All-new Yakibest Fire HD 8 Kids Pro tablet, 8′ HD display, ages 6-12, 30% faster processor, 13 hours battery life, Kid-Friendly Case, 32 GB, (2022 release), Hello Teal

The first one i bought 5 years ago when my oldest was 1, just went out in november. I bought my 2 and 6 year old this specific one, and there is an option when setting up for “big kids” and “little kids”. The parental controls are out of this world. And you can’t see everything that your child looks out. Down to the videos they watched and exactly how long they spent on the app. This is over all the best kids tablet on the market, don’t waste your money on anything else. Amazon kids is definitely the way to go!

The battery life doesn’t last as long as i believe it should. My granddaughter loves it and learns on it everyday, she’s in kindergarten and there are lots of educational tools and all her favorite movies too. I had to get her a card for more gigs so she can continue to enjoy the fun of learning and reading books. Thank you

Great gift for kids. The parental controls are very helpful and allow you to control so many settings to ensure safety of what your child may see and also prevents them from spending precious dimes in your bank account as you can disable in-app purchasing! You can set a time for the tablet to come on as well as a time for it to shut off which i loved because my girl new exactly when it was bedtime. Great gift choice!

This is my daughter’s 3rd fire tablet. I wish they were indestructible her second fire tablet was the bigger version i decided to purchase the smaller size again since its been released and updated. I don’t regret my purchase! I was a little hesitant because she previously had the bigger version and i wasn’t sure if this one would be just as good, but it’s the perfect size for her little hands and it’s faster!

Got these tablets for my kids on black friday sale. Great value for price. My kids love them. If you are a parent on the fence for getting kids a tablet then turn away now. The charging, and the wi-fi passwords, and the taking tablet away for fresh air, and the tears that result are terrible. However, if you’ve already come this far to look it up just go ahead and buy it. Your kids will love it until you have to take it away.

We had the regular kids fire 8 for a long five years before it stopped turning on, so we upgraded to this one and it is so much faster, sounds better, and the screen is more vivid. A great value for the money back then, and still a great value for the money now.

I got it for my 7 year old for christmas and she loves it. She is able to read books and i can approve anything she wants to download and watch her activity on it as well

So easy to set up! What i love the most about this is that i can keep my granddaughter safe with parental controls!! She loves the games, learning apps, movies, and children’s books that are free for a year with amazon kids. I would recommend this tablet!

Perfect christmas gift. She was so happy to receive a tablet, and i have peace of mind with the child restrictions in place on the amazon fire. Screen display is clear and battery life seems great so far. Easy to use. My 6 year old already downloaded a few of her favorite games.

My daughter love this and i love all the settings and kids mode. So easy to set time limits and stick with it when it shits down and locks. There’s no arguing. My son even wants to play it instead of his switch. Has so many different options for kids.

First, the tablet is easy to setup. This is much improved over the past amazon tablets we have owned. You can even have it pre-linked to your amazon account.

Loading apps at setup is okay. You get a choice of apps to load at setup, but you need to individually download the apps to play, which is lame.

Screen quality is decent. This is no ipad, but the screen has bright, vibrant colors. I do not see a blue light filter, so expect to take a trip to the eye doctor if you give this to kids with no limitations.

Performance is slow if you are used to an ipad, tab s, or a flagship phone. The performance is a little better than past fire tabs, which is not saying much. Expect apps like disney plus to take 5 to 10 seconds to load. Performance is fine for the price

gaming performance is subpar. If your kid is an avid roblox or minecraft gamer, this barely squeaks by as acceptable for lower end maps. Forget trying to play anything demanding. The 2 gb of ram for the ‘pro’ version is not enough for good quality gaming. Look for a used ipad 6 if this is your price point. You will lose a lot in battery life and patental options compared to this.

Sound is fine. The build is decent. The case is decent, but the hinge will break eventually if it is used to carry it regularly. I recommend just using as is and trading it in when it’s warranty is up. Screen protectors are a waste unless your child is awful with electronics.

To me, the flaws are as follows:

gaming performance is subpar
no google playstore
no google classroom app
no youtube kids
no kids prime video option?
Charging is slow
there is a default store setting with cash purchase items that require parental approval.

To me, the biggest positives are as follows:

price
case
parental settings
free kids book choices
able to link to amazon music
can link to alexa for access to smart home
battery life
vibrant screen for videos
ability to wifi call approved amazon enabled devices

overall, a good tablet with some big caveats. Some flaws can be amended when jailbreak and sideloading is figured out.

Changes/upgrades from fire hd 8 kids pro (2021) to fire hd 8 kids pro (2022):

-cpu: now with hexa-core 2.0 ghz cpu, previous version was quad-core 2.0 ghz cpu
-battery life: now claims 13 hours battery life, previous version was 12 hours
-colors: now in cyber sky, rainbow universe, and hello teal; previous version was black, sky blue, doodle, and intergalactic
-weight: now 17.9 ounces, previous version was 19.2 ounces (weight including cases)
-buttons: the power and volume button locations have switched. In the new 2022 version the power button is closest to the corner, where the volume buttons used to be in 2021 version. Also, the usb-c port is a little closer to the headphone jack in the new version. (so, cases from previous version will not fit this year’s version)
-recycled materials: now made with 35% post-consumer recycled plastics

currently the release price of $149.99 is $10 more than last year’s fire hd 8 kids pro (2021 version). For this extra $10 you are getting a faster cpu, and a slight increase in battery life. So far for us, the faster cpu hasn’t been very noticeable, but it might become more noticeable in the future. Still, this is a pretty small upgrade, and if you have the 2021 version there isn’t much reason to upgrade to this one.

*is the kids package worth it?

First of all, let’s clear up some confusion. There were four devices released at the same time this year: fire hd 8, fire hd 8 plus, fire hd 8 kids, and fire hd 8 kids pro. The hd 8 plus has some improvements over the regular hd 8, like wireless charging and increased ram. With the kids versions though, they are both essentially regular fire hd 8’s (not plus), bundled with the kids+ service, 2-year warranty, and a case.

The only difference between the kids and kids pro versions, is that the kids pro is designed for older children; and so it includes slimmer case, a customizable home screen theme, and access to a digital store where kids can purchase content with parent approval. The actual hardware is the same, they are both regular hd 8s.

Currently the fire hd 8 (2022) is $99.99, so you are paying $50 more for the kids bundle (case, warranty, and 1 year of kids+ service). Is this worth it? Well currently a 2 year warranty is $12.99, a stand-up case for the hd 8 is $32.99, and currently kids+ is $48/year for prime members billed annually. So, if you are a prime member and you were going to order all these things individually, it would cost you $193.97. This makes it seem like a good deal. Keep in mind though that you will continue to be billed $4.99 a month for the kids+ service after your free year expires.

Kids+ is something you might have to try out for yourself to determine if it is worth using. Our kids didn’t find it to be particularly great, and they were happy to just play games that didn’t require kids+. Your family might feel differently though. Just remember to cancel kids+ after a year if you don’t find it to be useful.

I mean like it’s a good tablet but the only thing i don’t like is the battery life and the fact that it doesn’t have youtube kids, it only has the actual youtube app, but my niece was so impatient so i showed her how to use the normal youtube, she’s 2 btw and is perfect for her honestly but another thing i dont like is that it has so much stuff in the home screen, like so much for little kids to learn where’s youtube i mean sure it will take time to control it but i feel like they could’ve made it more simple and easy, i’ll update like in 5 months or something

Grandkids like them as much as there old ipads for a lot less $$. Great educational device with lots of great age appropriate games. Limited app’s available. Gkids loved the kid’s educational videos on the ipads but they’re not available on these tablets, to my knowledge.

We have been using amazon fire tablets for our children for a few years, this year, we upgraded. Sleek design, nice case, and awesome battery life. They do take a little longer than other tablets to process but we see a significant improvement compared to older models. Happy kids!

Could be a little more rugged like the ones for younger children, just around the screen. All in all, she loves it! I love that it came with a year of amazon kids!

….my product never came wirh a charger. I bought it for christmas!!!!!

I’m surprised by how many bad reviews there are about this! I’m 23 and i got it for myself lol. Plays games smoothly, comes with hundreds of books, games, music etc for kids and as well as older kids as well! Yeah it may not be the highest quality tablet like an apple but it gets the job done and was worth the price! I’m pleased
