Amazon Echo (any of them)

Stick with us here - we know that Amazon's smart speakers don't, on the surface, look much like baby-friendly tech. But this one isn't so much for the baby as it is for you, the parents. When your child arrives, being able to get your podcasts or soothing playlists playing without access to your phone or physical controls will be a godsend, trust us. Amazon's smart assistant Alexa will become your best friend, getting things rolling while you're elbow-deep in nappies. It's a must for any parental home.
