Amazon's
kid-friendly Echo works well, but
don't waste your money on the bundle

The Good
Alexa tells great jokes (for kids) • Voice-driven kids games are entertaining •
works just like a regular
Echo Dot
The Bad
Teaching manners not effective for
Echo veterans • Value of
bundle is questionable
The Bottom Line
Alexa is quite good at catering to an underage audience in the
Echo Dot Kids Edition, but since you can enable FreeTime for Alexa on any
Echo Dot, there's not much reason to buy this bundle.
