Web browsing for children

BumperCar 2.2 from Freeverse Software is a web browser for children based on the same engine as Apple’s own Safari. Featuring a start page that encourages children to explore a collection of kid-friendly sites, it can be configured to be in a Home, School or Pre-School setting with personalized features appropriate for each location. It also filters out objectionable web content, limits the sharing of personal information, and forces Google to use a "Safe Search" mode. A “Tunnel of Mystery” teleports kids to a random kid-safe site. BumperCar. Parents may add additional controls of their own choosing in the Preferences. Unlike most other browsers, however, it isn’t free – but then, you can’t have everything.
