The lowdown: This subscription service harnesses the crazy amounts of content available on Amazon for kids, including TV, movies, books, games, and apps, and puts it into one kid-friendly service. There are no ads, and no in-app purchases, so you don’t have to worry about kids randomly buying things on your dime. The service also allows parents to set time limits, block access to certain kinds of content at certain times, and prevent kids from accessing social media or the internet while in use. All content is especially curated for kids ages 3-10.
Cons: Only available on Amazon products (Kindle Fire, Amazon Fire TV, etc), so if you use any other kind of device, you’re out of luck. Plus, if you have a Prime account, you still have to pay extra for FreeTime Unlimited (it’s not included in the steep membership fee, although Prime members apparently get a discount).
