, pause or resume the device and approve app requests such as Netflix and Disney+ from their phone, and the browser is limited to hand-picked sites. It has a long track record, with 4.5 out of 5 from 8,910 Amazon ratings when we checked. Against the new Kids Tablet 11 it has less memory, less storage and no listed Google Play access.

Who it is for
