I can’t let my daughter read this post or she will want to take over the one computer we have in the house. Oh, wait… she can’t read, and she doesn’t need to be able to read to use the kid-friendly KIDO’Z browser.
The KIDO’Z browser lets younger children safely navigate through a nice collection of kid-appropriate Web sites, videos and games. The install is quick and you just need to give a few details about your child. There is a parent control area where you can control the content your child will view, as well as set time limits.
Using the browser was pretty easy for my preschooler, and I’m sure that when my older child gets home he’ll quickly locate the section that includes science videos. There seemed to be plenty of content available — enough for the amount of time I let my kids use the computer.

Fantastic demo. I’ll definitely try this out with my 4 & 2 year olds. I haven’t been impressed with other kid-based browsers so far. Looks like KIDO’Z might rise to the top.
Mo You are coming along nicely. Good Job. Thanks.
Installed it on my Mac with OS/X. Causes Firefox to crash, and Kidoz crashes itself when running with Firefox. Also crashes based on the complexity of content of some sites. Wouldn’t recommend it for Mac users.
