Choosing your child’s first device is a BIG moment.
Not because of the tech, but because of what it represents.
It’s about trust.
It’s about freedom.
It’s about letting go just a little… while still wanting to keep them safe.
And in a world where most devices are designed to grab attention (not protect childhood), it’s fair to ask:
Is there a first device that helps kids grow without pulling them into nonstop screen time?
That’s exactly why Cosmo exists.

The short version (TL;DR)
Cosmo is a solution built thoughtfully for families designed to build confidence and independence with safety at its core:
-
It helps kids take those intentional first steps toward independence
-
It gives parents confidence with every step of growing up
-
It provides kids with a safe and secure option for growing connection
-
It avoids the distractions that come with phones and social media
What it’s not:
-
❌ A mini smartphone
-
❌ Endless scrolling, feeds, or apps
-
❌ Screen time disguised as “kids tech”
Cosmo is built for real life from school drop-offs and neighborhood play, to those everyday firsts.
Why parents are rethinking a child’s first device
Let’s be honest: parenting today is different than it used to be.
Technology moves fast, but childhood doesn’t have to.
Many “kids” devices still feel like adult tech in smaller packaging. Parents are expected to manage screen time, safety, and boundaries using tools that were never designed to help us succeed.
That’s the problem Cosmo set out to solve.
At Cosmo, we believe technology should support childhood, not replace it.
So… what is Cosmo?
Cosmo is a smartwatch made specifically for kids…and for parents.
It’s designed for all the little moments like:
-
Walking to school or the bus stop
-
Playing outside with the neighborhood kids
-
Running ahead at the park
- Building confidence while staying connected
Cosmo gives kids a sense of independence without giving them the internet in their pocket.
What Cosmo does (and why parents love it)
So what do we do? Well to start Cosmo is a smart watch for kids that creates connection, without sacrificing imagination. But it’s also so much more.
It’s a first device built specifically for the amazing journey of growing up. Because here’s the thing we so often forget: while our kids are growing up before our eyes, somehow as parents we’re growing up too! As our child moves through the tender stages from complete dependence to early exploration to eventual full independence, we as parents or guardians have to grow with them.
And that’s what Cosmo is really all about. Being the tool both kids and parents need for the journey of growing up together...one step at a time.
Built by parents, for families
Cosmo started the same way many great ideas do…around a kitchen table.
With questions like:
-
Remember when kids played outside until the street lights came on?
-
What if simple is actually better… with the right kind of smart?
-
Why does parenting feel so hard today...and can tech actually help?

Founder and CEO Russell York built Cosmo with one goal in mind: bring families closer together with technology that protects what matters most.
The result is Cosmo JrTrack—a kids smartwatch that’s safe, simple, parent-controlled, and designed to grow with your child.
Tech should support and inspire childhood, not replace it
Cosmo is for families who want a smarter start.
One where kids build confidence and stay connected.
And childhood still feels like childhood.
Here at Cosmo it’s our mission… and our honor…to support thousands of families in their journey to find connection that feels right.
