Best Kindle deal
Why we like it
While the Kindle Kids is more affordable ($105 vs. $140 on sale), it isn't waterproof. That's the main reason we prefer the Kindle Paperwhite Kids instead. The newest model was released last fall and comes in its thinnest, fastest form yet. Yet it's still heftier than the adult Kindle Paperwhite, so it's able to withstand kid shenanigans. It packs a seven-inch display with a higher contrast ratio, 25 percent faster page turns than its predecessor, and a free six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with age-appropriate books. At 22% off, it's down to its best price on record.
Best Echo deal
Why we like it
The Echo Pop Kids is a fun and affordable way to introduce your kids to Alexa. Our pals at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable's publisher, Ziff Davis) named it "Amazon's top smart speaker for children" and gave it the PCMag Editor's Choice honor. It's packed with age-appropriate content, stories, audiobooks, and music for your little ones and encourages independence, while still keeping parents in charge via parental controls. The only downside is it only comes in Disney-licensed designs. But if you've got a kid who's a Disney princess or Marvel fan, you're in luck. It's usually $49.99, but you can snag it on sale for only $25.99. That's nearly half off, and just $3 shy of its best price ever.

Best Fire tablet deal
Why we like it
The Fire HD 10 Kids is our favorite tablet for kids. It features a large 10.1-inch 1080p full HD display, 3GB of RAM, up to 13 hours of battery life, and is 25 percent faster than its predecessor. Its durable case with a built-in kickstand ensures it can handle kid-friendly adventures, while the included year of Amazon Kids+ ensures your kid will never be bored. Sure, the HD 8 Kids is newer, but the HD 10 Kids still wins for its bigger and better screen, as well as its ability to run more robust apps and games.
