If I were building the feature, I'd put the "adult" header behind a password.

But that's a solution only for the one browser. You'd need to forbid the OS account in use from installing new apps so the kid can't get a different browser. And now it's starting to be inconvenient for the parent.

And lock down the computer so it can't use a bootdisk, lock out programs that can be used to circumvent locks like steam, browser plug-ins, and other VM stuff....
