The 2017 Amazon Fire 7 Kids Edition tablet has received positive reviews for its durability, two year guarantee, its size that is well suited to kids, its one year free FreeTime Unlimited subscription, decent battery life, and its excellent price. However, some users were rather unimpressed with its software, finding that it has no touch control and that the internal storage is slightly low. One user also found that downloaded videos do not auto play unless connected to Wi-Fi. For the price, the Amazon Fire 7 Kids edition tablet is well priced and well suited to kids, and the 2 year guarantee is really great if you are worried about breakages.
