#HEADPHONES FOR KINDLE FIRE HD 8 FULL#
It took the full six hours to charge the battery from 0 percent, which is painfully slow when you’re traveling and you need just enough juice to make it one more hour on this flight. But at under 20 ounces, it’s still small enough for a toddler to hold comfortably in her lap. Unlike the Fire HD 8, it comes in a puffy protective case that increases the tablet’s total dimensions to 9.6 inches wide and 6.1 inches tall. Am I, her parent, willing to pay a little more for convenience and a little more peace and quiet? Does James Brown like to get down? Obviously, yes.Īs with the new Fire HD 8 and last year’s Fire HD 8 Kids, this new kid’s edition is a small tablet, with a plastic body and glass screen. Then I had to wipe yogurt fingerprints off the screen. To write this review, I had to dig out the tester from the closet, where I hide it when she’s at home. And finally, yes, I don’t think this year’s minimal changes add very much to the user’s experience.īut the user in this house is a three-year-old. Yes, you can get the new Fire HD 8 for a little cheaper.
Those same features are also all included with this year’s edition: You get a two-year worry-free replacement guarantee a protective foam case and a year’s subscription to FreeTime Unlimited, Amazon’s kid’s content platform that lets you filter the books, apps, and movies that your kid can access through the parent dashboard.Īnd yes, an older kid might wonder why you get to slide your hands over the cool, smooth, aluminum-and-glass exterior of an iPad, while they’re stuck with the much cheaper plastic Fire. Last year, I noted that with the Fire HD 8 Kids, the price covered many features in addition to the actual hardware.
As with any parenting debate, both answers are fine. The Amazon Fire Kids? Or a kidproofed iPad Mini? Now we all argue over which device to use to distract our kids on painful long plane rides, or the (very) occasional dinner out. In families with kids who are my daughter’s age, the great debates are no longer over breast over bottle, or daycare versus nanny.
