What is Amazon Kids+?

Amazon Kids+ is an Amazon subscription service for kids that provides age-appropriate books, movies, and Tv shows. These thousands of educational and entertaining content are designed for children between the age of 3 and 12. 

With this service, your children can access content without seeing ads, in-app purchases, external websites, or even social media. It’s ideal for parents who’d want to keep track of what their children interact with. 

Features Available on Kids Plus

When you subscribe to Kids plus, you get the following features;

  • Thousands of books, movies, games, apps, and more
  • Zero social media platforms or mature content
  • Ad free content

How Does Amazon Kids+ Work?

The content on Kids+ is grouped into three categories; for ages 3-6, ages 6-8, and ages 9-12. You control all content through the Amazon Parent Dashboard. Here, you can monitor the content, manage profiles, set time limits and so much more. 

It also has the Kids app you can download on your Android or iOS devices. This service works on all Amazon devices like Kindles, Fire Sticks, Chromebooks, and more. All you need is to connect your device to a wireless network. Content on this service is available for download only on Amazon devices. 

The service has a browser that automatically blocks mature content like social media. You can also restrict browser access from the parental controls if you’re uncomfortable with your kids’ browsing at all.

How Much Does it Cost?

By default, Amazon Kids plus costs  $7.99 for the monthly plan. If you choose to opt for an annual subscription, it costs $79.00. There’s also a one-month free trial you can explore first.  We also love that whenever you purchase an Amazon Kids tablet, you get free access to Kid Plus for a year. 

Unfortunately, Amazon Kids plus isn’t included with Amazon Prime. However, you get a discount for the subscription as a  Prime member. So instead of paying $7.99, you pay $4.99 a month with prime.  And instead of $79.99 for the annual plan, you’d pay $48.00 as a Prime member. 

Should I Subscribe to Amazon Kids Plus?

The Kids plus is a great investment if you need to keep your kids busy with fun and educational content. It cuts across movies, books, and games so it’s more of a 3-in-1 deal.  Since you can control what they engage with on this service, you don’t have to worry about any weird ads or mature content. 

To get the full value, we recommend purchasing an Amazon Fire Kids Tablet so you can enjoy one year free before committing to a subscription plan. It’s also worth the price – especially if you’re already on an Amazon Prime subscription.
