Kids love tablets for access to apps like YouTube Kids, Fortnite and Roblox – but you also don’t want to give your little one an expensive iPad.
It can get sticky, germ-ridden and even broken if they decide to see how it fares as a paper aeroplane, so cheap, durable tablets are a much better option – and one of our favourites has just gone on sale as part of the big Black Friday sales.

Save £90 on the Amazon Fire 10 HD Kids Pro for Black Friday
Amazon has slashed the price of its Fire HD 10 Kids Pro from £199 to just £109, a fantastic price for a tablet designed for children.
199.99
£109.99
With a kid-friendly design, it’s easy to see why the Amazon Fire 10 Kids Pro is an excellent choice for children – especially with such a hefty discount.
For just £109, you’re getting a kid-proof 10.1-inch tablet with a bright, sharp-enough screen, a rugged case with a built-in kickstand, and a two-year worry-free guarantee if disaster does strike.
It’s plastic and unflashy compared to the latest iPads and Galaxy Tabs, but that’s sort of the point – this is designed to be dropped, dragged around and generally abused by small humans.
Under the hood, performance is very much “good enough” rather than lightning fast, but that’s fine for its target audience. Games, apps, streaming and video calls all run smoothly for the most part, with only heavier titles like Roblox and Minecraft showing a bit of lag.
The dual 5MP cameras are nothing to shout about – photos and videos are grainy and soft – but kids absolutely love snapping the dog, their siblings and half their own face, and the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro lets them do that and learn the basics of photography along the way.
Battery life is another win, easily lasting a full day of mixed use or a long-haul flight, though the slow charging means you’ll want to plug it in well before meltdown o’clock.
Where the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro really earns its keep is on the software and safety side. Fire OS, paired with a year of Amazon Kids+, serves up age-appropriate apps, books, games and videos in a super-simple interface that even pre-readers can navigate – though this Pro model is more focused on those aged 6-12.
The Parent Dashboard lets you set time limits, control what they can access and keep an eye on how much is learning versus just more Minecraft. You can also switch to an adult profile in a couple of taps, so it doubles as a handy family tablet as your child grows.
If you’re after a big-screen kids tablet with brilliant parental controls and a seriously tough case, this Black Friday offer is a bit of a no-brainer.
