Hellobee Boards

My kids use them. You can log in as the parent and control the content of the kids profiles. You can set it up for an age range for suggested content. I like that feature. You can also set it up that they can't watch movies until they have read a book for a certain amount of time.

I can't find the link, but I googled "how to set up your kindle fire kids edition" and found a really helpful video.

I love the time limits. Like @ronjal7 said, you can set maximum time limits for the day depending on content (30 minutes of shows/apps and unlimited books, for example.) You can also set off hard cut off times. IE. it won't work after 8:00pm even if they still have time left. At least with my boys, it means there isn't any complaining. Tablet being "done for the day" is just the way it is.

You also set what apps they have access to individually. For example, they can pull up PBS Kids on their own but if they want Netflix, I have to sign in.

My 3 year old loves his and we also liked the time limits as others have said. He's already learned a lot from it in just a short amount of time and has helped in his speech development. Ours came with a case that is shock proof which is also a plus. It's nice because he's gotten into too much on my phone and opens too many apps at a time while the pad only allows for one app to be used at a time. It is also kid proof so like @caitlanc pointed out if they want to explore certain content you have to log them in.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I believe your problem is you need to log in on the parent account and do everything you want to do (download, etc.). Then you "share content" in the child's settings (while still logged into the parent account). Then switch profiles to go to the child's account and the content should be there.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Oo, let me know how you like it! I recently asked if the memory is good on the Fire b/c that's where I'm running into problems with the iPad.
