Amazon might have just made its popular Fire tablet for children that much better.
The tech company has announced an all-new Fire Kids Edition tablet, equipped with a year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, a kid-proof case and a two-year warranty—replacing the item for free without any questions asked just in case your child breaks or damages it. The price? Just under $100 at $99.99.
Already popular, the revamped tablet will also give kids access to more than 20,000 age-appropriate websites and YouTube videos that have been hand-curated by a team of Amazon experts. Its FreeTime Unlimited feature grants access to upward of 10,000 books, educational apps, videos and games—double the selection of what users of the tablet had last year. The parental controls function helps manage kids' screen time.
The Fire Kids Edition boasts a quad-core processor for accelerated performance in addition to front- and rear-facing cameras and up to 128 GB of expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
"Last year, we introduced the first tablet built from the ground up for kids and their parents-and customers loved it," Peter Larsen, vice president of Amazon Devices, said in a press release statement. "With the new Fire Kids Edition we've added more great content and features for parents and kids while lowering the price. For under $100 you get a new Fire tablet, a year of FreeTime Unlimited with over 10,000 books, videos, educational apps, and games, a new web browser with access to more than 20,000 age-appropriate YouTube videos and websites, and a 2-year worry-free guarantee."
The Fire Kids Edition will begin shipping Sept. 30.
