I don't want my child to be pickled in tablets.But I wanted to play with "Fire HD 10 Kids Model"

Corona demand increases, guilt is low.

Amazon has announced the "Fire HD 10 Kids Model" for the new generation tablet.The tablet based on the regular version of the Fire HD 10 has a kids model -only cover, and the price is affordable at 19,980 yen (tax included).Moreover, a set of one year of Amazon Kids+, a subscription service for children with more than thousands of content, and two years of limited warranty.

As a child -rearing myself, I was worried that the child who gave the tablet would be too crazy about the tablet.But when I looked closely at this kids model, I thought it would be okay to play it.

A mysterious guilt that you feel with a "tablet for children"

I feel that there is an unwritten law, such as raising a child, the better it is, the easier it is to choose a path that is not easier for children.

When you witness a kindergarten child who looks at his mother's smartphone on the train or a baby who keeps watching YouTube forever on a tablet, "It's easier to understand, not to tell me without noise."It's true that you may think of something extra.

This is because I feel like giving my child a smartphone or tablet because I have the same comfort.

But I felt that Fire's kids model could be a plus for children to make it easier with this tablet.

A tablet that tells you a sense of distance from digital

"Amazon Kids+", which is used in the kids model of the Fire tablet, is a content service for children.

It's going to be a chance to read a lot of books, and the video and games that seem to be fun are amazing.In addition, the first impression is that the original music application "USEN KIDS", which is newly created by Amazon with USEN, is full of content that makes children happy.

But if you read the service content well, it seems that it is not a tablet that just arranges content for children.I thought that this kids model would be an opportunity to learn the correct distance from digital devices for children who will come to get their smartphones and tablets.

Pair rental control function is fine

Amazon Kids+is a subscription service for children and is also a parental control app.Yes, it is a function that parents limit and manage their children's tablets.

・ Set daily learning goals ・ Apply age filter ・ You can set the restrictions on usage time every weekday and weekends ・ Add content and delete ・ Browser control ・ What is it with parent PCs and smartphones?You can check how much you have browsed. ・ You can set a bedtime with "bed time"

It seems that there are various ways of controlling!It looks really fine and convenient.

In addition, if you set the learning time in advance, you will not be able to enjoy entertainment content unless you clear it.It is almost impossible to set all of this on your own ...

It grows with your child

With Amazon Kids+, if you set the age of your child, the content that suits that age will be updated automatically.

At the same time, it is interesting that the UI turns into an adult -like thing.

The recommended age of the Fire HD 10 kids model is from 3 to 12 years old, but there are certainly remarkable growth of children over this age, and if you give the same content as equally, you will get tired of it.And the opportunity to learn will decrease.Therefore, it seems that the content library suitable for age is provided, and at the same time, the way of showing the content is devised.

It is also attractive that it can be used for a long time, and the feeling of growing tablets with children is new.Moreover, if you have been in a modest way from the beginning, I hope that the children will be able to do the same moderation when they have their own smartphones and tablets in the future.increase.

Relying on technology for raising children is not always bad

In the Corona evil, I myself had a lot of experience with parental control.

In the spring of 2020, when remote work became normal and had to work in the same environment as the children, in the spring of 2020, "How to distribute the attention of children (especially small 4 boys) from adults".Was an issue.If you give a tablet, smartphone, or computer, your child will be hooked immediately, so I was expecting to work in the meantime.

The countermeasures for my home were to create a child's account on a laptop computer shared by my family, and manage it after giving access rights, which was unexpectedly difficult.In Windows, even on the Mac that was newly bought on the way, there were many things that did not work, even though it should have set parental control.Although it should have had a time limit, there was no restriction even if it was over.I couldn't feel safe at all.When I was distracted, the children were looking at the eternal YouTube.

If this was a Fire kids model, the situation would have been a little different.

I don't think parents and children want to interfere with each other all the time.Ideally, you can ensure safety with a moderate sense of distance.But in some cases you can't do that.It may be particularly difficult in the digital world.

In such a case, I thought it would be nice to rely on an existing platform.

It is ant to practice with a parental control tablet such as "Fire HD 10 Kids Model" while communicating with parents and children for the day when children someday get their smartphone. When.

And it comes with a two -year limited security.Even if the juice is spilled, it seems that if you send it back to Amazon only for damage or failure generated in normal use, it will be replaced free of charge.This is nice!(As a parent of elementary school boys!) And cheap!

Amazon's Fire HD 10 kids model will be on sale at 22:00 on April 27 (Tuesday), and will be shipped on Wednesday, May 26.
