We feel the Amazon Fire HD 7 Kids tablet is one of the best tablets for kids . It's compact and durable, and with this deal at Amazon it's just about as affordable as it's ever been. Amazon has the Fire HD 7 Kids marked down to $60, and it regularly goes for $100. That makes for $40 in savings, and Amazon will knock an additional 20% off if you have a similar device to trade-in. This pricing is for the 16GB model, and there are three different color options to choose from.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet

Parents in search of a tablet that can handle the bumps and bruises of being handled by a child can find a lot of peace of mind with the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet. It's designed to be incredibly easy to handle for small hands, and it has plenty of durability. It comes with a sturdy, kid-proof case that protects against drops and bumps, as well as a two-year worry-free guarantee. With that guarantee, Amazon will replace the tablet should it break.

Parental controls are also important when it comes to handing a device over to a child. A Parent Dashboard is available with the Fire 7 Kids tablet, and it allows parents to filter content based on their kids' ages. It also allows you to set educational goals and time limits. Parents can manage up to four child profiles and even adjust content settings as their kids grow.

This is also a great tablet to consider for commutes and travel. The Fire 7 Kids tablet gets up to 10 hours of battery life per charge, so it will last through long road trips as well as through summer days with nothing to do. The 7-inch display is designed specifically for small hands, and the color options available are much more fun than what you'll find in more professionally-minded tablets.

The Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet regularly goes for $100, but while this deal lasts you can pick it up for just $60. That's one of the best prices the tablet has ever seen, and it's good for $40 in savings.
