Web Wheels is a browser interface designed for pre-school and elementary school aged children. It provides a simple and unsophisticated interface that allows easy access to a list of sites that have been added by the parent, and there are no other sites accessible from within the interface. Your kid can access the sites via links on the browser home page (if he/she can read) and you can also assign an image (not provided) to a link for easier reference. The only browser control provided are Forward, Backward and Home - and unfortunately also a prominent EXIT button, which allows the kid to easily close the program and do other things on the desktop. Overall, the program is based on a good concept and gets the job done (to a certain degree) but shows obvious shortcomings in technical and aesthetic aspects.
