Not sure how reliable can a toddler call 911, I'd rather think at a panic button or monitor like other commenters mentioned. But I have another question about this story: how many Alexa emergency calls are jokes/accidental over the entire user base? A few for sure are life saving, but I also expect quite some useless noise.

Not sure a 6 yo is considered a toddler

6 year olds are perfectly capable of operating complex computing devices already.

My 3 kids were able to handle complex computing devices even before then
