Sometimes, parental controls aren’t enough. If you want to be sure that your kids are watching appropriate content on TV, the iMote can help. It’s the only remote control that is safe enough for preschoolers. The remote is programmable with up to 5 of your child’s 5 favorite TV channels, which you ofcourse deem appropriate.
