Last month I shared our experience with the all-new VTech InnoTab® 3S Wi-Fi Learning App Tablet. I wanted to share some additional details including unique features that are only included with the InnoTab 3S.
VTech Kid Connect is a unique, ground-breaking family communication app for the InnoTab 3S that brings families together and helps parents stay connected to their kids when apart – anytime, anywhere!
- With secure and easy-to-use tablet-to-mobile communication, parents and children can exchange voice and text messages, pictures, drawings and stickers in real time!
- Kids can send messages to their parents’ smartphones and tablets, all from the kid-safe, kid-friendly InnoTab 3S.
- In return, parents can sent messages back to their child’s InnoTab 3S, opening up an interactive dialogue.
- Plus, kids can stay connected to their friends and siblings by exchanging messages safely between two InnoTab 3S tablets anywhere in the world (with Wi-Fi), regardless of how far apart they are.
The InnoTab 3S includes a one-year subscription of Basic Kid Connect, which allows kids and parents to send text messages and stickers. In addition, the Premium Kid Connect app offers enhanced features that allow kids and parents to send not only text messages and stickers, but voice messages, photos and drawings to each other. Premium Kid Connect is available for $14.99 through the VTech Learning Lodge program. The smartphone and tablet app is free to download.
Grandparents, cousins, and close friends can even send your little ones messages using the Kid Connect App. It’s all parent-controlled so you approve which person your child is interacting with. Our boys don’t have many family members that live nearby, so this app allows Grandma to send special voice messages or stickers when she’s thinking of them. It’s also a great way for the boys to connect with Daddy since he works outside of the home. It only takes a matter of seconds to send a quick message through the Kid Connect App.
Did you know? Nearly 90% of moms find it stressful to be away from their children because of work, business trips, chores or other commitments, according to the results of a new survey conducted on behalf of VTech by BabyCenter, the #1 pregnancy and parenting destination worldwide.
Baby boy sent me a drawing and picture via the Premium Kid Connect App to my iPhone. He loves sending me stickers, while my favorite feature is sending him voice messages that he can listen to anytime.
Check out this short video to learn more about Kid Connect and its features. And be sure to follow VTech on Facebook to stay up to date with their latest products and news.
