I know several parents that ban YouTube or nervously monitor their children's viewing consumption because it hosts a lot of inappropriate content for kids. This is a logical step.
This is great for my kids, but more for me. My kids constantly share videos on youtube to my facebook and twitter, and my "what to watch" is constantly kids shows.
This is a no-brainer. Really great for us parents!

This is wonderful! Youtube is such a great platform for kids just like it is for others. I had looked for a product like this a couple of years ago. Going to definitely be trying it out.
Can't wait to check this out. Our 4-year-old loves certain things on youtube but is only a click away from inappropriate content at any given time -- and given her age, "inappropriate" covers a lot.
The language youtube is using suggests you'll still have access to a lot of the content on youtube: "Now, parents can rest a little easier knowing that videos in the YouTube Kids app are narrowed down to content appropriate for kids."
There are still different age brackets of kids and very likely content that's outside their curation filters that my kid will want to see, so I'll look forward to seeing if they get this right -- but it's a great directional move.
Crowd curation would be cool here too at some point.

Such a good idea. It's way too easy for kids to wander from G-rated stuff to totally inappropriate.
