Quick Take
Overall Score: 6.7/10
Walmart Onn. tablets are designed to hit the lowest possible price point. At $79, the Onn. 8" Kids Tablet is half the price of Fire HD 8 Kids.
The Verdict: You get what you pay for. The Fire HD 8 Kids at $150 (often $100 on sale) delivers dramatically better value with proper parental controls and included content.
Safety Analysis
Google Kids Space provides:
- Curated app recommendations
- Basic parental controls via Family Link
- Screen time limits
Significant limitations:
- No age-based content curation like Amazon Kids+
- Basic web filtering
- Requires manual app management
- No educational goals enforcement
Performance
Budget hardware shows:
- Slow app loading
- Stuttering in games
- 8-inch 1280x800 display (adequate)
- 32GB storage
- 6-7 hour battery
Value Assessment
At $79, this seems like a bargain until you add what is missing:
- Quality parental controls
- Educational content library
- Warranty coverage for drops
- Reliable performance
The Fire HD 8 Kids at $100-120 on sale includes all of this.
