But with Pinwheel, your child can enjoy all of the support, with none of the distractions.

With less than a year of being on the market, the public is embracing Pinwheel's concept of a smartphone designed for kids.

As your child steps out of their elementary school building for the last time in their lives, they officially become a rising middle school student. The transition to middle school might seem daunting to some children: they need to find their classes in a new building, meet all new teachers, and in some schools, walk the halls with peers the size of adults.
