For younger kids there’s Ryan’s World, CBeebies and Peppa Pig in the mix. Parents also have the option to add more apps such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix and Disney+.Īmazon Kids+ curates its content based on age. Amazon Kids+ includes content from Disney, CBeebies and loads more. ContentĪs with all Amazon’s Fire kids range, the Fire HD 10 kids comes with a year’s subscription to Amazon Kids+ (after that you have to pay, but fees start at £1.99 a month). Once the profile knows your child’s age, it’ll also only display content appropriate for them unless you grant access to other things. If you don’t, it’s easy to add them – you input a few details and they’ll be given their own profile. If you already have kids linked to your account, they’ll appear too. You need an Amazon account, and once you type in your Amazon details your account will appear. Getting the Fire HD 10 kids out of the starting blocks is a breeze. It also doubles as a carry handle, which we thought was smart. The cover has a built-in stand, which is great for propping up the screen at two different angles. The Amazon Fire HD 10 kids comes with a bumper cover, which you can get in three cheery shades: sky blue, lavender or aquamarine.

The Fire HD 10 kids also has two cameras – a sharper 5MP rear-facing camera and a so-so 2MP front-facing camera. However, this is probably a kid problem rather than an Amazon problem, if we’re honest. The battery life is fair – Amazon claims it’s up to 12 hours, but we’d estimate it’s not quite this long after some heavy use, and this became a bit of a bone of contention in our house, as when do kids ever remember to put their devices on charge? We’ll tell you now: never – so it was often drained when the testers came to use it. It includes 32 GB of storage, which you can expand to 1TB using a micro SD card, but we found 32 GB was more than enough for our three kids. The hardware inside is decent, making it nice and speedy (no more whining “Muuuum, it’s taking soooo long to load” – and as a parent, we’re always glad of anything that reduces moaning).
Fire hd 10 review full#
The display is full HD, and has brilliant colours – the content really pops, and looks nice and sharp too.

It’s got a generous 10-inch screen, which totally absorbed our testers, and it feels a bit more like a grown-up tablet at this size too.
Fire hd 10 review upgrade#
The tablet itself feels like a big upgrade from the Fire 7 and Fire 8.
