All-day entertainment – Thanks to up to 13-hour battery

A built-in rechargeable battery supports up to 13 hours of mixed use covering reading, programmes and listening to music.

Long battery life keeps children occupied through travel, an afternoon at home or extended sessions without frequent charging.

Built for rough handling – With Kid-Proof Case and strengthened glass

Every unit comes with a purpose-designed Kid-Proof Case that includes a stand and handle, while the screen uses strengthened aluminosilicate glass for improved drop resistance.

Sturdy protection reduces worry about accidental drops and bumps during everyday play and travel.

Safe, age-appropriate content – Thanks to Amazon Kids+ and parental controls

A one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ delivers ad-free books, games and videos for young children; parental controls allow remote activity review, time limits and content prioritisation via the Amazon Parent Dashboard.
