Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 4–7

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    As with most children's programming, some shows are educational, some not so much.

  • User-created content:

    There is no user-created content on the site.

  • Messages:

    KidMango is a part of MyFamilyTV, a larger initiative to provide positive programming for children.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Offerings are categorized by age-appropriateness on the site. Some of the 8+ offerings have some violence and iffy content (aliens, vampires, scary sharks, etc. - but all in cartoon form).

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    The site was in beta when reviewed, but it appears that users will be offered commercial opportunities related to the content they are watching in the accompanying links section.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    There is no drinking, drugs or smoking in KidMango content.
 

How safe is it?

  • Personal privacy:

    The site is designed to NOT put children into a position where their personal privacy could in any way be compromised.

  • Online interaction:

    Not an issue.

  • Parental controls:

    A parent email is needed to open a KidMango account, but otherwise the content is pretty readily available to whoever wants to access it. Kids do leave a viewing history which can be reviewed by parents.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About KidMango

Parents need to know that this site offers a huge range of mostly positive cartoons for kids preschool age to 8+. The site allows unrestricted use and access to all areas. While all content on the site is considered appropriate for children under the age of 13, parents should watch alongside younger children.

Families Can Talk About

  • What is "good" entertainment and what isn't? Many of the shows here have strong, positive messages -- which stand in stark contrast to those which are purely entertainment driven.

  • Families can also talk about setting limits on computer time. Because of the vast amount of content here, and the unrestricted nature of the site, it can be very easy to spend a lot of time here.

    Great site -- great content

    Lots of good stuff - from fun cartoons to educational live-action mini-movies. The biggest downside at the moment are the commercials (which, compared to other sites, are actually pretty minimal) and the tough-to-navigate controls. But, it's still in beta, so I'm sure that will improve! Overall, a very fun and VERY safe site, with lots of family-friendly content. If your child is old enough for PBS Kids, s/he's old enough for KidMango!
