If you’re a parent and want to keep your child safe when using your Fire TV device, Amazon offers a helpful range of parental tools to restrict content types and monitor unwanted purchases. To access the safety features for parents, navigate to Settings, Preferences, and then select Parental Controls on your Fire TV device. You’ll then be prompted to enter a PIN to protect content unsuitable for children. You can reset your PIN anytime online.
From the parental control settings, you can set up viewing restrictions for Amazon videos based on their age ratings. This is split up into four categories: General, Family, Teen, and Mature. Another option is to PIN-protect app launches, so you can prevent your child from accessing apps that may contain offensive content.
To limit your child purchasing content on your Fire TV device without you knowing, you can also PIN-protect purchases. Go to the Parental Controls page, enter your PIN, and select PIN Protect Purchases to avoid any unwanted transactions. You can access a further range of parental controls, including daily time limits, by heading to Amazon’s Parent Dashboard.
