with so much play potential making it impossible to drag them away at times&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Amazon though think they have a solution in the form of the Fire HD Kids Edition – a tablet the firm has created specifically for children&period; Under the hood is the firm’s Fire HD 6 tablet&comma; but everything else about it has been catered for children&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>It goes on-sale in the UK today starting at £119&comma; and includes a two-year worry-free guarantee that means if anything happens to it&comma; it can be traded in for free and replaced&period; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Despite best intentions&comma; kids break things&comma;” says the firm&comma; which has also given the tablet a robust coloured case to help further protect it from harm&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Also coming as part of the Kids Edition is a year of Fire for Kids Unlimited&comma; a special child-themed version of the Amazon Store that’s full of books&comma; videos&comma; apps and games and can be accessed for no additional cost&period; To offset access to all this content&comma;

Parents have the power to control not only the apps kids can gain access to&comma; but also control the amount of time children can use it&period; This can be set to a rigid time each night – with parents able to set a time the device powers off and removing the &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;just 10 more minutes” catchphrase from children’s vocabularies come bedtime&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Alternatively&comma; access can be based on time – for example limiting a younger user to one hour of games a day – or done by a reward scheme&comma; with an hour of reading or educational content able to unlock entertainment features&period; The idea is that parents can set up the device&comma; creating a ring fence they’re happy with&comma; before handing over the tablet to children&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>It’s a big statement from the e-commerce firm&comma; but a timely move given that just last week&comma; new Ofcom research found that more than 70&percnt; of children aged between five and 15 in the UK had access to a tablet by the end of last year&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Given a greater sense of control than is traditionally available on tablets&comma;
