anyone have any experience with bumpercar, kids browser from Freeverse software? It's starting to look like I'm going to have to be an experimental victim on this as I can't find anyone who's used it.

On April 22nd, Freeverse said that a demo will be available shortly. I guess we'll see.

Why do you need it? Is it kid safe or something (filters out bad content)

Well, I don't actually use BumperCar, but I can probably help... got any specific questions about it?

Also, the demo is available today.

now I see something called kidsbrowser is available too, also with a demo but significantly cheaper. Although it sounds like its capabilities might be somewhat less.
