Design: The owl-themed design is charming and appealing to kids, making it a delightful addition to any child's room. It's not just a tech gadget; it's a fun and friendly companion.
Parental Controls: The built-in parental controls are a game-changer. As a parent, I can easily manage content, set time limits, and review activity, ensuring a safe and controlled environment for my children. This feature provides peace of mind and fosters responsible technology use.
Alexa Voice Assistant: The inclusion of Alexa is a big plus. Kids can ask questions, play games, and even get help with homework. The educational potential is vast, and it's wonderful to see kids learning while having fun.
Quality and Sound: The sound quality is surprisingly good for a device of this size. Whether it's playing music, reading audiobooks, or providing answers to curious young minds, it performs admirably.
Durability: This Echo Dot Kids edition is built to withstand the typical wear and tear of a child's environment. It's sturdy and well-designed, which is a relief for parents.
Interactivity: The interactive features, like stories, jokes, and trivia, keep kids engaged and entertained for hours. It's a fantastic way to encourage imaginative play and curiosity.
In summary, the Echo Dot Kids Owl edition is a wise investment for parents who want to introduce technology to their children in a responsible and educational manner. It offers a perfect blend of fun and learning, all while being backed by robust parental controls. We've had a fantastic experience with this device, and it's become an invaluable addition to our family life. I highly recommend it to all parents looking for a smart speaker that's designed with their children's well-being in mind.
What's more, this smart speaker comes with a pleasant feature that surprised us - it can read the temperature of the room it's in. This handy addition was not something we expected, but it's proven to be incredibly useful (making sure the children's room is toasty/not cold), adding to the overall utility of the device beyond just entertainment.
The Echo Dot Kids is not just a speaker; it's a fun, interactive tool that delights with its design, sound quality, and unexpected features. It's a worthy purchase for those looking to introduce children to smart devices in an enjoyable and practical way.
One of the best features is how versatile it is. Not only does he use it for entertainment purposes like playing music and games, but he also enjoys asking it questions and getting instant answers. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he sometimes uses it for an extra bedtime story, which is a fantastic added bonus.
Overall, the Echo Dot Kids has exceeded my expectations in terms of ease of use and entertainment value. It's a fantastic device that not only provides endless hours of fun but also serves as a valuable educational tool. I highly recommend it for any child looking for an interactive and engaging experience.
I did however want something that would play audiobooks for her at night and I wanted a way to share my Audible account.
This absolutely does the job - it was however on the challenging side to set up my Audible account to play audiobooks through her Echo Dot. It took both myself and my very tech-savvy husband a couple of hours and a lot of googling to figure out!
Minus the Audible issue though, the echo dot itself is extremely easy to set up.
We now use it not just for audiobooks at night, but to play her favourite songs etc in the morning- and she loves asking it to tell her jokes etc.
I was concerned it may not be as child friendly as it says so my husband and I tested out its censoring abilities and were pleasantly surprised- so far its played/ said nothing inappropriate for the age range it's set to.
I also really like that you can turn the microphone off as this was one of my concerns - I didnt want something having the ability to listen into my child's room 24/7.
Overall, I am really pleasantly surprised and pleased with this. Its doing exactly what we wanted it for plus more. Bar the tricky Audible set up, no issed or complaints at all.
