Best choice for kids 5 & 7? Leaning towards fire HDX's with otterbox cases for durability. Plus seems like kindle is geared towards kids with prime and freetime.
I like the Nexus 7, but we tried them last year and screens shattered after a few months. Nexus just seem very fragile versus my kindle fire that I have had for 2 years is still chugging along just fine. I want a tablet that can take the bumps and drops of everyday use from kids.

My kids are younger than yours and they each have iPad 2's and the amount of abuse those things take is amazing. I have them in cases like this http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11212&cs_id=1084902&p_id=9589&seq=1&format=2 and they've help up really well. I wouldn't get them an Air, but for iPad's a 2/3/4 would probably work well. I can't speak to how the newer Kindle Fire's hold up (I have an OG Fire that was a tank), but I do love those EVA foam cases for kids to use.
