With a teenage daughter who was spending too much time chatting, on Yahoo mail, and MySpace, etc., this was just the trick! The ability to limit her time and keep her from surfing at 2am has gone a long way to keeping things under control.

I bought this for my kids, but it really didn't serve the purpose I was looking for. To REALLY protect your kids against bad sites on the internet, use Intego's ContentBarrierX. This is a much more thorough solution.
By the way, the previous user's comments are unwarranted. If you purchase a serial for Bumper Car, and then in a few months need to re-install, you will find that the code has expired. However, if you go to the site, you can renew your license with a new code for FREE. It is very easy, as I have done it. It is merely a protection device for the seller.

Sneaky company "forgets" to tell you in advance that serial will expire every 1-2 months - Version: 2.0.3, 10/7/2005 10:22PM PST

I purchased BumperCar, a kid-safe browser for my 11 y/o daughter, for $30. It is decent as a browser and only minimally buggy in its settings (manually inputting forbidden URLs does not work from the settings window, only from the main browser window by using a button or menu item).
But the biggest problem is the following.
When I received my confirmation email with my password, I found the following line in it:
"The above code is good for 1-2 months following your purchase,
then it expires. Should you need to re-register your game after
the code expires, simply retrieve a new one using our Code
Retrieval System at https://store.freeverse.com/code/"
I sent them the following:
"This is totally unacceptable. You should have warned
me about this in advance.
It is not a practice that I was supposed to
anticipate. I have purchased many software products
but I have never encountered this [...]. Besides, since
when is BumperCar a GAME??? I purchased your product
as a web browser for my daughter, not as a game for
myself. She uses it for school stuff. What is she
supposed to do if the code expires and I happen to be
away which I do often?
I want my money back. "
They have not even had the decency to respond.
