I’ve always found that platforms like PBS Kids, Khan Academy Kids, and National Geographic Kids are solid options. They usually have stricter content controls and far fewer ads (sometimes none). PBS Kids, for example, is ad-free and very focused on educational material. Khan Academy Kids is all learning, no ads. If you want a YouTube-style experience, try Kidoodle.TV or SafeTube—they’re built with stronger filtering and kid-friendly curation. What worked for me was setting up these apps and letting my kid explore, knowing the risks were way lower than on YouTube Kids.
