The Internet can be a nightmare for parents — especially for parents with small children. Making the Internet a healthy, appropriate, and fun place for pre-schoolers, the Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad helps connect kids directly to the official Web sites of their favorite characters. Designed for children ages three and up, this launch pad is easy to use and safe for your kids — and the family computer!

The launch pad lets you keep your child from visiting inappropriate and unsafe sites.

Kids just plug in a smart key to automatically launch the games and activities.

Familiar Friends
The Easy Link Launch Pad includes three popular child-safe and durable plastic figures — Elmo from Sesame Street, two dinosaurs from The Wiggles, and a Fisher-Price dog. Each character works as a direct key to its own Web site. When Elmo is plugged into the launch pad, children are immediately transported to the games section of SesameStreet.com. Eight other familiar Easy Link character smart keys are available for purchase separately.

Peace of Mind
Because the Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad blocks access to other Internet sites, links, and pop-ups, kids can connect to these interactive Web sites all by themselves, without you having to worry that they’re visiting other innappropriate or unsafe sites. The only way for your child to navigate to another Web site is by inserting a different Easy Link character. To get back to normal computer use, you simply input a password and the the Easy Link program turns off. Parents can also rest assured that their computer is secure, as the launch pad also blocks access to your desktop and hard drive.

Super Simple
Kids easily learn to play games on their favorite Web sites using the computer’s mouse and arrow keys on the launch pad. Setting up the Easy Link system is easy. Simply connect the launch pad to the computer’s USB port and install the software from the included CD-ROM. Not compatible with Mac computers, the Easy Link Internet Launch Pad requires Microsoft Windows XP, 2000, or Vista; a 750 MHz processor; a USB 1.1 port, 128 MB of RAM, and an Internet connection.

What’s in the Box
Easy Link Internet Launch Pad, CD-ROM software, USB cable, and three character smart keys.

Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad User Review

My two girls have had this for 4 months now and still love the games. The game “plugs” are easy to insert and you don’t have to worry about delicate parts being broken. The games are easy to understand and are very consistent on format. This game has taught my 3 y/o how to effectively move a mouse where she wants it to go. I do love the fact that it doesn’t allow any wandering to other sites or tabs like nickjr so I am not every 5 minutes correcting an accidental wandering or advertisement. I like the Elmo game with old school videos included to the games so my girls are singing old sesame street counting songs(it brings back my own memories!) Both girls love to play the game on the puppy where you create a girl’s hairdo and makeup and jewelry. My mother got this present and I find it is worth its weight in gold. Ps…. it for sure teaches how to “take turns”-buzzer required!
