Perfect for a Kid-Friendly Smart Room â Engaging, Educational, and Fun!
I love this smart device for my toddlerâs room! The cute design and variety of fun voices make it super engaging. One of my favorite features is the ‘Daily News Just for Kids,’ which shares fun science facts and new discoveries each day. There are also plenty of kid-friendly skillsâlike Amazon Storytime for bedtime and music playback for favorite songs during the day. The first year of the subscription is free, with a small fee afterward (check the terms), but it’s definitely worth it. I also turned my toddlerâs room into a smart room, so he can ask Alexa to turn the lights on and off since he canât reach the switch yet. Itâs educational and convenient, and my child loves interacting with it!

Amazing!
Itâs adorable and does everything your traditional Alexa does, but more catered for kids. Itâs exactly what I wanted, very pleased and this gift was well received too!

Easy to use, good size
When I first got it I thought it was a little small, but what does it really need to be big for anyway? You can hear it from every room and it responds even when Iâm in another room. My son absolutely loves it and uses it often. The set up was easy, although I did have some trouble connecting Spotify, but eventually got it. The Alexa app is very helpful.

Surprisingly loud speaker and fun theme
I just recently purchased this for my son’s 6th birthday to help him have an option for audiobooks, alarm clock, and listening to music and he LOVES it! He greets Alexa every time he gets home and says goodnight to her and gets a bedtime story from her while he waits for me to come read to him and tuck him in. We have successfully added a few Alexa skills (including Big Fart which MAY have been a mistake on my part) and so far they seem to work pretty well.Pros:- Cute dragon theme and image (Alexa introduces herself and says she likes to pretend she is a dragon and has a kid-friendly voice character)- Optional additional Dragon Egg Cradle (have not personally purchased yet but am tempted)- Great resource to allow kids access to audiobooks and learning materials with parental controls through the parent dashboard- 1 year free subscription to Amazon Kids+ which is a great deal if you have an amazon kids tablet already (same price as you already pay for a year and an echo dot? Yes please!)- An avenue for little ones to ask some of their random questions to someone other than overloaded parents- Many cool Alexa skills from independent companies (Math practice games? Yes! Talk to Pikachu? Yes!)- Alarm clock, speaker, nightlight and more in one!Cons:- Alexa can sometimes get very confused. This can be frustrating for anyone, but especially for little ones with little tolerance for the pitfalls of technology. Sometimes she doesn’t hear you correctly and says she can’t do something they know she can do. Sometimes she starts playing music while doing another skill and the speaker just can’t take it. Sometimes she just plain doesn’t listen the first 10 times you try and ask. It’s…….. frustrating and stressful when this happens to say the least. Teach your little one how to reset Alexa if this happens so they can feel in control instead of having a meltdown or running out screaming over her.- Not all of the Alexa skills work quite how they are meant to and will totally mess Alexa up and require a reset and removal of the skill entirely.- Alexa has very specific commands and these can be hard to remember sometimes. Consider writing out or typing up a list of the most common commands for little ones to help them remember the right order of words.- The Echo dot can get surprisingly loud and when you ask Alexa to turn down the volume it is in very small increments so you will need to do it manually if they have somehow turned it up to blasting.- After Alexa’s bedtime has hit she will not respond to any commands or be able to use any skills. This includes asking her to stop playing something she already was, using a nightlight skill, or setting an alarm. The only option you have after her off time is to manually reset it so she goes quiet. The timer options are awesome tools to keep little ones from turning her on and playing with her instead of going to bed, but does restrict some of the bedtime options you could have like the nightlight.Overall, we have loved our experience with this product so far and it has only been in use for about a week (but pretty constantly). We’ll see how this holds up over time!

Great for kids
Super cool for kids. My kiddo is 6 and can play any song she wants and ask a lot of questions like what the weather is or even what the capital of Canada is. Very cool item to have. It has a kids voice too that my kiddo loves. Great price also. Very easy to use.

Nephew loves it!
Great voice recognition, nice size and perfect for kids. Itâs kinda tricky to get around the skills.. you have to activate skills like the white noise.. but once you get that done, itâs great!

Adore it…
This is for me , not a kid. The owl motif is adorable. The sound is GREAT! I was able to turn off the kids functionality and use it as a regular echo dot. I did have some difficulty unpairing it from my gen 2 echo dot ,but when done it runs well. Love this little guy!
