Kindle Fire - Carousel
The Amazon Kindle Fire tablet offers tons of entertainment for children, including games, TV shows, books, and more.

Unfortunately, it also offers unrestricted access to every corner of the Internet -- even the filthy ones. Plus, let's not forget that your credit card account is attached to the Kindle Fire via Amazon--which could make for quite the buying spree for little junior.

In this How To (with accompanying video) we'll show you how to lock out the Kindle Fire's Wi-Fi connection with a password, and hopefully preserve your kid's innocence (and your credit score) for a while longer.
