However, the Kids Pro has two tabs – one with the Kids UI for easy access to games and apps and another that looks something closer to the regular Fire OS home screen for access to apps like Audible and Amazon Music if you’re a subscriber. Both tablets come with a 1-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, which includes thousands of age-appropriate ad-free apps, games, books, videos, songs and audiobooks and features content from Disney, Nickelodeon, Peppa Pig, National Geographic, Collins Big Cat, Lego and more.īoth tablets also give parents the ability to add specific apps and content to their child’s profile, such as Minecraft or Zoom.

Software is where these two tablets really begin to differ. Software and performanceīoth the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids and the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro are powered by the same six-core MediaTek CPU, which we found offered mediocre performance for demanding games but was perfectly fast enough to run kids’ titles like Sonic Dash 2 and Cut the Rope.īoth tablets also come with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage expandable up to 1TB. We found that both tablets offered decent brightness levels but colours were dull and flat and the tablet was too reflective to use in direct sunlight. Both are 8-inch screens with HD resolutions of 1280 x 800 and 189ppi. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids and the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro have identical displays.
The same applies to the Pro model, but this tablet comes with more accessible contrast-coloured power and volume controls. Our reviewer noted that it’d be a challenge to harm the Fire HD 8 Kids by dropping it on hard floors or down the stairs, but there’s no water or dust-resistance rating so you’ll probably want to keep it out of the bathroom. The Kid-Proof Case is larger and chunkier than the Kid-Friendly Case with 9g more weight to it, but both cases come with an adjustable kickstand so kids can prop the laptop up to watch movies and play games. While both tablets come with colourful cases designed to protect against drops and bumps, the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids ships with the Kid-Proof Case whereas the Kids Pro comes with a Kid-Friendly Case.
The biggest difference in design is the case that comes included with each model. The Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids and the Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Pro have identical designs and dimensions outside of their cases, including the same chunky black bezel and centred camera placement.īoth tablets also come with two 2-megapixel cameras – one on the front for selfies and video calls and another on the back for snapping photos. Read on to find out exactly what this entails, along with all the key differences between the two 8-inch tablets… Design
