Amazon's children's tablets are worth $ 100: "WIRED" US version Review

Alexa, a four -year -old daughter, found a box on her desk.She got Amazon's "Fire 7 Kids Edition" for a product review and was trying to get it out of the box.

As the shouting, "Pink iPad? My pink iPad?", I was forced to judge my mother as my mother.Hiding this, she explains that "everyone can not always get what they like" and should we deal with the "explosion" that occurs later?Or do you expect that if you choose the easiest way and have dinner, you'll be distracted by it?

I didn't need to think which one to choose.I opened the box, turned on the power, logged in, sitting Alexa on a chair, and said, "Watch" Peppa Pig "."It took only 3 minutes to work on this series of work.With this, I got a peaceful and calm 17 minute to prepare dinner on the table.

"Required conditions" different from adults

Most parents will admit that the quick and effective way to soak in the purely instinctive and impulsive children is to show something on the display.Even if you personally have any opinions on the "time when a child is watching the screen", it should not change.

The requirements for tablets for children are different from adults.What is required for children is the intensity that can withstand "bombs", what is easy to control (for parents), and the children -friendly content are displayed within 6 seconds.Fire 7 Kids Edition meets these conditions, and it is achieved at a reasonable price of $ 100 (about 11,300 yen, not released in Japan).

Such a voice seems to be heard."Where can I say that $ 100 is affordable as a child's toy price? And the regular Fire 7 is $ 50."

Let's explain why.First, it has a "child -friendly case".This is worth about $ 10.Kids Edition also comes with free use of "Amazon Freetime Unlimited" for one year.FREETIME is a standard home screen of Kids Edition and has some children's content.

Open the FREETIME app with parent's profile or online to monitor your child's usage.But FREETIME UNLIMITED has $ 5 per month (a parent is a prime member of $ 3), unlimited use of content for the age of 3 to 12 years old, such as books, videos, games, and websites supervised for children.。
