I tried YouTube Kids a few years ago, the experience was not great - content isn't pre-screened, so weird stuff can slip through the cracks. It's also obviously not being maintained with a sincere attempt to solve the problems that parents actually have - for example, as your kid gets older and they get a google account, they can't sign in to YouTube Kids, you have to sign in with an Adult account, but then that account is on their iPad and available to any other Google apps they have installed. Parental restrictions on Google accounts also don't let you easily limit a child's account to an allowlist of approved channels. I would love to let my kids use their daily screen time to learn/enjoy a mix of channels my wife and I have vetted, but it's excruciatingly difficult to actually do this, to the point that I've given up trying.

ach has ended up being that when the kids ask to watch a youtube video about something, we send them a link to a video via iMessage - watching the video in the Messages app shows just the video, no comments, no "suggested" videos, and it's sufficiently high friction to get us to do it that they don't ask very often. My next experiment will be using https://github.com/Tzahi12345/YoutubeDL-Material to download videos from our allowlisted channels, but I super resent that I'm having to engineer solutions to Google's disinterest.
