It's by no means the fastest tablet on the market today, but it does everything that your children are going to need it to do, and with minimal lag.

The RAM does get a bump to 3GB, which makes switching between apps a little easier. Performance isn't much of a priority when it comes to a tablet for kids, and the processor used is the same Mediatek MT8183 Helio P60T CPU as in the previous model.

You also get a 3.5mm stereo jack for headphones, a 2MP forward-facing camera for video calls, and a 5MP rear-facing camera if your children want to take any photos or videos.

Meanwhile, USB-C is the port used for charging, which we're pleased to see – it means you can probably power up the tablet with one of your existing chargers, though you do get one in the box as well. The casing does come off quite easily, if needed, though it's also a very snug fit when it's on, and it actually feels like part of the device. Of course there are tablets out there with better aesthetics and that use more premium materials, but for something the kids can throw around this does the job very well indeed.

You can pick from Aquamarine, Lavender and Sky Blue (like our review model) for the colour of the case, and Amazon has done a really good job with the textured backing and the pop-up stand (which is perfect for watching videos hands free). The padding makes the volume and power buttons a little more difficult to hit, but it's not a major problem, and there are clever cut outs to direct the speaker sound forward. The casing feels solid and slightly spongy, and means this tablet is pretty much indestructible (if you or one of the children does break it in the first two years, then Amazon will replace it for free). The whole tablet is wrapped in the now familiar colourful padding that all Amazon Kids tablets come with.
