The Easy Link Internet Launchpad is a pretty useful thing for parents to have. Especially parents who have adventureous preschoolers who love to explore mom's and dad's computers. It's a scary thought that while clicking randomly on a webpage, little kids may come across something that they shouldn't be seeing!

To the rescue comes the Easy Link Internet Launchpad from Fisher-Price. Fisher-Price's handy little device can be used to limit access to a select few sites which are preschooler appropriate. The Easy Link Internet Launchpad simply plugs into your computer's USB port. Cute little figurines of characters like Elmo, Wiggles etc can be plugged into their spots on the launchpad. The computer will only display the pages on the associated website. For example, if you plug in Elmo, the website your child can surf will be sesamestreet.org.

The Easy Link Internet Launchpad is available at Target for a MSRP of $29.99.
