<\/p> $\"Fire$ <\/a>\n

Amazon<\/a> recently introduced five new editions to their e-reader and tablet lines. Yesterday, I was able to learn more about the new products. The one that stood out to me most was the\u00a0 Fire HD Kids Edition<\/a>. My 7 year-old son Sean LOVES the Kindle Fire that Amazon sent us last year. It is his favorite tech device in our home. \u201cCan I play on the Kindle?\u201d is the main thing that I hear from him when it\u2019s his tech time. The question that I wanted the answer to was, \u201cIs it worth paying $50 more than for the Fire HD Kids Edition\u00a0in order to get the kid edition?\u201d<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0I\u2019ll let you see what I learned before telling you what I think regarding the answer:<\/p>\n

<\/p>

<\/center>In sum:<\/strong><\/span>\n
Biggest Pros:<\/strong>
\n-2-year worry-free guarantee (You can just send it back for a free replacement in that time frame.)
\n-Protective case (green, pink and blue)
\n-Amazon FreeTime Unlimited for one year is included (This is an up to $120 value.)<\/p>\n
Biggest Cons:
\n<\/strong>-$50 more for the same technology (6\u2033 for $149 and 7\u2033 for $189)
\n-Certain Fire HD features (i.e. web access) are locked<\/p>\n

Overall, I think that it is worth the extra $50.<\/strong><\/em> The Fire HD Kids Edition<\/a> is a great option in kids\u2019 tablets. The worry-free guarantee isn\u2019t what convinced me. My kids are pretty good with taking care of their electronic items, so they haven\u2019t needed \u00a0electronic product replacements. (Knock on wood. I\u2019m the one who usually drops them!) Rather, it\u2019s the year of included Amazon FreeTime Unlimited. At $120 \u2013 $50, parents will still get a $70 savings PLUS the protective case. \u00a0While I would\u00a0<\/strong>have liked the option of turning web access on or off in the parental controls, that is not a deal breaker. As Sean explained, \u201cI don\u2019t even use the web on my Kindle anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
