How do I add or remove websites from the KidiBuzz™ Web Browser?
The KidiBuzz™ Web Browser allows access only to pre-approved sites. Although VTech makes every effort to create a kid-friendly browsing experience, Vtech does not maintain these third-party sites, so enabling the Web Browser could allow your child to access content that is not intended for children.
You can customize the sites your child is allowed to visit by adding sites of your own or blocking sites from the VTech Approved Content list. Follow these steps to customize your child's site list.

If you want to add a new website to your child's approved list, touch the "My Added Sites" tab. Then touch the "Add Website" button.
Enter the URL of the site you want to add on the next page. Touch the "Add URL" button when you're done.
A message will appear asking if you want to grant access to the entire site or just to the specific page you entered.
If you grant access to the entire site, your child will be able to access all pages within that domain. For example, if you add a link to an article about volcanoes from Discovery Kids and choose "Limited Access", your child will only have access to that article. If you allow your child full access, they will be able to view all content from the Discovery Kids site.
