Best For
Families with young children who want a large, safe, free streaming environment where kids can browse independently.
The main Tubi app has a dedicated Kids section, but Tubi Kids is a separate, standalone app designed entirely around the children's viewing experience. The differences matter:
Safe browsing: In Tubi Kids, every piece of content has been curated for children. There's no way for a child to accidentally navigate to adult content because adult content simply doesn't exist in the app.
Kid-friendly interface: The Tubi Kids interface uses larger images, brighter colors, and simpler navigation designed for young children. Kids can browse and select content independently without needing help from parents.
Lighter ad load: While Tubi Kids does have ads (it's free, after all), the ad experience is calibrated for children — ads are appropriate for kids and the frequency is lighter than the adult Tubi app.
Curated selection: The content team at Tubi specifically curates the Tubi Kids library to ensure everything is appropriate for children. This curation means the selection is more focused and easier to navigate than a generic kids filter.
Tubi Kids has an enormous selection of children's content across multiple categories:
Animated series: Thousands of episodes of animated TV shows for kids of all ages — from toddler-friendly shows to content for tweens. Classic cartoons, modern animated series, and everything in between.
Kids movies: A huge library of family-friendly movies including animated films, live-action family movies, and holiday specials.
Educational content: Shows that teach letters, numbers, science, history, and social skills in entertaining ways.
Classic cartoons: Beloved classic cartoons that parents grew up watching — great for family viewing together.
Adventure and action: Age-appropriate adventure series and action shows for older kids and tweens.
The library is large enough that kids will always find something new to watch, and Tubi adds new content regularly.
Set it up on a dedicated profile: If your Roku has multiple user profiles, set up Tubi Kids on your child's profile so it's easy for them to find.
Preview content first: While Tubi Kids curates for children, content ratings and what's appropriate varies by family. Preview shows you're unsure about before letting kids watch independently.
Combine with PBS KIDS: For the best free kids streaming setup, use Tubi Kids alongside PBS KIDS. PBS KIDS is completely ad-free and focuses on educational content, while Tubi Kids has a much larger entertainment library. Together they give kids an enormous variety of content.
Check the age ratings: Tubi Kids labels content by age range. Use these labels to find content appropriate for your child's specific age.
Use Roku's parental controls: Roku has built-in parental controls that can restrict access to channels and require a PIN to install new apps. Set these up in Settings → Parental Controls for an extra layer of protection.
