The Mom's Choice Awards Names the Bark Phone for Kids Among the Best in Family-Friendly Products

"We are exceptionally proud to receive the Mom's Choice Awards Honoring Excellence Seal of Approval," states Titania Jordan, Chief Parent and Marketing Officer at Bark. "The MCA is renowned for guiding families toward the finest products and services, making this recognition especially meaningful. At Bark, we are committed to setting the standard in safeguarding children both online and offline, and it's an honor to be acknowledged as a leader in this vital field."

To be considered for an award, each entrant submits five identical samples for testing. Entries are matched to evaluators in the MCA database. Evaluators are bound by a strict code of ethics not only to ensure objectivity, but also to ensure that the evaluation is free from manufacturer influence. The five evaluations are submitted to the MCA Executive Committee for final review and approval.

Combining the best of advanced content monitoring with location tracking and other top parent-requested features, the Bark Phone is a fully customizable Samsung device that also includes built-in features (able to be managed remotely on the parent's device) such as:

• Alerts for potential dangers like bullying, depression, and online predation
• Real-time GPS location tracking
• App & web blocking
• App download permissions
• Contact approvals
• Texts that can't be deleted without permission
• Phone locking
• Tamper-proof parental controls

"Our aim is to introduce families and educators to best-in-class products and services," explains Dawn Matheson, executive director of the Mom's Choice Awards. "We have a passion to help families grow emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Parents and educators know that products and services bearing our seal of approval are high-quality and also a great value. The MCA evaluation program is designed to incorporate the expertise of scientists, physicians and other specialists; but we also engage parents, children, educators, and caregivers because they are experts in knowing what is best for their families."
