Amazon letting teens create their own account with parents' permission

Wednesday, October 11, 2017
Amazon wants to attract teenage shoppers with a new feature that lets them shop without their parents.

The new feature gives teens their own log-in information using their parents account. Adults can sign up as many as four teens between 13 and 17 to buy things on the Amazon app.

Parents get notifications when something is bought and they can approve or reject a purchase with the push of a button. Parents also get to set spending limits.

Would you get this for your child?
