A friend of mine has a daughter who is too young for a smart phone, but he still wants her to be able to listen to music on the go. I found the following devices using spotify. Have you used any of these or do you have any alternative suggestions?

Edit: found what I was looking for. https://bemighty.com/

Could alternatively use a data-only card if you want to allow streaming.

You can then limit the data used a couple ways - through your account, or with a local app or phone config (and some of these apps use a pin)

You could also use an app like No Root Firewall to limit network access (and Android can enforce an always-on VPN, preventing network access if the VPN isn't running). It too can be locked with a pin.

Just some ideas if you want to allow streaming with specific apps (no root permits you to block network for all apps, with exceptions). I use it with a prefilter that blocks a bunch of social media and ad domains.

That’s a good idea too. All depends on how much freedom the parent wants to give the child.
