While excessive screen time isn’t ideal, having a reliable tablet can be a lifesaver for kids, whether for learning or entertainment. The issue is, finding a solid, kid-appropriate tablet under $100 can be tough. But right now, Amazon has slashed the price of its Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet to just $90—a significant drop from its regular $150 price, and the best deal we’ve seen this year.
The Fire HD 8 Kids Pro offers robust parental controls, letting you set time limits, block inappropriate websites, and choose which apps, games, and content your child can access. If they want something outside their preset limits, they can easily request approval from you.
This updated version outperforms its predecessors with improved speed, a brighter display, and an extended battery life of up to 13 hours. The 32GB of internal storage is ample for most uses, but if you need more space, the tablet supports up to 1TB via microSD.
What sets Amazon’s Kids tablets apart is the 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, a service that grants access to thousands of child-friendly, ad-free ebooks, games, apps, and videos. Once the free year ends, you can continue the subscription for just $5.99 a month.
These tablets also come with a sturdy, kid-proof case to protect against drops and accidents—ideal for active kids. On top of that, Amazon offers a 2-year worry-free guarantee, so if the tablet breaks within that period, Amazon will replace it for free.
If you’re looking for a great deal, this $90 offer is hard to beat. And for those wanting a larger screen, the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is also on sale for $140.
