## What is VTech KidiConnect™?

KidiConnect™ lets you keep in touch with your child even when you are away from home.

With KidiConnect™ kids can share messages using a compatible VTech toy.  All contacts must be approved by parents before any communication can take place so parents will have peace of mind knowing their child is in a kid-safe environment. 

NOTE: KidiConnect™ is meant for communication with compatible VTech toys.  You cannot use it to send messages to adults or children who do not have a compatible device.


Why Use KidiConnect™?

• Stay Connected with Your Child Anytime, Anywhere.  KidiConnect™ uses an Internet connection to let you communicate with your child even when you are away from home - anywhere in the world. Parents can also add family members and friends to the child's contact list, so grandparents can stay close too.
•  Kid Friendly. All contacts must be approved by parents before communication can take place. Users who are not on a child's contact list cannot contact your child.
•  Good For All Ages! Even the youngest kids can use KidiConnect™ to share voice messages, photos, drawings, stickers, and pre-recorded messages. And as children grow, they will be able to share text messages too!
•  Group Chat. With Group Chat, your child can communicate and share with multiple family members or friends at the same time. 
•  It's Fun! You can customize your KidiConnect™ avatar with your photo, or choose one of several cartoon designs. There are also fun stickers and pre-recorded messages. Your child can even use the voice changer to record a robot voice or a mouse voice!


Using KidiConnect™

Parents:
Please register your child's VTech device before downloading this app.  This will create a Learning Lodge® Family Account, which one parent can use to log in to this app. That parent will be in charge of the child's contact list and can use this app to send or approve friend requests on their child's behalf.
The other parent will have to sign up for a separate Learning Lodge® account and be added to the family like any other relative.

Relatives:
You must get parental approval before you can contact a child. Once you've signed up for a Learning Lodge® account, send the child's parents a request to join their family.

* KidiConnect™ works with KidiBuzz™ and other VTech devices which support KidiConnect™ or VTech Kid Connect™.

I don’t recommend by the way i have a dx2 watch

### 5/5 — It’s fun

*2025-07-27, version 1.16.3804*

5

### 1/5 — Fun when it works

*2025-06-10, version 1.16.3804*

When it works properly my family enjoys it! We love to message throughout the day but it always says one of my kids does not have permission to chat, I go to give them permission and it says they already do! Going back into the app or reloading it still doesn’t do anything. It even locks their device as well! Wish they’d fix this because my kids absolutely love chatting with me while I’m away at work.

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2024-10-24, version 1.16.3804*

Can’t sign up so annoying

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2024-09-13, version 1.16.3804*

Im tryna connect this to my sisters lil vtech phone.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-02-27, version 1.16.3804*

I can’t even add friends! I mean I sent hundreds of friend requests and I’m still not in contact with my friend! I tried 5 times! 5!!!! AND IT STILL WONT WORK!!!! PLEASE FIX!!!!! P.S: DO NOT GET THIS APP!!!

### 1/5 — Cannot put verification code

*2024-02-11, version 1.16.3804*

I had access to lido connect with my little sister for about a year and then it randomly kicked me off and would not let me sign in. I created a new account with a new email and it wouldn’t let me input the verification code due to functional flaws in this app. Very fun app when it works which seems to be a rarity.

### 1/5 — It’s a VTech server error

*2024-01-12, version 1.16.3804*

This needs to be fixed, I could have bought my child a real phone, with the money I spent on this!!

### 1/5 — Can’t login

*2023-04-22, version 1.16.3804*

After 7276282 times of enter 8 character password with all the specifications it doesn’t let me login.
