Do you feel Amazon is a safe site for your kids to visit? What do you think?

You need to be 18 to have an Amazon account, and use it. Amazon clearly states that, however it is a great site with great prices.

I have the same concern. Companies like Amazon need to start taking the lead and use some of their substantial economic might to mitigate these kinds of issues in a global economy of risk. Jeff Bazos would make an international and national business and political coup by stating plainly that his company would oversee quality and security concerns of this nature. I'm a worried parent and, frankly, I don't believe anyone in the United States has an answer to our mutual question: is this toy deadly or dangerous to the life and future of my child? C'mon Bazos, you are an innovator. Help us and make yourself even MORE successful!Mark DiGiacomTamp, Florida I have the same concern.

I had this same question earlier this week. I decided to go to Walmart and purchase the Nabi 2 for my 8 year old in case it didn't live up to our expectations, we could have a hassle free return. It's been a week and he loves it!!! I have installed amazon kindle, storia and amazon app store on it so that we can have more options for entertainment. I plan to add movies and music to an sd card so that he can have the space to download as many apps as he likes. I chose this tablet simply for the parental controls, making it safer, the durability and the fact that we can keep it on mommy mode when he gets older. I do admit that the spinlets tv and music seem preschool-ish but like I said there are many alternatives such as Amazon since this is a "real" android tablet.

I find that if I buy only "sold from and ships by Amazon.com" I have no issue with fake stuff. Third party vendors and you never know what you're really getting.

I'm happy to answer your question!! Amazon.com compromised my credit card security and allowed someone with a different name and a different address than me to order this product and have it delivered to them. I never ordered, nor did I ever receive this product but my credit card paid for it!! Now Amazon has suspended my account because I had my credit card company reverse the charge!! Please BEWARE of using Amazon.com!!! Make sure your account is secure!! You will have to ask the thief who stole my credit card information from Amazon and received the product any questions you may have regarding the particulars of the unit itself!!

I find that to be average marketing. Nothing against the product (and I am a travel nanny and researching this as a gift for grandchild but also to see if I'd recommend to my parents. One of my researches turned up a recommendation by a parenting group: http://the-parenting-center.com/playmags-magnetic-blocks/. So at this price with free Prime shipping, I will try it out. I think before we assume it is a suspicious product, try it out too?

Amazon needs to provide this info. Relying on past customers is the 'new' way of doing business without really working for it. Sound politically familiar? Go to the mfg and source your answer, amazon is not it.

I appreciate your response. I know there are many ways to game the system and the "real name" tag is certainly one positive step that Amazon has taken. Nevertheless, the "real name" system isn't foolproof, especially since there are consultants out there who have pitched how they can help sweeten any products reviews with their portfolio of credible real-name accounts. That said, I just have to take your word for it, although I am glad you understand how I might be skeptical.As I said before, though, it is a very good product and I'm willing to put my opinions into a positive review to show my good faith.

To respond to the other person's review: As with all electronics, I'm sure you are not going to allow your kids to throw it. There should be no fear of damage if your kids know how to properly use computers. In other words, most kids these days know that these devices are not toys. Use your judgement and you'll be fine.

So long as your child is respectful of electronics I don't see why not. Like anything, abused hard enough and it could break. My only recommendation is that you do not save the password to your Google play account or wifi to the tablet so you have control over what gets downloaded and their Internet access.

My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding? The promotions were offered by Amazon and whats more the promotions even indicated the current market price to indicate how big a discount was on offer!Also, by saying "There are several million items listed on our website, this makes it impossible for us to check the price of every item" are you implying that Amazon does not have internal controls on whats on its website and thereby everything on your website is unreliable? Amazon and its CS team need to get your act together. My response:Dear CS professional,Can you please check your facts before responding?

Yes, especially with the abuse by my 3 kids age's 16,14, and 11. Yes, I purchased 3 all are fine, however, one got stolen.

I don't think anything is 100% safe, but this outlet should keep most of our little guys safe. Some kids are more curious than others so I suggest that you keep an eye on them just in case. Sorry I could not give you more

The prices from the sellers (remember its like buying things from Ebay without the auctioning, so same risks apply) on Amazon are way over actuals, your much better off going to other sellers (BestBuy, Staples, Microsoft), there you'll know what your getting and at a fair price

I'm thinking so was looking at it for a 6 year old rather then innotab or leap pad. I also checked out the getjar markplace and they have several games we can get for them all free as well. Other reveiwers also said that you can put amazon market place on to it.

when one uses amazon you must be prepared to deal with the type of situation you've encountered. Good luck with that. Read my original 4 star eval of this product to see what I mean. I will make nor read further responses. thx

I called and spoke to someone on the phone and they told me it has to be an Amazon purchase, however someone else asked this same question and there was a bit of discussion on the topic. I decided to buy the warranty here on Amazon and just give it a shot. They did accept my registration and my receipt from a product purchased somewhere else. I sent them a copy of my receipt as part of the registration and then called to confirm that everything was good to go.Personally, I'd much rather buy electronics here from Amazon whenever possible. The only reason I didn't buy my computer from Amazon was because they couldn't match the student discount I got elsewhere.
