KIDS AND SPEAKER DOCKS: What Every Parent Needs To Know

As Dads and Moms ourselves, we’re torn. On the one hand, these are cute (or cute enough), decent-sounding speaker docks that our kids could use to listen to and charge those old 30-pin iPhones we gave them.

On the other hand… they’re speaker docks. You know how we feel about speaker docks. Can we face ourselves if we deliver up our own children to that monstrous evil? What if it turns into a lifelong habit?

There’s also the fact that they actually sound decent. Check out those specs: real 2.1 sound with a subwoofer! Are we ready for our kids to have phone speakers that might sound better than ours?

If they were just regular speakers that looked like a pig or a puppy, the decision would be easy. Or if they were just regular old speaker docks, that decision would be even easier. But untying this Gordian knot is enough to make us wish for a nice simple conversation about where babies come from or whether it’s OK to kick a bully in the crotch.

We knew parenting would be a minefield. We just didn’t know how cute the mines could be.
