An Amazon Household can include up to two adults.
Amazon Household is a convenient feature that allows families to share the benefits of Amazon Prime and digital content across multiple devices and accounts. It simplifies managing household purchases and entertainment, making it easier for family members to access shared resources.
Understanding Amazon Household Composition
While an Amazon Household can accommodate various family members, there are specific limits for each category to ensure a streamlined experience. The total number of members in an Amazon Household is capped at six.
Here's a detailed breakdown of who can be part of an Amazon Household:
- Adults: You can include a maximum of two adults. These adults can manage the household, share eligible Prime benefits, and access shared digital content.
- Teens: Up to four teens (ages 13-17) can be added. Teens get their own login to shop or stream, with adult approval required for purchases.
- Children: Up to four children (under 13) can be included. Children's profiles are linked to an adult's account, allowing adults to manage their content and settings through Amazon Kids+.
To summarize the member structure:
| Member Type | Maximum Quantity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | 2 | Each adult has their own Amazon account. They can share Prime benefits and manage household settings. |
| Teens | Up to 4 | Teens (ages 13-17) can have their own login but require adult approval for purchases and content access. |
| Children | Up to 4 | Children (under 13) use profiles managed by an adult account, primarily for Amazon Kids+ content. |
| Total Household Members | Up to 6 | The combined total of adults, teens, and children cannot exceed six members. |
Benefits of Sharing with Amazon Household
Setting up an Amazon Household provides several practical advantages for families:
- Shared Prime Benefits: Both adults in the household can enjoy eligible Prime benefits, such as Prime Video, Prime Reading, Amazon Photos, and Prime delivery, without needing separate subscriptions.
- Digital Content Sharing: Share Kindle books, apps, games, and Audible audiobooks with other household members, expanding entertainment options for everyone.
- Parental Controls: Adults can easily manage profiles for teens and children, including setting purchase limits, content restrictions, and screen time limits.
- Simplified Shopping: With shared payment methods (if enabled by adults), shopping on Amazon becomes more convenient for authorized members.
Managing Your Amazon Household
Adding or removing members from your Amazon Household is a straightforward process accessible through your Amazon account settings. This flexibility allows you to update your household composition as your family's needs evolve, ensuring that the right people have access to shared benefits and content.
