The company claims that Glow offers a safe and private experience for kids. It allows parents to control contacts, disable cameras and microphones on the device by simply closing the privacy shutter. Parents can also control the activities through an Amazon Parent Dashboard. The company claims that Glow doesn’t track or save location data or even the drawings that are made.
Amazon Glow comes with the mat, a mat case, the Tangram Bits puzzle game, and a one-year Amazon Kids+ subscription.
How to access and subscribe
A subscription is required to access the device for Amazon Kids+ content. Kids’ content on the device includes e-books and Glow’s interactive games, visual arts activities, and animated storybooks. Customers who do not have the subscription will not be able to access the whole kid’s content. They could only have access to features such as video calling, web videos, and purchased content such as e-books shared with the child.
