Why I recommend this tablet for kids over the iPad - especially at this price


The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro proved to be a pleasant surprise, offering smooth performance and notable peace of mind due to its worry-free guarantee.

Aside from having a larger 10-inch display, the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro tablet is protected by a slim case that is more kid-friendly than kid-proof, as Amazon's listing describes. When it's time for bed, and my kids are stalling on their tablets, I can quickly access the app on my phone and block them, which oddly results in fewer groans than if I decide to take them away. An iPad has more high-end features, like a better processor and camera, and is a grown-up platform that is perfect for older kids, those who like to do more intricate play, like editing photos, and even those in the Apple ecosystem.
