Weemote / Weemote2
Though the modern tyke might very well have a better handle on the remote control that a parent, kids also have a habit of just mashing buttons until the desired effect manifests. Fobis Technologies' Weemote not only simplifies kiddie couch surfing, it throws in some parental controls as well. Nice.

While it is generally accepted that television is bad for kids -- about as healthy for the mind as chocolate covered sugar pops are for the body -- there's no denying that TV is hands down the best, cheapest, brainless baby-sitter going.

Now you can empower your young children with control over their own brain-drain with Fobis Technologies’ Weemote or Weemote 2, tot-tailored universal remote controls for most TVs, VCRs, Cable Boxes and Satellite Receivers.

With a cute, kid-friendly design, a Weemote is adult programmable (some assistance may be require; ask your kids) through a keypad secreted away within the housing. On the surface, it offers rudimentary control of on/off, volume and mute (which can be disabled entirely) and five uniquely shaped and colored buttons for favorite channels -- with up to five more, ten total, accessible through the channel-surf button.

It offers parents piece-of-mind as an appropriately programmed weemote will only give access to kids’ stations (or the A/V line-in, for that matter), bypassing the likes of SexTV, GunTV, WarTV, BlatherTV and the other two hundred and seventeen channels that make up the SH*TNetwork.
