For the first time, teenagers will be able to independently log into Amazon and shop as long as they are linked to their parent’s accounts. Amazon says parents can hand over the shopping keys to the kids, though they’ll still have the power to put up a red light. Before the purchase is finalized, they will get a text or email showing a picture, description and price of the item. Parents can also opt out of green-lighting every purchase, setting a spending limit instead that can vary from child to child. It makes financial sense to loop in the teens and tweens who make up generation Z.
