How To Create an Internet "Safe Zone" For Your Kids

Previously, we covered How To Child-Proof The Internet For Your Kids with PikLuk -- a FREE service that provides a safe Internet experience for your children.

Today, we'll cover KidZui - a paid service, that may be well worth the price.

KidZui creates a "safe zone" for your kids inside the "internet", using a custom built browser.

The company has hired around 200 teachers and parents from across the United States to scour the net for appropriate sites and content. So far they’ve whitelisted about 500,000 websites, pictures and videos.

Parents receive weekly emails that will keep you up-to-date with what your kids are searching for and looking at on KidZui.

Use the parent account on KidZui.com, accessed from any browser to tune in to what your kids think is cool and plan family activities around their evolving interests.


Here you can adjust each of your kids’ age settings to ensure that KidZui is appropriate for their motor skills and reading ability. Find the level that is best for now and change it as they grow.

Overall, KidZui guarantees kids’ safety and provides them with a portal into the best parts of the web. I have no doubt that parents will be willing to cough up $10 for the monthly subscription fee (or $5/mo, its current promotional rate).
