Parents 'absolutely love' Amazon HD Kids Tablet that's 60% off in Prime Day deal
"The screen brightness and clarity is very good, and there are no complaints there... The case is sturdy and has taken the odd battering from my youngest child"
Kids today are growing up in a digital world, making reliable and safe devices essential for both learning and entertainment. Amazon's Prime Day has brought a massive 60 per cent discount to one of its most popular child-friendly devices.
The newest generation Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet is now available for just £59.99, down from £149.99, offering families a big saving on a tablet designed specifically for children aged 3 to 7.
The latest model features an 8" HD screen, 3GB of memory, and 32GB of storage, expandable up to 1TB. With an all-day 13-hour battery life, it's ideal for long trips, holidays, or day-to-day use at home.
It also includes one year of Amazon Kids+, providing access to a wide range of ad-free books, games, videos and educational content, including STEM-based apps and multilingual books. After the first year, the subscription renews from £4.99/month but can be cancelled at any time.
The tablet is built for durability, with a strengthened aluminosilicate glass screen and a Kid-Proof Case with stand/handle. Should it break, Amazon's 2-year worry-free guarantee means it will be replaced for free.

But if it's the Fire HD 8 Kids tablet that's of interest, it continues to be praised for its child-focused features and ease of use.

One pleased parent commented: 'For the price, I wasn't expecting as much as the more expensive Apple iPads we have, but equally I didn't want my son messing about with those.
"The screen brightness and clarity is very good, and there are no complaints there... The case is sturdy and has taken the odd battering from my youngest child... I will consider buying one for my youngest child when they are a bit older.'
Another wrote: 'The tablet battery life is really good and the case is super strong... We got this for trips on planes and holidays and it fits really nicely in a bag even though the case is really chunky and protective.."
They did warn, however: "Some of the games do require Wi-Fi... so we just added a couple of videos on there.'
Tech deal of the week
It's that time of year where we are looking for ways to keep cool amidst the balmy, summer days.
One item shoppers are raving over is this DDKJ Neck Fan that can be used to keep cool when commuting, at work or in the home. Even better, it costs just £26.98 on Amazon.
With certain parts of the UK set to reach sweltering 35C, it's handy that this neck fan comes with a rose gold cooling plate around the neck curve that is said to "feel like an ice cube", dropping temperatures to just 15C in as little as one second.
Boasting an ergonomic, wearable design, it features two bladeless fans that are safe to wear, with five different speed settings that provide a cooling effect on the head, neck and sides.
It's also quite smart thanks to a LED digital display that makes the operation easy and convenient, while the built-in 5500mAh large capacity rechargeable battery features a fast charging chip that ensures a full charge within just 2.5-3hrs.
Numerous shoppers who have bagged the neck fan say it is a "godsend" and a "lifesaver" for the heatwave, with one writing: "This is easy to wear when sitting or walking generally. Works fast and never needed it on anything but the lowest setting! At my time of life it is a lifesaver, especially through the heatwave we experienced."
Keep cool amidst the rising temperatures with the DDKJ Neck Fan with Cooling Plate on Amazon for £26.98
And another reviewer was disappointed with the battery, saying: 'We ordered for the kids and it comes with 12-month subscription to kids package... my only negative is the battery life is not as long as expected and it does run a little slow after a while.'
But a different five-star reviewer wrote: 'Got this as a birthday present for my son... Absolutely loving it, as well as the ease of having my phone to myself. I think this was an absolute good buy.'
Despite a few drawbacks, the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet remains one of the most comprehensive child-friendly devices currently on the market, especially when factoring in the built-in subscription, protective design, and generous warranty.
