1. Describe the problem:
I am a parent of a 4-year-old. I need a device that would allow my daughter to independently stream music to a speaker over Wi-Fi, without using a phone, tablet, or increasing screen time. Now, every time she wants to practice music or dance, she requires adult help. I want to give her independence, but in a safe and convenient way.
2. How often does the problem occur?
This happens constantly — more than 8 times a week. Each such situation interrupts my time and creates unnecessary dependency for the child.
3. What attempts have you made to solve the problem?
I've asked around and looked for solutions but haven't found a suitable one. Smart speakers with voice control are too complex for a four-year-old and raise concerns, while children's players usually don't support streaming from modern services.
4. How much are you willing to pay for the solution?
I'm willing to pay around $150 for a simple and reliable device that solves this problem: with a child-friendly interface (e.g., large buttons or cards), Wi-Fi connectivity to streaming services, and managed by a parent via an app.
