Families first

★★★★★
My 9-year-old calls me from the backyard fort like it's mission control. He has never once asked me for an iPad since it arrived.

We held out on a smartphone for our 12-year-old and were the bad guys for a year. LOUP ended the argument. She's reachable, we're relaxed, and she actually thinks it looks cool.

The build quality shocked me. It feels like an object from Braun, not a kids' toy. My son treats it like a treasure.

Our whole friend group bought them together. The kids call each other constantly — out loud, laughing, like we did in 1995 on the landline.
