You can input your own, but some, such as the Cbeebies site and other child-appropriate ones are already programmed in. The device also comes with its own internet browser that allows your child to access the internet and visit certain pre-approved websites. There are also games and the VTech Learning Lodge app, with the opportunity to download more. The VTech KidiCom Advance has many of the features that you find on a ‘proper’ mobile phone – a camera, an app that allows you to silly filters as you do with Snapchat, a notes section, a calendar, clock, alarm, voice messaging, music player and much more. It also houses a built-in rechargeable battery that gives a pretty reasonable battery life. It has a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen, a 2.0MP rotatable camera and 8GB of internal memory which is expandable up to 40GB with the use of a microSD card. It’s nice and chunky, making it easy for small hands to hold and grip. However, unlike my iPhone, which has seen more than it’s fair share of drops over the years, the VTech KidiCom Advance is robust and can handle them. What are the features of the VTech KidiCom Advance?įirst of all, it looks incredibly realistic – it really does look like a big smartphone, which is part of the attraction for the kids. While tablets are great, sometimes, they want a phone just like mummy and daddy – and that’s where the VTech KidiCom Advance comes in. Possibly less educationally, they like to take selfie after selfie using the Snapchat filters on my phone, and I can’t count how many blurred photos I find on the iPad of feet and close-ups of eyeballs and nostrils. The boys often watch YouTube videos that support their learning or play games. Whether we like it or not, kids love technology, and whatever you think about phones and tablets, there are plenty of educational benefits to them.
We have always been a huge fan of the brand, having had the walker and singing Alfie bear when Harrison was a baby, to the Kidizoom camera we reviewed a couple of months ago to our latest item, the VTech KidiCom Advance, which hasn’t disappointed.
