Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
A trio of Seattle parents created Tin Can, a landline-style telephone designed specifically for children that allows them to make calls without exposing them to the harmful distractions and risks of smartphones. The device was developed by Chet Kittleson, Max Blumen, and Graeme Davies after they couldn't find suitable phones they felt comfortable giving to their own children. Tin Can provides basic calling functionality while eliminating access to social media, internet browsing, and other smartphone features that parents find concerning for young users.
