Sony Remote Control RM-KZ1 Just For Kids

You know how it is: you have kids and from time to time you fight over who gets to change the channel or listen to Pandora on your Sony TV. Most of the times, a toddler gets hold of a remote control for a few minutes and you may spend hours looking for it later on. Well, Sony rushed to a solution and brought forth a kiddie remote control RM-KZ1 pictured above. The manufacturer included some nice touches to its functionality aimed at kids such as it is splash proof and featuring locked down battery and programming compartments, it has also a “volume limiting” feature which disables the volume to be changed +/- 3 steps within half a minute. Not a bad toy, wouldn’t you agree? Back in the 80s Sony used to have a whole line of products devoted to children and was marketed under he term My First Sony selling Walkman, tape players outfitted with microphones, and lots of other colorful devices you would never think Sony would make. It was a great idea and sold well.

I also spotted another kid related product in the form of headphones – MDR-222KD available in pink or black colors. Most headphones don’t fit children comfortably. The MDR-222KD headphones were designed with a child’s head in mind. This allows the child to comfortably wear the headphones without strain that full sized headphones might cause as well as fit that eliminates the need to constantly adjust the headphones.

Both the remote control and the headphones can be picked up at Target for under $20.
