BumperCar 2 - Web Browser for Kids


Keep your kids safe while they surf the net!

BumperCar 2.0: The Mac OS X web browser just for kids. Offering unparalleled content-control and customization features, BumperCar is the most powerful Mac web browser for concerned educators and parents alike.

BumperCar earned a prestigious Best of Show award at Macworld Expo San Francisco and garnered rave reviews in the press. Now, the all-new BumperCar 2.0 runs on the same engine as Apple’s Safari and adds a host of new features for both home and educational use!

New in Version 2.0

BumperCar 2.0 has been completely re-written using Apple’s WebKit, allowing for enhanced stability, speed and compatibility. We’ve also designed new homepage options for a wider age-range of children. Safety settings are now available across all accounts on the computer, so a parent who is logged in can change their child’s account settings without logging out. These is just a few of the hundreds of improvements in BumperCar 2.0!

Features

The BumperCar Star Page

BumperCar’s start page is attractive and encourages children to explore a collection of kid-friendly sites. Browse the Internet by clicking on any of the categories, or type a destination in the Address or Search fields. Children may also guide the bumper car into the Tunnel of Mystery to be teleported to a random kid-safe site. BumperCar can be configured to be in a Home, School or Pre-School setting with personalized features appropriate for each location

Filtering

Forces Google (and other popular search engines) to use their SafeSearch features. This reduces objectionable content when a child visits these necessary sites.

Blocks profanity

If a page contains a curse word, BumperCar will detect it and redirect to a built-in page. The profanity list is completely customizable by parents and educators.

Prevents use of personal data

This checkbox allows parents to specify the information that children should not be allowed to type in a Web browser window… a child’s name or home address for instance.

Whitelists

Children can only access the sites that are listed on an approved list of websites. The age-appropriate whitelists in BumperCar are easily modified to include the websites of your local school, church, or to reflect your child’s individual interests.

Blacklists

To quickly and easily block a particular site, simply add its URL to a blacklist.

Full support for ICRA (Internet Content Rating Authority)

Provides full filtering of pages whose publishers have self-rated their content.

Limits time the child can spend online

Prevents use during certain hours (such as bedtime) and limits the total number of hours your child can spend online per day.
