Traveling with kids? This early Black Friday tablet deal will save your sanity (and $85)

So, you did the thing. You booked flights to visit the family for the holidays.

And now, despite a government shutdown, turbulent flight cancellations and the annual dread of being trapped in an airport for hours, you’re still somehow committed to getting the entire family into the sky. Now, you have to decide how to prepare.

Of course, there are buckets of snacks, learning toys, and plenty of great books you could weigh your luggage down with (our parenting hacks guide might give you some more ideas). But, desperate measures call for more dependable solutions, and if there is any moment to consider a Kids’ Tablet from Amazon, it might be now. Not to mention, it’s conveniently 45% off ahead of Black Friday.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Tablet Pro comes pre-loaded with a year of Amazon Kids+, giving your kid access to a massive library of shows, games and educational content. Whether they’re learning from National Geographic or rewatching Harry Potter movies for the 10th time, at least they’re not asking, “Are we there yet?” Plus, with 10 hours of battery life, you should be covered if there is a delay.

If keeping your sanity intact is on your holiday wishlist, this might be your best chance to save it — and save on it early. After all, your travel plans might not be able to wait for Black Friday deals, which kick off Nov. 28, the day after Thanksgiving.

The tablet comes with a kid-proof case (hello, tantrums), plus a stand, power adapter and charging cable to keep you covered at all times. Plus, its slim design and 10-inch screen should slide right into your carry-on.
