Oh Mah Squee!!

My friends?  I got my very first tablet.  A little baby Fire HD 7 Kids Edition. I know.  I know. Welcome to the 21st century, right?

I am already loving it!  So many cool parenting features plus a TWO year warranty replacement NO MATTER WHAT.



Yes, you heard me.  No matter what!!  TWO YEARS!!

Even if your kid dumps it in the toilet? Yep, replaced free of charge. Yes, I asked the Amazon rep because maybe I've ((ahem)) I mean my kids have dropped a device or two in the toilet!

I have to admit I watched in joy when the Amazon representative at TNT Seattle literally chucked it 20 feet in the air and threw it against the wall!! Pretty much indestructible!!

Yep, as their Amazon website says, "Built for even the toughest kids." You can enjoy peace of mind with an unprecedented 2-year worry-free guarantee—if they break it, return it and they will replace it for free. No questions asked!

Yep....

Perfect for kids and maybe a mom that sometimes drop devices out of her lap getting out of the car in the dark, then feels movement by her ankles, immediately thinks zombie critter, and literally stomps the ever living crap out of her fave smart device...

...not that I would do that! Nope, nope, nopity, nope! Ok, true story! Ahem. So it's like totally mommy-proofed because I admit I am super hard on my devices!

Even better if you are actually going to GIVE it to the kiddos?



All-new Fire HD 6 or Fire HD 7 tablet—with 1 year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, Kid-Proof Case, and a 2-year worry-free guarantee—up to $95 in savings
