Holiday Gift Guide: KoalaSafe

Do you have a child that is constantly on his or her computer, ipad or even their iphone?  Well then keep on reading.  I have a daughter who loves to play Minecraft, listen to music and most of all surf the web.  I remember that when I was little I was actually playing outside with friends, but children today are on their ipads the moment they are born.  As they get older, we as parents have it a little hard  to schedule their use of their electronic devices, because they will cry, argue or tell you well I have an online assignment from school I have to complete and of course you can’t argue with that.  What I have experienced a lot lately is that the internet tends to interrupt once in a while, and that’s when she finally will do something else besides stare at a screen.  So sometimes we are actually glad that this happens.   When I heard about KoalaSafe, I was quite excited.  I automatically started to think no more fussing and arguing.

KoalaSafe basically plugs into your existing router which creates a new wireless network. You can easily schedule the times when you want it be turned off.  This will allow them not to have access to the internet. I like this a lot because I don’t have to hear my daughter fussing about getting off the ipad. My day is looking really brighter right now.  Isn’t it great that we as parents can have the capability to protect and even manage all devices that your child is using.  I am extremely happy to hear this.

I received the KoalaSafe and of course I had a few questions raising in my mind.  Does it work and how easy is it to operate? Yes, you must be asking yourself the same questions.  Now I am not that computer savvy, but when I say it is user friendly then it really is easy to use that even a child can figure it out.  All you have to do like any new product is follow the steps:

• Take it out the box and get familiar with it.
• Download the App (available for both  Apple iPhone and Google Android phones)
• Now that your familiar with the KoalaSafe plug it in your existing router
• You will create a new wireless network at your home (for your child’s smart devices of course)
• You are now ready to set your scheduled times, block various sites not suitable for children and the best of all, get parental insights via your mobile device.

 

We already used it and it was great. My daughter had no idea that we were turning the internet off and she immediately started to say the internet is off.  We responded back “Not Again”, she ended up reading a book and even started to do some somersaults.  I was really happy. Now, my daughter is not on facebook and other social media sites yet, but just in case you can block them as well.  You can always easily manage all this via your phone, so it is pretty easy.  It retails for $99.00 and it is also available at the their site and also at amazon as well.

If you want to know more about the KoalaSafe visit their site. You can also connect with them via facebook and twitter.  This will make any parent happy to know that their child is safe while surfing the internet and also has a life beyond the internet and Minecraft games.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
