Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We already have a 2nd generation Echo Dot and really like it. We were very excited when we found out about the Kids Edition so there would be parental controls to protect our children. The Kids Edition was received on the 9th. Upon opening the box you'll find that the Kids Edition is also a 2nd generation Dot in a child safe case. There is no difference in the Dot itself. By adding Freetime to the Kids Edition (or any Dot) you get to control what is accessed. However, Freetime prevents one from using other functions such as setting an alarm. I feel duped for paying twice as much for virtually the same product. Plus, after the 'free' 1 year subscription of Freetime expires, it becomes quite expensive. Can't deny that we really love the case and hope they will eventually be sold separately.
