Hi, my name's Emma, also known as BrummyMummyOf2.
And I am here today to chat to you about the Amazon Fire Kids
Edition.
This is a fantastic little tablet,
and I can't wait to get into the box.
So I am going to pull it out.
Let's have a little look at it.
I'm super impressed with this durable cover.
I think one of the best things to me about this tablet
is not only the fantastic case, but it also
comes with a two-year worry-free guarantee.
Now, I've had a few tablets in our house
that have accidentally broken--
a.k.a. the children have jumped on them, smashed them,
thrown them across the room.
But with this, you can send it back.
You can get a new one free of charge,
and it's really, really good peace of mind for me.
OK, that's enough talking.
Now let's see it in action.
So I've set it up, and now we're ready to show you how it works.
The great thing about this is it's actually
an adult's tablet as well.
So you can use it for yourself, and also, you
can use it for your kids.
I'm going to have a little click here and show you how
you can switch between the two.
If you look in this corner, you will see a little green face.
If I click on Erin's just there, it'll switch to her.
And you'll see her main dashboard.
So if you take a little look at the dashboard,
you'll be able to see there's loads
of different things on it.
There's apps, there's books, and it all
comes with the one-year Fire for kids unlimited subscription.
If we take a little swipe across here,
you will see there's different films and TV she might like.
Another really good feature that I like
is the character and themes.
So if we click on this here--
my little boy is not that strong at reading at the moment,
so it's really helpful for him.
If he wanted to do Thomas--
same with Harry Potter or Dr. Seuss or Kung Fu Panda--
he can find the picture.
Being able to use the pictures is
really good for his confidence.
He doesn't have to come and find me and ask
to type in the words.
He can look for exactly what he wants,
and he feels like he's got a real ownership of the tablet.
As a mom, a lot of us worry about tablets
because we want to make sure that we
know exactly what our kids are watching, that the screen
time is being used effectively.
And Amazon have loads of tools to help us with that.
So if you want to start setting parental controls,
a really good way to go about it is to swipe down,
and you can swap to the adult part of the tablet.
The children can not get into this
because you have to put in your pin.
So now, I'm going to set daily goals and time limits, which
is perfect to make sure that your children aren't
on the tablet all day.
My little girl goes to bed, but she doesn't want
to go to bed straight away.
This way, she could have the tablet for half an hour.
I know she's perfectly safe.
At the moment, we've got it turning off at 8:00,
so it will just turn off.
There's no way she can wheedle her way in and go
read other books or take a look at other apps.
It's off until 8:00 in the morning, which really gives me
some peace of mind.
So she feels like she's in control,
but really, I'm in control.
OK, there are a few ways you can set it.
We've got time by activity type.
Erin can read as many books as she wants.
I don't mind her listening to Audible.
But with regards to watching videos or browsing the web,
she's got an hour for watching videos.
And actually some days, I probably
don't want her to browse the web.
So I pop down there and block it.
So then all they can do is read the books,
or you can download certain things that you
don't mind them looking at.
And that is perfect for just those days where you just
want to chill out and have a little read on a nice Sunday
afternoon.
If you've got an older child, you could actually
have total screen time.
So you might say, OK, they could have two hours.
And then after a couple of hours, it will turn off.
So you can really limit the amount of time
that they're online.
Another great feature is instead of weekdays,
you can change it to weekends.
So for example, if Erin and Ethan are at their Nan
and Grandad's and they need a bit of rest,
Nan and Grandad can leave them on there for a little bit
longer at the weekends for a treat
or if they've been really good, as a reward.
So there's loads of different ways
that you can manage your child's time on the tablet.
So I've got two children of different ages
with very different needs and likes.
If you click on age filters, you can actually filter the content
to your child's age.
She's 8, but she can read books that are 10, 11, 12.
It's a great little tool and something
I know I'll be using for both of my two.
There's already stacks of storage on here.
But if you want that little bit extra-- for example,
I'm going on a long-haul flight, and I will need some extra
storage--
it's really easy to pop in an SD card
and get a little bit more memory.
So I bet you want to know how much this costs.
So this tablet starts off at 129,
but you can also get some smaller varieties
from 99 pound, which is pretty good seeing
as if this thing breaks, you can get yourself another one.
It's a fantastic value, and I can't
wait to get it home and play with the kids with it.
So that's it.
Thanks so much for watching.
I hope that was helpful if you're considering
buying one of these.
