Okay, so I got this Echo Show 5 Kids bundle for my 6-year-old and here's the real tea ☕️
First off - the GOOD: My kid is OBSESSED with telling Alexa to change the Glow light colors (though she keeps begging me why it won't stay white during music...same kid, same). The Disney character voices? Absolute genius move - Mickey doing weather reports gets her giggling every time.
The parental controls are lifesavers. I can finally shower without worrying she'll accidentally video call Antarctica. The homework help feature? Surprisingly legit for basic math/spelling.
Now the NOT-SO-GOOD: That Glow light color-changing during music? Drives my perfectionist child NUTS. Also heads up - setting up routines took me three tries and one very strong coffee to figure out.
Final verdict? 4/5 stars ⭐️ Would totally recommend to parents who want to feel tech-savvy while their kids think they're magic ✨ Just maybe wait for a software update about that pesky light situation.
