The tablet also comes with Amazon’s two-year guarantee that if the tablet breaks within the first two years, the retailer will replace it for free.
With 16GB of storage, the Amazon Fire 7 Kids gets about 10 hours of battery life, which could be a lifesaver this summer during road trips or family vacations.
