Fire Tablets for kids
If you’re looking to gift a young one a Fire Tablet, you have two options: the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet, $54.99 (was $109.99), and the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet $74.99 (was $149.99). Both are currently 50% off their original price and were released in 2022. The main differences between them is their memory storage, battery life, processing speed, and how sturdy the case is. The Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet is aimed at kids ages 3 to 7 with a sturdier case but lacking in all the other specs. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro is aimed at kids 6 to 12 and will be better in every other way, except that it might not survive the same falls and hits with a slimmer case. Your child will be able to enjoy the same games, videos, books, and music with parental controls on either tablet.
Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet
The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, $69.99 (originally $119.99) is available for $10 more than the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, with the main difference being the extra GB of RAM it has and the wireless charging option. This will make the tablet run smoother and charging much more convenient, so the extra $10 is likely well worth it. If you want to take full advantage of the wireless charging capabilities, get the bundle for $96.97 (was $169.98), which comes with a wireless charging dock that usually goes for $49.99.
Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus tablet
Similar to the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus tablet, $94.99 (was $179.99), is $25 more than the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet for an extra GB of RAM that will make your tablet run much smoother. Depending on your budget and how many tabs you want to keep open, the $25 difference makes the jump to the Plus model worth it. You’ll get a better camera, display, and resolution than the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus. If you’re interested in the wireless charging dock, you can get the bundle for $116.99 (normally $229.98), which is 49% off the original price.
