The range of options and approaches means that settings can be tailored to the age of your child and how much autonomy you want them to have. The other point to note about setting up Amazon Kids, is that you're basically creating those children as users on your account - and those can then be used on other Amazon devices too, like the Fire tablet. Restarting the Kindle from with in the Kids area sees it returning to Kids: the only way out is to plug in the password. You have to log out of the child's area, select the books from the library you want to add to Amazon Kids and then return to the Kids area to see all those books in a safe environment again.Ĭleverly, you can turn on Amazon Kids on a device and leave it in that state most of the time. That then has to be done on the device itself by the parent. However, it's only then on that device, not in the Kids area for a child.

From a practical point of view, you can send content to a Kindle devices from a browser - so if you're shopping in the Kindle Store when you buy something you can elect to send it to that device. Importantly, unlike only locking down a device with the parental control settings above, you still have to assign that content to Amazon Kids for your child - and this is a key point.
