Amazon Echo Show 5 Kids (3rd Gen, 2023)

Standard Show 5 hardware, a 2-year guarantee, and a subscription that quietly starts billing. At $99.99, Amazon's 2023 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the smart Displays we compare run from $79.99 to $399.99. It scores 5.4/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.

Its strongest showing is Privacy Hardware at 8.0/10 — physical camera shutters, hardware mic cut-offs and how much sensing runs by default. The weakest is Smart Home Hub at 3.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.

Worth knowing before you buy: the included Amazon Kids+ year auto-renews — cancel it or it becomes a recurring bill; and only $10 of the premium is hardware; the rest is a subscription you may not want. Every specification on this page comes from Amazon's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
