In the lead up to Christmas, parents are on the lookout for gifts for their children, but with the current cost of living crisis and costs increasing, a good deal with money off could help. Luckily, Amazon now has its Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet.

Now on sale for £59.99, down from £124.99, buyers will save more than 50% off. With over 4000 buys in the last month, this tablet is highly sought after for a number of reasons.

It comes in a pleasant blue and has 32GB of storage, which is ideal for those who want to play games, watch movies and TV shows or any other interactive options the tablet has. It is said to be suitable for children aged three to seven, and it includes one year of Amazon Kids+, meaning users have access to 'thousands of apps, games, books, videos and favourites such as CBeebies, Disney, Nick and more'.

Screen time with children has been a topic discussed amongst many, but thanks to easy-to-use online parental controls on the tablet, parents can set screen time, educational goals, a bedtime and age filters to ensure that all content is age-appropriate.

The Amazon tablet offers an increased battery life up to 10 hours of mixed use, and it's 'up to 30% faster quad-core processor and twice as much RAM' versus previous generations. It also includes a Kid-Proof case with a built-in stand and a two-year guarantee if anything goes wrong.

Currys also has itsACER 10.1" Kids Tablet - 32GB available for £139 for those whose budget is a little higher. This device features an HD-ready screen and is reportedly ideal for apps, photos, and videos, with a battery life of up to 11 hours. An additional option is Argos' lowest price ever on its HONOR Pad X8a 11 Inch Wi-Fi Kids Tablet,which is now priced at £129.99.

This features a multi-touch screen, an LED backlit display and has a fingerprint-resistant coating. The Amazon Fire 7 tablet has been rated a high 4.5 out of five stars from almost 5,000 reviews on Amazon.

One person said: "Bought this for my son's first flight. It was super easy to set up, the battery lasts a long time, and there's a great selection of apps to choose from. I chose a number of educational apps for my nearly three-year-old and he loves it.

"Great quality for a reasonable price." Another said: "Present for my granddaughter. Great quality perfect for car journeys I ordered another for my other granddaughter too. Would recommend."

Another consumer said: "All of the grandkids have one and they keep the peace. They even let you have the TV remote back." Some deducted a star for issues with speed, as one person said: " Bought for my toddler. Good product, lags slightly but does the job for a young child." Another shopper said: "A little slow, but a great tablet for our four-year-old."
