Setting Up a NEW Kindle for Freetime and Making it Kid Friendly

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Join us as we setup a new Kindle 8! We love the Amazon tablets as inexpensive options especially for kids. So, watch this video as we set it up for kid friendly use!
As far as the safety community is concerned, Amazon has the safest, best, most family friendly system for your kids. And if you are looking for a safe option for your kids to use online and with apps and books, I recommend the Kindle over the IPAD or any other tablet hands down. For less than $100, and really, less than $50, you can truly have a family friendly option for your kids to use!!!! We've used them all and this is our favorite.

    Thank you.. after browsing through dozens of video, yours was the only one that showed the actual process. Others only show inside FreeTime already scrolling up and down... Quick question, once you load the FreeTime profile and you restart the tablet, it reloads it automatically with the child's profile or do you have to manually go into it again? Also, is it truly "in-apps purchase" proof? - Thank you.

    Also, when you reload, it loads a screen that actually has a little circle at the top and the child then can see his or her “icon” image and then they can swipe to open. And it’s pretty easy for them to do.
