Kids can make voice and video calls from their tablets using Alexa voice or any Echo device. These calls can be made only to approved contacts by the parents.

The home screen of the latest Kids 7 Pro looks more like the conventional fire tablet. It also features a “For You” tab that shows a personalized screen with recommended and added content.

Amazon Kids Pro vs Amazon Fire Kids Tablets

The Fire Kids Pro lineup by Amazon aims at preteens between six to twelve years of age, while the previous-gen Kids tablets were more appropriate for children between three to seven years of age.
