Our take on the Amazon Echo Dot 5 Kids Edition

The Echo Dot 5 Kids Edition is a small Alexa smart speaker built for children's rooms, with a purple or owl-themed shell, a year of Amazon Kids+ content and parental controls. It uses the same 15 W driver and dual-band Wi-Fi as the standard Echo Dot 5, so sound and voice pickup are similar, but it adds kid-safe filters, a two-year worry-free guarantee and an LED display that dims at night. It suits families who want a first smart speaker for a child, though households without Alexa or Amazon Kids+ get less from it than from a plain Echo Dot.
