Keep Children Safe Online with Chatman

With children being exposed to social media outlets and needing/wanting to be online playing games etc., keeping children safe online is a priority.  My hubby and I really wanted to make sure that we knew what my 9 year old step-son T-Boy would be exposed to and prevent anything inappropriate.  I have seen different software to keep children safe online that you can install on our computer. When I was given the opportunity to review Chatman, I knew that it would be a hit with T-boy!  He is really into cool and fun electronic toys and that is exactly what Chatman is.

My Chatman Review

When T-Boy first saw Chatman, he was very intrigued and begged me to open it up right away!  Once I installed the software, and plugged in the USB the setup was done and Chatman was ready to go.  I love that it does not require any batteries, finally a toy that doesn’t!!  🙂

While I did enjoy letting T-Boy enjoy Chatman, I was still a little curious about how it would keep children safe online. In the end, I felt safe letting T-Boy be on his own while searching the internet for games and other things for school projects. I think that it is a great concept for kids to feel like Chatman is a game/toy while giving parents the sense of security.

T-boy loves to interact with Chatman!

I am not sure how much T-boy will use it for school projects and homework but it is great for games and interacting with friends. I think that Chatman would be a great fit for kids ages 6-12. We have only been using Chatman for a week but I think it is a great new friend for our home.  I am sure that with time we will find even more fun things Chatman can do!!

Here is a video of T-boy and his cousin enjoying playing games with Chatman.
