VTech unveils family communication app for InnoTab 3S

CHICAGO, USA: VTech announced the availability of VTech Kid Connect for the InnoTab 3S. Extending the company's 30-plus-year history of innovation, VTech's InnoTab 3S is the only children's learning tablet to offer this unique, ground-breaking communication app that brings families together.

Whether they are at daycare, a neighbor's house or across the country visiting grandparents, VTech Kid Connect helps parents stay connected to their kids when apart - anytime, anywhere.

With secure and easy-to-use tablet-to-mobile communication, pre-schoolers as young as three years old can emulate their parents and older siblings, allowing them to feel like they are part of the messaging trend by sending text messages and cute animated stickers to parents' smartphones, all from a kid-safe, kid-friendly tablet. In return, parents can send text messages and stickers 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, regardless of how far apart they are. Since only devices approved by parents can communicate with their children's InnoTab 3S, they can rest assured their children are only communicating with people they know and trust, making VTech Kid Connect a true breakthrough in kid-safe family networking.

Access to VTech Kid Connect is free for one-year with the purchase of an InnoTab 3S. The Premium Kid Connect app includes even more enhanced features, allowing kids and parents to send each other voice messages, photos and drawings, as well as texts and animated stickers - communication features typically reserved for adults, finally made just for kids.

The premium version is now available as a paid download through VTech's Learning Lodge™ app store - home to over 600 titles of educator-approved downloadable content and curriculum for purchase.
