You cannot use it to send messages to adults or children who do not have a compatible device. Why Use KidiCom Chat™? • Stay Connected with Your Child Anytime, Anywhere.

You can also add family members and friends to the child's contact list, so other loved ones can stay in touch too. • Kid-Friendly. You approve all contacts 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 KidiCom Chat™ to share video clips, voice messages, photos, drawings and stickers. As children grow, they will be able to share text messages too! • Group Chat. Your child can communicate and share with multiple family members or friends at the same time. • It's Fun! You can share video clips with funny filters! Your child can even use the voice changer to sound like a robot or a mouse! Using KidiCom Chat™ Parents/Guardians: Please register your child's VTech device before downloading this app. This will create a Learning Lodge® Family Account, which one adult can use to log in to this app. That adult 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. Other adults will sign up for a separate Learning Lodge® account and be added to the family like other relatives. Other Relatives: The Learning Lodge® Family Account holder must approve before you can contact a child. Once you've signed up for a Learning Lodge® account, send the child's account a request to join their family. * KidiCom Chat™ works with KidiBuzz™ and other VTech devices that support KidiCom Chat™ , KidiConnect™ or VTech Kid Connect™.
