Childproofing Your Kindle Fire (video)

Note: I originally posted this on my Brad's Reader blog. I decided to post it here because it's about parenting and cool electronics - my two favorite things. Enjoy!

If you're a parent with a toddler or older, you know that a tablet can be a lifesaver when it comes to keeping your kid occupied. There's nothing easier than sitting your kid on the couch, handing them your Kindle Fire and letting them play with it for several hours while you take a much-deserved nap. That's just good parenting.

However, a tablet like the Kindle Fire is tied to your Amazon account, which is also tied to your credit card. It's important to child-proof your Kindle Fire before handing it over to your kid's grubby little hands. This means preventing him/her from watching your NC-17 movies and keeping your kid away from the dark side of the internet.

Here's a great video from CNET that walks you through how to child-proof your Kindle Fire. Pay attention, because there will be a quiz at the end.
