Prime Day, who? Save 54% on a kids tablet and get a freebie too

Attention, parents. This one is for you.

Maybe you were eyeing some of Amazon’s hottest tech deals during Prime Day, but nothing really stopped you in your tracks. Well, that changes today. Now, you can save a whopping 54% on the highly rated Amazon Fire Kids Tablet, and as a bonus, Amazon is throwing in an absolutely adorable zippered backpack for free (oh, and it fits the tablet perfectly).

And, this bundle gets even better. This 16GB tablet includes a year of Amazon Kids+, so your kiddo can access thousands of books, games, videos, and learning tools from trusted brands like PBS Kids. Plus, built-in parental controls let you decide what they can watch, read, or play (so no surprise, Ms. Rachel at 2 a.m.) You can even set educational goals and screen time limits.

There’s just one catch: you need to be a Prime member to snag this exclusive deal. Don’t worry, signing up is quick and easy, plus you’ll unlock perks like free same-day and next-day shipping.

Now, that’s a post-Prime Day deal that is hard to beat!

This bundle is seriously too good (and cute) to pass up. Right now, you can grab the Amazon Fire 7 Kids Tablet and score a free backpack to go with it.

The tablet includes a full year of Amazon Kids+, giving your little ones unlimited access to thousands of ad-free books, games, videos, apps, and Alexa skills from favorites like Disney, Nickelodeon, and PBS Kids. And with a 10-hour battery, it should always be ready when you need it.

Plus, it comes in a sturdy, kid-proof case that fits perfectly in little hands, designed to survive even the toughest toddler tantrums. And if for any reason, it doesn’t, no worries — Amazon’s 2-year worry-free guarantee means they’ll replace it, no questions asked.

Technically, Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ended on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT. But fortunately for professional procrastinators (you know who you are), Amazon extended tons of the best deals of the sale, so Prime members can continue to reap discounts.

Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop?
