Our kids don’t have to be another internet statistic.

Bumpers takes a new approach to helping parents raise an online generation.

Kids don’t need to go looking for harmful info... It will find them.

  • Watching a fun, family friendly video with your kids and an inappropriate ad pops up

  • Finishing a video and the suggested content is not what you want them watching

  • Forgetting to turn parental settings back on after allowing access for a specific activity

Protecting my kids is my job. I had to find a better way.

John Critz: Father of 9 and Founder of Bumpers

I’ve been an app developer for over 16 years. I’ve sat in the boardrooms of online companies. I know their endgame: Addiction. Control. Influence.

But as parents, we are an unstoppable force. We will not give up. We will find a way to give our kids the education and opportunity of an online generation while protecting them from the dangers.

When you care enough, there is always a better way.

68% of tweens and 91% of teens encountered nudity or content of a sexual nature.

Feeling stuck in an “all or nothing” world online?

Do you find it difficult to balance the need to shield your kids from inappropriate content without stifling their curiosity and learning? 

Other parental control apps leave gaps, especially with popular platforms like YouTube that offer all or nothing access.

If you feel like other tools aren’t solving the problems we currently face, you’ve come to the right place.
