While too much technology isn’t good for kids, a solid tablet can come in handy for all kinds of things. The problem is, it’s hard to find a good tablet for under $100, especially one suitable for kids.
But right now, you can grab this Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet for just $90 on Amazon — a hefty discount off its normal $150 and the best price we’ve seen for it all year. It’ll likely never be cheaper than this.
With the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro, you can control exactly how much time your kids spend online, which sites they can and can’t visit, and what they can watch/read/play. If they want to do something outside their allowance, they can request approval.
This version, which is the newest model, is faster than all previous versions, has a brighter screen, and a longer-lasting battery (up to 13 hours on a charge). It comes with 32GB of internal storage space, and that’s honestly more than enough for anyone who isn’t downloading a ton of media. But if you ever do run out of space, you can easily expand with a microSD card up to 1TB in capacity.
What’s nice about Amazon’s line of kid-friendly tablets is that they all come with a 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which provides access to thousands of ad-free media, including ebooks, games, videos, and apps. When the year ends, you can keep it going for $5.99 per month.
These kid-friendly tablets also come with a rugged case that protects the device from hits and drops. (You know how kids are!) On top of that, Amazon provides a 2-year worry-free guarantee — if the tablet breaks for any reason within that time, you’ll get a free replacement.
This is a fantastic deal worth jumping on, so grab this Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro for $90 while you can. (If you want a larger screen, the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is also on sale for $140.)
