Oh, to have easy-going kids who would just swap something like that. I kind of LOL'd at the above who said, "They can just swap kindles". I think a shared child account would be good - if they'll share. Maybe it varies with different kids and people just have to know their own child, but I know my niece, too, who shares an acct with me (she is 15), I also trust her fully not to go ordering things, because again, I'll find out the 12-year-old knows that I'd immediately find out. But to buy stuff on my credit card without asking. Now, let's just say my kids (both of them, the 12-year-old and the 3-year-old) are definitely NOT 'children of the year' when it comes to their discipline level or general behaviour.
I know my son would *NEVER* buy something on the sly. Maybe a gift card or prepaid card would work, but I just put my credit card in.

Um, put the 'fear of God' into them? LOL! My son has his own acct - I HAD to put my credit card in because it wasn't letting him download even free samples without one. This uses your configured “Family” and works along with Kindle Family Sharing.How do you stop children buying stuff for themselves and marking up huge bills? Open the Settings screen and tap “Profiles & Family Library” under Personal to create new profiles and manage existing ones. RELATED: Use Kindle Family Library to Share Purchased eBooks With Family Members You could leave parental controls enabled except when you want to use the tablet yourself, ensuring your kids can’t make purchases, mess with your email, watch age-inappropriate videos, or browse the web - depending on which options you choose. To disable them, pull down the notification shade at the top of the screen, tap the “Parental controls are enabled” option, and then enter your password. While parental controls are enabled, you’ll see a lock icon on the notification bar at the top of the screen. Use the other options on the screen to control access to the web browser, email, contacts, calendars, social sharing, the camera, Amazon’s stores, videos, other types of content, Wi-Fi settings, and location services settings. You can change it from this screen later - assuming you know the current password.

This password is necessary for enabling, disabling, or configuring parental controls. Activate the “Parental Controls” slider and you’ll be prompted to create a parental control password. To activate parental controls, open the “Settings” app - swipe down from the top of the screen and tap “Settings.” Tap the “Parental controls” option under Personal. You can also change a variety of other settings - for example, setting a “bed time” for each child after which they can’t use the tablet, setting limits on how much they can use the tablet for different purposes, or requiring them to use educational content before they can play games. These use Amazon’s Kindle FreeTime feature, and you can choose which apps, eBooks, and other content you want to share. You’d create a different profile for each child who will use the device. You can then hand the tablet to a kid and let them use it as they wish.Ĭhild Profiles: Rather than just activating parental controls, you can get more sophisticated controls by creating up to four “child profiles” or “teen profiles”. You can just activate parental controls, set a parental control password, and access to sensitive content can be restricted.
Effectively, it’s a restriction placed on the current account that can’t be removed unless you know the password. This doesn’t require you to set up any other account. You can choose which of these you want to block. Parental Controls: Enable parental controls and the Fire table will block access to a variety of things - the web browser, email, contacts, calendars, social sharing, the camera, Amazon’s stores, purchases, video playback, different types of content, Wi-Fi settings, and location services.
