Currently, in the market there are many options available for Kids Tablet like Amazon Kindle Fire for Kids, Apple 9.7" iPad Tablet, Leapfrog Epic Academy Edition Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8" Tablet, Lenovo Tab 4 Tablet, etc. Selecting one from them can be a daunting task.
I have 3 years old. He has a habit of watching videos either on television or sometimes on my phone. And like any other parent, I don't like him spending a long time staring at bright screens. So I try to take him out to avoid him spending time in front of electronics. But even after spending 3-4 hours out, whenever we arrive home he asks for television. He won't eat unless he's watching something. So, I started searching for tablets that will give some educational advantages Because only watching videos won't help, he needs to develop his brain, his cognitive abilities, eyes and hand coordination, etc.
After a lot of thinking about price, brightness, warranty, ease, battery life, brand, colors and lots of other things to consider, I finally decided to go for Amazon Kindle Fire for Kids.

The attached hardcover is so thick that it gives an extra layer of protection. Along with the device, Amazon gives 2-year worry-free guarantee. If anything happens to the tablet, they replace it, no questions asked. I actually replaced it two times, one time Kindle couldn’t connect to the net and the battery was draining very quickly. Amazon replaced it and sent a new one. They have such great customer service, you won't be disappointed.
All-New Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet comes in a kid-proof case with a built-in stand. This also has a handle that gets it easier to carry.

Offline Download: You can access the content with Wi-Fi and if on the go, just download kid's favorite, which they can access later when there is no Wi-Fi. When we go for a long drive, I usually download my kid's favorite show (like Blippi, Daniel Tiger Neighborhood) and books (Blue Truck leads the way, Brown Bear, Pete the Cat, etc.) which he enjoys later during the ride.
Kid-safe Browsing: The web browsing experience keeps out the inappropriate content while still offering tens and thousands of websites and web videos. Parents can add any website they like to add. My son is 3 years old and is very smart. One day he opened a web video of Dinosaur Train on Web Browser, I was surprised and also thankful that there is an option to allow age-appropriate content so he cannot watch any inappropriate stuff.
Best Content for kids: FreeTime unlimited offer 15,000 books, videos, games, movies, and educational apps. These include kids favorite characters from PBS, Disney, Nickelodeon, and many more. Titles are age-appropriate for ages 3-12 years. Amazon Kindle Fire for kids has Smart Filters where you can select the age-appropriate content, so those big kids won't see the baby content and younger kids won't see the scary stuff. So I have selected the age-appropriate Smart-Filter under the setting of Free time for the 3-4 age group. So there is no content in his Kindle that is suitable for very small kids or for big kids.
So now the big question, which one to get?
It depends on what is important to you. All three editions are a bit different in technology. All-New Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet is the basic one, Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet has an HD Display and Fire HD 18 Kids Edition Tablet has a 1080p HD Display. My kid is 3 years old and seriously he doesn't care or know the differences in the display, so I got him the basic model (All-New Fire 7 Kids Edition Tablet), where he can practice on his eye and hand coordination, and let me tell you he's getting smarter on that day-by-day. But if you have big kids then it is better to be current with the technology. That is, get a Fire HD 10 Kids Edition tablet. There is not much difference between Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet and Fire HD 10 Kids Edition Tablet, just the display, and some other specifications are different. Other than that, both are really good Amazon Kindle Fire Tablets in the configuration.
So whatever you choose, your little buddies are gonna love it......
