I will check that is all works then the plan is to register it to my account , which has Prime video, and lock it down via parental controls to block all purchases etc.. my account has a big collection of " free app of the day" from back when they did tose offers so it can have a decent selection of free game also.

This thread is to solicit suggestions for other protection - covers, screen protectors etc as there will be no accidental damage cover, and also any fragility warnings ( learn from other folks accidents).

It is from tesco outlet on ebay who do give a 12 month warranty against hardware failure plus a return it if not happy. It is grace C which shoudl mean only cosmetic marks and missing cable + charger - we have lots of chargers already

Please don't ruin this thread with generic Amazon are rubbish, their tablets are all crap , get a xxxx instead... comments. been there, read those in the other fire HD 8 thread. I have ordered and paid for this already so that adds nothing constructive to any discussion.

I just want to discuss making it kid-safe and kid-friendly - both physically and for content. The elder grandchild is a very bright age 4, parents are quite tech savvy, and ideally the parents will want the option to view all of prime video on it with no age restrictions( which could be via a password to be typed in each time. I can trust my own family not to have a wild shopping spree on my account, but i need to lock down against accidental fat finger purchases and grandkids viewing unsuitable stuff.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I499BNA/ref=surl_1037 I suggested that to my son for the Fire I got my granddaughter this year. Yes, I paid for it! Not too expensive if you have Prime. I think it is available on any of the Fires.
Hope that helps!
