Youtube for kids?

Just a quick question not necessarily for me but my brother in law who is 4 and has really taken to the family ipad watching youtube videos. The only reason for this post is to find a way to restrict the content being played on the ipad. I know that there is youtube for kids in the US and certain modifications on android but nothing that I know of for UK apple products. Obviously we don't want to remove the app entirely because the majority of the time he watches nursery rhymes and kids toy's...
Any help is appreciated!

i don't think so. Access so social media (freely) should not be given to kids. Remember You-tube have all kind of videos on it.

I think you can only restrict by adding a passcode to the tablet, not content being played after accessing...

Thanks for the replies guys but he is basically watched all the time on the ipad and we are constantly making sure he isn't on inappropriate content for his age, I just wondered if there was another measure that could be taken without stopping him enjoying his nursery rhymes aha but it appears there is not...

Settings>restricted content

That's as far as filtering goes on the app at least.

Closest thing is make a youtube account, keep it signed into that and set age restrictions on that youtube account I think? That wont stop him from seeing the porn people uploaded with teletubies as the title though...

Just download the youtube kids application from the app store for your device and make them use this instead - its better for locking down access.

If any one is blocking it, PC or tablet, how are you blocking it. From the router, or just in restricted apps in the browser.

I've never tried any of the restriction features on YouTube but I cant imagine they would work very effectively. I'd just limit access to the ipad; a 4 year old should probably be playing with toys.

There is no way to block specific content on youtube, unfortunately. Only to educate the kid, and watch him carefully.. I know it doesn't help much but this is the reality. Either block the entire youtube or let it be as it is...

Toddler Tube download the app on itunes.

Really surprised there is no Youtube Kids app for Android

Who is your ISP, most ISPs now have restricted content filters (I know BT do) and i t works better that just the restricted content option on youtube and as a father of a 4 and 7 year old you really do want to be filtering the internet, the advert on you tube click accidentally can quickly move children out of safer spaces.

We have 2 girls aged 5 and 4. The both have Hudls. We listen to what they are doing but are generally pretty good as long as you start them off with a kids video. Element of trust and element of keeping a (little bit) of an eye out.

You could use the youtube for kids app.

We have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and as long as you start them off on kids programmes, they are very good. I dont think they have ever strayed in the last year of them messing around when they want to.

Obviously, keep an ear open on what they are doing too.

Its the in app stuff that tends to catch us. We had some free games, an unrooted tablet. One click from an advert off to a chinese site, downloading apks. Icons all over the home screen.

Wiped the table tot be safe....all in a matter of seconds.

Locked the apps now with a pin and installed the Amazon App store. The underground apps are all free and I dont recall and advertising or in app purchases.

Parents should limit their kids in using ipad especially watching too much videos on youtube. Kids who are expose on youtube are so naughty. I think it is due to many cartoon videos that they usually watched. Kids tend to mimic what they saw so too much youtube is not healthy for them.

The comment section in youtube really lets it down. Doesn't take long for comments to turn into massive arguments with very questionable language.

I think Ellen released a family friendly youtube site.

Really? :/

There is now a YouTube Kids app on Google Play. I noticed it this morning when I was scrolling through for another Cars video

And if I'd read the thread first, I'd have seen that. It's called YT Kids, bTW.

Well for 4 yrs old, you can always try cartoons for kids. My kids used to love cartoon so much. Later on they moved on to Justice leagues heros fighting crimes cartoon. But as they grow up more and got into highschool, they thought that cartoons are for little kids and they start browsing online learn sites for example **snip **as they want to get good at maths in school.

Hi everyone, I'm new here, I also have a kid who constantly watches YouTubeKids on Smart TV. But when he watches YouTube on an iPhone I have to follow this:undecided

try searching for some parental control tools. I know that Kaspersky has some features that can help you manage the apps that your kid uses

I made a huge mistake whem allowed to my son to watch You Tube

YouTube it is not place for kids, there are a lot of weird videos that they don't need to see
