With the new US-only feature, which is targeted for kids ages 13 to 17, a parent can add up to four teens to their
Amazon Household account for free and set a payment method that a teen can't see, as well as shipping addresses.
Teens can then shop on the Amazon mobile app on their own. Parents will get an email or text for purchases their teens make, and can approve or decline each order. When making purchases, teens can even add a note to their parents, such as "I need this book for school."
"With this program, teenagers will have that independence and parents will have the control that they need," Michael Carr, Amazon's vice president of Amazon Households, said in an interview.
