Amazon Kids Echo Dot (5th Gen 2022)

I don't like that it repeatedly tries to sell you on amazon music. I also don't like how it resists playing my Spotify. I also don't like how it adds words to my requests. Example is it playing Indian classical when I ask for classical. Or playing children's songs in Spanish when I say nothing to suggest this.

It’s a really good purchase, the color, form.

Switches off at random moments, often just doesn’t respond at all.

It calms my child down and helps her stay asleep

This Alexa version can be programmed -to give notice for bedtime, snack break, dance time -to answer all sorts of questions -to provide music -yes, to help with homework! My grandkids (ages 8 and 3.5) are enjoying this technology and savor the communication!

Stopped working after 7 months

I’ve bought a lot of non sense items, and this is not one. Best 60 dollars spent ! My daughter can play music in room, ask Alexa questions, even can call my husband and I! I may have jammed out to matchbox 20 today with it! Best money spent !

Maybe I just received a bad one, but this thing doesn't work properly. Alexa keeps saying she can't do that or just completely ignores the request and starts over. Very frustrating. 2 stars cuz its cute at least.

Bought for my grandson as a Christmas present to replace the “tiger” Echo I had bought years ago. Didn’t work. Returned and had another shipped - Target customer service was great. He’s loving it

The owl is really cute! Looks just like the photo shown. Kid friendly, and easy to set up! All our kids have one and enjoy listening to music in their rooms. We also use these as “intercoms” instead of yelling for one another when we are across the house. Love them!!

After setting up this echo dot our echo show stopped answering to my son’s questions and keeps asking to enable amazon kids on it as well. So there is a huge bug in alexa echo show and echo dot’s work.

I was happy to see this cute item on sale. My son loves it. Very useful because you can drop from other dots in your home so no more yelling from downstairs to his room 😁

This will be a Christmas gift. I got the owl pattern and it looks so cute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were tired of our kids always taking over the dot in our living room to play music so when we saw this kids version, we knew it was just what we needed. It works every bit as well as the adult version but comes in an adorable design perfect for kids. We love it!

I have this speaker in my preschool classroom..the children love it.

I really enjoy having the ability to get a message to the kiddos without yelling across the room. OR having music in all the rooms without having to blast it in one room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our granddaughters an echo dot for kids a couple years ago and she loves it so we decided to get a newer one for their room here at our house. You get 1 year of amazon kids included which I appreciate. It has a very easy to use parent dashboard (even easy to use for grandparents) I can set daily time limits and filter what they use and see, you can also set up to 4 kid profiles up so that it is truly tailored for each one and heir age. There really are endless possibilities with this. Our older granddaughter (she is 8) likes to set an alarm to wake up to. She also uses it when she needs a little help with her homework. Our younger granddaughter is learning to use it (she is 3) she likes to ask Alexa to read her a bedtime story. She also loves telling Alexa she wants to have a dance party lol. The girls also love the fact they can ask Alexa to call their mom or dad whenever they want when they are here. They also use the one at home to call me and gpa when they are there. Just over all I think its a wonderful device to have, I wish we would have had it when my 3 were growing up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have two alexas at home one in the kitchen and one in the basement. The kids love it as they can ask alexa questions, have it play music, have it control our lights and many other things. They were so excited to see the little blue owl when they opened the box and wanted to immediately set it up in their bedroom. My wife and I love the parental controls and how safe we can make it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is adorable and so much fun!! It was very easy and fast to set up and our kids absolutely love it. They have so many options of things they can do. They love asking Alexa to play a game, tell them a joke, have a dance party, or to tell them stories. Some favorites: “The Floor is Lava” and “Freeze Dance”. Alexa will endlessly answer their questions in a kid-friendly and age appropriate way. We use the timers all the time and it is very convenient. Music sounds great on this little speaker and the kids (ages 6 and 8) are able to use it on their own immediately. This has been a huge hit at our house and has given our kids some independence while still under parental controls and filters. You can set daily time limits and the parent dashboard is very user friendly. We are getting a second one for upstairs for them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My children absolutely love their new Echo Dot Kids (5th Generation), they were so excited and curious the moment I unboxed it for them. We absolutely love the design of the owl, it’s cute and standout in our breakfast/play area. We love having the Echo Dot because it allows our kids to have a sense of independence (ages 3 and 5), they love being able to command Alexa with all kinds of requests such as, playing music, checking the weather, setting timers, asking questions, playing games, making silly sounds, and etc. We no longer need to set timers as our little helpers love to help set them for us! It’s a great way to allow our kids explore and expand their knowledge. This has also been great for our kids specifically as it helps encourage them to practice their English (bi-lingual family and English is not their primary language). Another plus, it seems that the hardware is the same as all the other Echo Dots, so you’re not really getting less. You’re actually getting more as the Echo Dot Kids includes a year of premium content from Amazon Kids+. What’s not to love?! Setup was quick and simple, just plug and play and follow the steps once you download the app. I personally like that the app allows you to customize settings on the parent dashboard; you can customize time limits, certain content, adjust age filter, and etc. Overall, it’s been a positive experience with our Echo and the kids are loving it so we couldn’t be any happier with it! If you are looking to add a digital assistance device in your home and you have kids, you certainly can’t go wrong with an Echo Dot Kids, it’s simple and easy to use and fun and helpful all at the same time.
