What Parents Need to Know

About Kido'z

Parents need to know that while this free, downloadable browser is generally very safe, it comes pre-stocked with a wide variety of shows and videos, some of which may not be appropriate for very young children. These can be toggled on and off through the parental controls section of the Web site.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about spending time online and how their “computer time” fits into the larger schedule of their everyday lives. Because Kido’z is a browser and offers unlimited playability and entertainment, children and parents will need to negotiate time limits. Read our tips on Setting Computer Time Limits.
