Smart speakers have quickly been embraced by many families, so the fifth-generation Amazon Echo Dot Kids has been unveiled as a way to extend this family-focused functionality.
Designed with kids in mind, the new smart speaker features the recognizable sphere-like form that's covered in a cartoon-inspired finish in two options including a Dragon and an Owl. The speaker features integrated parental controls to let administrators set time limits, restrict content access according to age and more.
The fifth-generation Amazon Echo Dot Kids smart speaker is priced at $59.99 and comes with a year of access to Amazon Kids+ for children aged three to 12 to enjoy. Kids can intuitively access games, books and a range of educational features at their leisure by simply asking Alexa.
