Great product. October 30, 2008
Me (Antioch, CA United States)
Just what I was looking for to allow my son to enjoy all of the wonderful kid-friendly websites, while filtering out all of the trash. Simple to use and set up.
I love this December 11, 2006

I use this for my children, now aged 7 & 9. It works well, and they like it. It has age based settings that I have more or less used as they are. I removed a few links and added some of my own liking. It is completely customizable. I also recently activated the time controls. My kids can not get online before 7:30am and can not stay on past 7:30pm. In addition to the blackout times, I can control the total number of hours per day that they can be online. Any time I want I can temporarily allow a particular site.
The only problem I have had is that for sites that require a logon and password it doesn't work properly. For example my kids are playing fantasy football. I allowed the NFL website and all is well until they try to log in to see their team. For that I have to switch over to Firefox. While that is a minor inconvenience the bigger problem is that the more times they see me close the bumper car browser and go in to open Firefox the sooner they will "learn" how to do so and bypass the whole process themselves.
