VTech KidiBuzz 3, Black

My 4 yr old special needs son always takes my phone so he can take pictures so I got this for him so he could leave mine alone. He absolutely loves it. He plays games and takes all the pictures he wants on his own phone. The touch screen is responsive. Only con is it takes a while to charge.

My daughter was asking for a phone, she's 7 so that's not happening. Got this instead. When she saw it Christmas morning she wasn't that excited, she set it aside and said it was a toy. But as we started using it I think we were both impressed. This is a great alternative to a real cell phone. She can take pictures with filters (snap chat like filters included), send texts with emojis, play games etc. It's almost as functional as a regular cell phone. I've even thought about getting a mobile hot spot and then she could send texts away from home. No technical issues with the phone at all, it works great and I am very happy with the purchase.

Gets them used to texting. You can use real apps on it. Don't have to worry about a phone plan for calls because you can't make calls. Great for parental supervision on a first device. Gets your child used to the responsibility of a phone for a fraction of the cost. Only down sides are it's a little slow at times and the battery does not last long so it needs charged frequently.For the purpose though, I'd definitely purchase again. My daughter loves it.

We got the device today and haven’t been able to use it. It has been charging for 6 hours straight and is showing about 90% charged but when I unplug it, it shows the bar about 10%. There is a require update to be install in order to register but I cannot download the update because it says that doesn’t have enough battery charge. It connected to the internet once and then it disconnected itself and I haven’t been able to connect it again. I’ll leave it charging all night and if the problem persist I’ll return it. Too complicated for a kids toy.UPDATE: February 2025 the batter died. My daughter cannot use it anymore. I’m not sure if there is still warranty.

The idea of this phone is wonderful. The way to set up texting for very specific people is great. The way you can turn apps on and off is great also. However, they have failed miserable with their technology! The phones are incredibly slow. which didn't bother my kids at all, since they aren't allowed on any other electronics for safety sake. But foe others who ate used to something snappy, look elsewhere. Also, the cpu cannot and will not operate well. They are silly to make such low RAM and memory, as this phone cannot process many of the games and apps that are available. The camera stopped working literally 2 days before the return window closed. Praise God that it happened before. I did purchase 2 of these for kid's October birthdays, so I'm waiting to see about the 2nd one. It does keep freezing and I have to keep restarting it for her, but the camera is still working at the moment, so we shall see if it doesn't get returned.

This is the perfect toy phone that comes the closest to an actual phone. I got this for my 9 year old son and he loves it and takes it everywhere like it's the real deal. He is able to text real phones from it, and he can watch YouTube, make videos, play games, etc. What else does anyone need, especially a kid, beyond that? This was his favorite birthday gift by far.

My Granddaughter (5 years old ) was having trouble falling asleep, her 2 older sisters had these so we gave her one filled with the Bluey shows. Her Mother set the timer and it turns off at 9pm. She loves having her own phone. It's my favorite gift to give. Papa will change the music, and shows as needed. The format for shows MP4. I think these are good for kids up to 11 years. The size of the screen is about 3x5.

Amazing
