    Child using Waffle screen-free kids phone at home

    The Screen-Free
    Kids Phone.

    No apps. No ads. No doom-scrolling. Just talking.

    What parents are saying.

    We wanted him to call his friends and stay in touch with his grandparents without handing him a full smartphone at six. He figured it out straight away, now he calls his best friend every afternoon. That's all we were after.

    She calls when she gets home, just to say hello, calls her grandpa in Florida, talks to her best friend about nothing. It's just a phone. That's all it is. I didn't realise how much I wanted that until we had it.

    My son is seven and he answers the phone himself now. He started calling his grandparents without being asked. I honestly did not see that coming.

    We went back and forth on a phone for a long time. Screen time was already a battle and we didn't want to make it worse. The Waffle was the right call. She's calling her cousins every week now and they actually talk properly.

    We kept putting off the phone conversation because once you go down that road there's no going back. Starting with a Waffle gave us time. He's nine, he feels independent, and I'm not lying awake worrying about what he's looking at.

    Yep! But they'll share everything — same contacts, same voice notes, and you won't know which kid is calling.

    If you want each kid to have their own contacts and messages, grab them a device each.
