What Are the Differences Between a Fire Kids Edition and a Normal Fire Tablet?

Amazon, as well as selling the Fire Kids Edition, in its different variants, such as size, also sell the standard Fire (the Kindle part of the name being dropped in later models), in its own variants. So what are the actual differences between tablets aimed at children and those at adults, given that the children’s Fore tablets normally retail at a higher price?

The first difference is the case. The Kids Edition tablets come with an included Kid-Proof Case, which comes in several colours, which is designed to reduce the likelihood of damage if the tablet is dropped, and is stronger at the corners, the most likely point to cause a tablet to break.

Even if it is dropped, the Fire Kids Edition tablets come with Amazon’s two-year worry-free guarantee included, where Amazon say they will repair or replace a tablet for free even if it is broken by accident, no questions asked.

The third major difference is a one year subscription to Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, which gives children access to over 20,000 apps, games, videos, books, Audible books and educational content. At the time of writing, the subscription renews at $2.99 a month afterwards.

One of the biggest differences is that the Kids Edition tablets come with parental controls. This means that a parent can control just what their child can see and do on their tablet, including limiting websites and the amount of time spent using the tablet.
