Test Amazon Kindle Fire HD 6 Kids Edition Tablet – Notebookcheck

As with all Amazon devices, it is also the Kindle Fire HD 6 Kids Edition possible to create profiles for each child in the household and manage them accordingly. You own a product of the US company, the existing profiles are transferred to the new device. Unfortunately this is not true on the settings of each user. After the first start the installation of various Apps is proposed, any savegames of educational apps or games are not incorporated. The progress in a book but is very well taken.

If a new user created, one can distinguish between an adult and a child’s profile. This Amazon is divided into two age groups again latter. However, except for a minimal varying visual representation we could make no difference.

In the settings you can activate a general child safety, with, among others, in-app purchases or posting on social networks can be locked. In addition, usage times for each of the little ones can be individually set. Thus, it is possible to limit the screen times in general, and to define learning content. This means that each child must have previously made or read educational apps before playing or can watch videos. In itself a great idea, but the devil is in the details. Because learning apps have to be identified as such by the app developers. For example, the app is learning fun Conni math class 1 recognized in the Lite version as such. If you buy the full version, however, this does not work, because the developers have according to Amazon support, forget to put a tick. In practice, it would therefore be if parents could define itself, what apps are regarded as learning content. In addition, the service life can only be set for each device, not for a single child. If, at two Kindles each a useful life of 30 minutes, the young can handle an hour by the equipment every day.

Little is understandable by the way, that for children both audiobooks and music or radio play contents are not usable. Here we would also wish that parents can determine what may hear the little ones. Of Amazon should really have something, because the entity does this even in digital form.
