did you use specifically the Kids kindle because one review recommended the following ;
"Buy a Kindle HD Fire 6", then the $30 case and a 2-year Square warranty instead. You can setup parental controls on the regular Kindle Fire. For the same price, now I have a fantastic product." First, let’s call this thing what it really is. This isn’t a Fire designed from the ground up with children in mind. It is a basic Fire 7 HD with an altered OS that is tightly integrated into the Free Time Unlimited app, something that can be added to ANY Fire currently on the market. That’s it. Yes, it comes with a snazzy case and a longer warranty, but it’s still just a slightly altered Fire 7 underneath it all.

There's a good selection of fun/educational games and you can control which apps are accessible under the account. It took about 2 hours for her to get the hang of turning it on and accessing the games she likes to play. I don't know the names of the apps off hand but I can get them if interested. She occassionally clicks on ad banners and such, but there's no way for her to actually purchase or download new content. - Sean On Mon, Mar 23, 2015 at 8:33 AM, James Button <[email protected]> wrote: Check out the Kindle ‘account’ process and management of multiple (childrens) associated devices JimB From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Shelby Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 3:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] OT:Tablet for children Amazon actually has a kids edition of their fire HD tablet.

As it is they are only allowed to play games (on our phones or tablet) on weekends, but I want it to be more than a toy/game I want it to be educational as well so I was contemplating a kindle. Ipad's are definitely out of running , so any other thoughts/suggestions are welcomed. thanks
