The HD 6 isn't going to appeal to any kid who cares about their device being cool or who wants specific apps their friends have. The Amazon Fire HD 6 Kids Edition combines a decent super-cheap tablet with some good-value extras. The two-year warranty, well, let's throw in $100 because your kid will probably eventually break the tablet. Let's tally it up: FreeTime Unlimited costs $5 per month on its own or $3 per month if you're a Prime subscriber. While kids' profiles don't come with access to the camera app, you can download a third-party app like Funtastic Camera and add it to a kid's profile. I took a look at some of the Amazon user reviews for this tablet, and I wanted to solve a common problem. I know kids on their fourth or fifth devices because they're careless. I wish other, more expensive, equally fragile tablets came with this sort of coverage, but I'll take it where I can get it. If anything happens to the tablet, Amazon will replace it for free. The screen size is just right to read the text (as long as you aren't looking at two-page spreads, which are a problem).įinally, and most importantly, there's a two-year, no-questions-asked guarantee.

While Amazon's app store doesn't have Marvel Unlimited, you can move the app over from another Android phone (which I did) and it works fine. Kids love comics, and I'm happy to say that the HD 6 is a good device for digital comics. It's all of a category (books, videos, games) or nothing. You also can't exclude some FreeTime Unlimited content using the parental controls. So you'll need Wi-Fi to enjoy video on this tablet.

Some other pitfalls: FreeTime Unlimited videos are streaming-only, although apps and books can be downloaded for offline use. Tapping on text magnifies it, but I wish there was a portrait mode for those books. Reading children's books posed another problem: Many little kids' books on Amazon are scanned as two-page horizontal spreads, and sometimes the type was too small to read on the 6-inch screen. When I watched episodes of Nickelodeon's Avatar, for instance, streaming was smooth over Wi-Fi, but I found the video quality to be surprisingly jaggy and compressed. There's a ton of stuff in FreeTime Unlimited, but quality varies. You can also load Netflix onto this tablet for the best of both worlds. Amazon has a deal with Nickelodeon, so if you wonder where the Nick stuff went from Netflix, it's here.

FreeTime Unlimited is a mishmash of high-profile, branded videos, games, and books featuring a lot of the characters kids under about age 10 tend to love from TV and movies. All Fire devices have Amazon's FreeTime parental controls, which let you easily set time limits and app restrictions. You also get a year of the Amazon FreeTime Unlimited subscription service. Several of those drops would have shattered an unprotected tablet. The tablet emerged completely undamaged, and if it landed on its side or corner, it bounced. I dropped the Kids' Edition from chest height onto my office floor, on its back, on its face, and on several different corners, a total of 10 times. The case isn't waterproof or water-resistant, but it's very durable. So what makes this edition different? For one thing, it comes in a big, green, rubbery, removable case. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. ( See how we test everything we review (Opens in a new window).) For more specifics about the physical design and performance of the tablet itself, read the Amazon Fire HD 6 ($99.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) review. Things don't happen instantaneously on this tablet. But I'm not thrilled by the mere 4.4GB of non-expandable storage and the laggy interface. The screen is sharp and the hardware is high quality for a $99 tablet. We were sent the HD 6 Kids Edition, and when we benchmarked it, we found that it's exactly the same as the 8GB HD 6 model. The Kids' Edition tablets are based on the Amazon Fire HD 6 and HD 7 ($99.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window). The Amazon Fire HD 6 Kids' Edition ($149 8GB) adds several accessories, content, and a no-questions-asked warranty that make it well worth the extra $50 over the standard Amazon Fire HD 6, if you intend to hand your tablet over to under-10s.
