none of these platforms are designed for children to interact with. why would you leave your child alone with them?

Prime Video

Prime Video can be safe for children if parental controls are set up correctly, using dedicated Kids Profiles, PINs, and purchase restrictions to filter mature content, but parents must actively manage settings as default options and recommendations can still expose kids to unsuitable material, notes.

YouTube

YouTube's safety for children varies: the separate YouTube Kids app offers strong parental controls and age-based filters, but isn't foolproof; the main YouTube platform has supervised experiences for older kids/tweens, but requires active management with tools like Restricted Mode, parental supervision via Family Link, and content blocking/reporting to mitigate risks like inappropriate content, ads, and potential predator interaction, with the core risk being algorithm gaps letting mature content slip through. 

Disney+

Disney+ is generally safe for kids due to robust parental controls like Junior Mode (ad-free, limited content), profile PINs, and age-rating settings, but parents must actively use them because the platform now includes mature content from Marvel, Star Wars, and Hulu, requiring them to set restrictions to block R-rated or TV-MA shows and manage content access for different age groups. 

Netflix

Netflix safety for kids depends heavily on using built-in parental controls, like dedicated Kids profiles (which filter to U/PG ratings, block games, and restrict titles) and viewing restrictions, as shared adult accounts easily expose children to inappropriate content (violence, sex, strong language). With proper setup, Netflix offers safe, age-appropriate entertainment, but without controls, it poses risks of accessing mature content and excessive screen time
