At three, Florence’s favourite thing is taking photos. At nearly six, it’s much more suitable for Eliza who likes the apps and games and messaging system.

It’s compact and robust: We use tablets on train journeys, so it’s a big plus that it’s easy to carry and won’t break easily. You can also only set up one profile at a time, which isn’t the best for siblings, especially when they are at different ages and have varying likes. The camera is easy to use. It’s not the most brilliant quality, but it is good enough for them to play with and take photos for profile pictures and to send as messages.

KidiCom Chat™ works with KidiCom™ and other VTech devices that support KidiCom Chat™ , KidiConnect™ or VTech Kid Connect™. As we are a very tech-friendly house with a couple of different tablets among us, we were interested to see what it was like and how it compares to other child-focused tablets we’ve tried out. Firstly, we went along to the KidiCom Max launch party… Using a wireless connection your child can exchange texts or record and send short video messages securely with family and friends through the KidiCom Chat app.

Other adults will sign up for a separate Learning Lodge® account and be added to the family like other relatives. It's Fun! You can share video clips with funny filters! Your child can even use the voice changer to sound like a robot or a mouse! Group Chat. Your child can communicate and share with multiple family members or friends at the same time.VTech assistants were on hand to demonstrate how to use the KidiCom Max and both children had a go. While Florence had most fun playing around with the buttons and camera, Eliza tried out lots of the features, including the games. Initial thoughts on the KidiCom Max; what’s in the box? They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. Here’s our VTech KidiCom Max review – we’ve been trying out the VTech KidiCom Max phone, a handheld smart device designed for children.

NOTE: KidiCom Chat™ is meant for communication with compatible VTech devices. You cannot use it to send messages to adults or children who do not have a compatible device. First impressions were good; it looks very much like a cross between a smartphone and a small tablet. This is great as children aren’t fooled by fake designs, as every parent has found out when their child wants to play with their phone and not the fake plastic smartphone from the toyshop. KidiConnect® works with KidiCom MAX® and other VTech devices which support KidiConnect® or VTech Kid Connect®. My two are far too young for us to even consider them having a phone yet (not till they’re 21, of course) but I can see how this would placate older children who are keener than their parents on the idea of them having one. It isn’t the easiest to set up though and we have found group messaging to be slow. And what wasn’t so great about the VTech Kids phone?

There was music, there was dancing, there was glitter and inflatables, there was soft play and crafting, there were a lot of children and parents and noise. It was, predictably, chaos.

The KidiCom Max launch was at Rave-a-Roo at the Ministry of Sound. Rave-A-Roo is a music and dance party for children and is one of those events that brilliantly balances entertaining children (with music, dancing, soft play, tattoos and crafts) along with keeping adults happy, too (with classic rave / party / dance music and a prosecco bar). The tablet has a plastic bumper and a 5 inch touchscreen that’s also shatter-proof, which is a very handy design feature. Related; I’m still mourning the loss of my less-safe iPad Mini, which met a sad and splintery end when it was dropped on a concrete floor. What Age Is The VTech Phone For Kids Suitable For? Other adults will sign up for a separate Learning Lodge™ account and be added to the family like other relatives. The all new KidiCom Advance 3.0 is a sleek, slim, touch screen tech device just like mum and dad’s smartphones! There are many ways that London changes when you’re a parent, but both me and Alex worked out we’d somehow avoided the Ministry of Sound in our youthful days of freedom in the city, so it was funny that the first time we went was with our three and five-year-olds.
