KidZui – A Safe Internet Approach Created Especially For Kids

Internet and children - not a very good combination, most people tend to think. It would take an immense work for parents to sort Internet content and make it an appropriate and enjoyable experience for their children.

But, there is a way! For just $99.95 a year, KidZui will keep both children and parents happy, with a new service that enables kids to browse pre-selected content on the Web. In other words, parents and teachers worked together to make Internet safe, easy and fun for kids aged 3 to 12.

The service offers access to over 500,000 Web sites, pictures and videos, and with the help of the KidZui browser, kids can have access to their favorite games or the best sites for kids. KidZui was created in such a way that the experience will be easy for children, and in ways that will help them personalize it.

For example, kids will be able to customize avatars and choose their favorite design, while at the same time, they will be able to share content with their friends. It includes lots of games, as well as educational information that can be useful for those in school.

Parents will have complete control over what their kids may and may not access, and will always be in touch with their children’s activities on the Internet. This could also be a way of helping parents and children grow stronger and closer relationships, as the Internet can now be fun and safe.

The company opened its service on Wednesday, and it offers a 30-day free trial period for those who want to try it before actually paying money for it. Other browses offer parental control features, but that implies constant involvement of the parents, a lot of work and less fun.

KidZui has already been revised by teachers and parents, and if we think of it, who else would know better about what is appropriate for children to view on the Internet? The browser is compatible with both Macintosh and Windows operating systems.
