Safe Videos on the Go + A Giveaway!

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. Please see policies for more information.


We have a lot to protect our kids from in the digital age. Commercials, age inappropriate content, time limits etc. I am always looking for new ways to improve my boys’ (and my) experience with digital devices while still keeping them safe from content I don’t want them seeing.

We were recently introduced to Kidoodle.TV and we are so impressed! Kidoodle.TV is a safe, ad-free streaming video service that you can customize for your kids. You can set content for each individual kid (up to 5) by show or age and even set time limits so you don’t have to monitor that. At first we weren’t sure they’d have enough content for my older boys (9 and 11) but they loved all the National Geographic videos and other science based programing as well as the Family Game Night videos.

What they really loved was watching Inspector Gadget since it was a show I talked about watching as a kid. It is SO fun to find some of those shows to share with them (Jem and the Holograms anyone?!)

It really came in handy when we had dinner at a kid free house the other night. They had tons to watch without needing to ask to use other’s equipment. We brought our family iPad and iPhones and they were set along with a football and some other toys for breaks.

I didn’t realize how many ads they are exposed to on a daily basis until they were watching Kidoodle.TV and they mentioned how quick it was to watch and change shows (they didn’t have to wait to be able to skip ads). There was plenty of content for both of them to choose from and with the ability to personalize their profiles with the shows they want to watch, they each felt like they had their own TV channel. 

I feel like Kidoodle.TV is one of those services you didn’t know you wanted until you had it and then you wondered why you didn’t get it sooner! Definitely handy in long allergist office waits. Not that we’d know about that or anything (our longest wait was an hour and a half).

Kidoodle.TV has a fun giveaway going on on their Facebook page. Enter here to win one of 3 iPad Minis being given away in March and April.

  1. My kiddo watches shows and plays games via the computer. He owns a leapster that he would wear out if I replaced the batteries constantly!

    My older children have their own tablets. My younger ones use mine to play educational games on!

  3. My kiddos have their own devices but we also have a shared family computer 🙂

    My 10 year old got a tablet for Christmas from grandma. Its great! For games. I find it very hard to find educational apps for kids. Some times it is so hard to get him off Mindcraft. I would give him a little extra time if he were learning something.

  5. My child uses my laptop, and she has her own iPad mini that she bought with her own money.

  6. We share in our house, The kids don't have their own devices.

    I've never believed that everyone has to have
    their very own everything.

    It's enough that we have enough to go around.

  7. My kids use my ipad for videos and games in an allotted time. They also use my phone.

    My kids share a Kindle and our laptop with us with password protection.

  9. My kids all have an iPod touch that they use a lot. They also have a Kindle that they share.

  10. My kids use a desktop PC for games and homework.

  11. 14 and 8 year old have their own Apple device laptop and ipad mini and 3 year old shares ipad with dad

  12. My niece (I don't have kids) owns her own iPad but our family only lets her use it to play educational games. We also limit her time with it to one hour a day if she does all her chores. She shares it with the rest of the family.

    Our oldest uses an iPad and our youngest has an iPod Touch. They don't share.

  14. My nephew uses his own Kindle Fire for reading and playing games. He shares a family computer and a Wii.

  15. My oldest daughter has a phone and my youngest has an ipod touch. They do not share, my oldest would have a cow if they had to. Thank you!

  16. My daughter has a Leapfrog Leappad and I find it to be very educational for her.

    my daughter uses her ipod and my son uses an ipad that is supposed to be the whole family's but he is really the only one who uses it

  18. My kids are grown, but I've watched my 2yo granddaughter go from daddy's phone, to mommy's to the ipad. They do limit her time, but it doesn't please her!
