I’m not sure if this is something you can help me with. I’m looking for a suggestion on a tablet for my five-year-old son. I currently have a VERY old iPad that I have some appropriate children’s games on. I cannot afford a new one. I want one that is made for kids and has parental controls on it so that he cannot access things that he shouldn’t. I also want it to be something that he could possibly use for school work. I am considering the Amazon Fire Kids. I know there are two types - one is for ages 3-7, and the other is 6-12. Would it be better to get the one for 6-12? I know it has a different interface, but he is 5. I want it to last a while. I am open to other suggestions as well. Thank you!

Honestly? My kids both have android tablets and google family link. I can control everything from what’s downloaded to when they get locked out. Also can limit time spent on certain apps. The kid ones they outgrow quickly IMO. They are both Samsung and if when you set it up you can set any parental control you want.

Amazon fire tablet and get the older kids one
Get the fire tablet. I have one for my 3yo and hes done everything under the sun to it. The 2 year no questions asked warranty is well worth it! He soaked it & it wouldnt turn on. We sent in our old one & they sent us a new one. This was last week.
- the tablet itself is the same no matter which one you get. If you get the 6-12y one it’s just a thinner case than the 2-6y one.
Amazon fire kids is what I have for all my kids
Amazon kids fire tablets. It comes with a 2 year warranty. I have 2 they are absolutely amazing
I have gone through six Amazon tablets with four kids. The tablet crack easily and you can only download Amazon apps.

Amazon fire is great…my daughter has had them in the past.The parental controls are amazing.Hook it up to your Amazon account…the security is amazing
Amazon fire tablet kids edition. It comes with the 2year warranty, 1 year free subscription to Amazon freetime unlimited, the parental controls are great, you can add content to their tablet on top of the content that’s accessible to them through freetime unlimited and you can filter their content based on their age or set it to your desired age range. They have access to tons of books, apps, games, videos, shows and even some movies through Freetime Unlimited. You can also download apps and videos that your child can watch or use even without internet access. Some games like fruit ninja and tic-tac-toe give them free unlimited credits to buy extras in the game. My children each have one and they love them.

My kids have Amazon fire tablets. I bought a big rubber case off amazing for them. They have lasted awhile
Amazon fire tablet has withstood my 9 year old sister and 10 year old brother for the last 3 years. Highly recommended, just make sure to get a good case (the foam one with a handle is good)
Kids kindle for sure
My kids have fires. We liked them at first. But now we’re having trouble downloading new games to them. I’ve cleaned out games they don’t play any more & put a SD card in. Any ideas?
For the OP any android devise can have parental controls if you want. I put family link on their phones. I suggest watching for clearance phones (around Oct/Nov at Walmart). It doesn’t matter what company. You don’t need service to use it on wifi like a tablet. Put family link on it & block searching.

My two year old son got this for his birthday he absolutely loves it. Has prenatal control and a timer for how long child can be on it. And super cheap!!
Fire tablet can be put in kids mode.
My 3 year old recently got the kurio next android tablet. I got it because of all the parental controls. They usually vary at walmart from like 60-100 depending on the generation I’m guessing. I bet amazon has it cheaper!
I guess I am too old fashioned, as I am not in the majority, but, I was thinking a 5 year old is too young for a tablet.

The only difference is the size, I’ve bought the 7 and the 8, but you can set an age group that only shows apps made for that age. You have to download other items from the App Store through the parent account. Def worth it for the money.

My in laws got my kid a Lenovo tablet when she was 2. I didnt let her have it till 4. I DO NOT SUGGEST IT! It’s cheap, gets torn up easily even though we had a case 4 it, doesn’t keep a charge, and almost impossible 2 use even 4 a kid.
We bought iPad on cyber Monday! I even use it for work we love it
My kids each have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 inch, with Wi-Fi, 32GB memory, which are going for $165 on Amazon right now. It runs like a phone but bigger. I love the Samsung devices because they’re SUPER easy to set time limits and content restrictions per app all from your device with the Family Link app.
You can set bedtimes, limit total tablet time, time spent in each app, control content, in game purchase, etc. It’s phenomenal. You can lock the tablet at any time as needed, from the app on your phone.
My kids had Amazon Fire tablets and they sucked. All the apps would take forever to load, app control and content restrictions were too generalized, and you have to subscribe for the kid’s program for enhanced features and content.
Crayons and paper just like we had

My 8 year old has a Samsung Tab. It’s going strong for 2 years now. Buy a good padded case and it will be fine.

We like the Amazon Fire! You can download movies and games for offline use, too. We usually only let him use it on long car rides or when we’re on work meetings, so we keep the settings pretty tight. No kids YouTube.

I got my kids the kindle fire for kids. Sadly the one broke and we got the onn tablet and that broke in literally 6 hours. The whole thing literally came apart. Nothing my kids even did, the case came off the one side so my husband tried snapping it back in place but as he was doing that the back of the tablet started to pull away from the screen and then the screen cracked, it was the most ridiculous thing. We shoulda stuck to the kindle tablet lol we learned our lesson.
Right now is the last day of prime day too so they should all be on sale
I did not love the fire tablet for mine. We finally ordered a Dragon touch tablet and we love it
What happened to buying young children books and board games to keep them busy? It’s like everyone wants to shove a screen in front of their face as soon as possible.
