Verified: Last checked on 5 October 2026 against Netflix Help for Kids profiles, maturity ratings and Profile Lock PINs. Some Kids maturity edits need a web browser. Checked against Netflix's written instructions, not every TV app.
⏱ Time: 10–20 minutes | 🔧 Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need
- Netflix account password (and email/phone for codes)
- A 4-digit PIN children don't know
- Phone/tablet and ideally a web browser
Step-by-step
- Add a Kids profile via Manage Profiles / Add Profile and select For Kids.
[Screenshot: Kids profile create] - Set maturity ratings (Kids profile edits: use the website). Block individual titles if needed.
- PIN-lock every adult profile with Profile Lock.
- On the main profile, enable Require PIN to add new profiles.
- Turn off autoplay previews on kids' profiles; check viewing history occasionally.
- Test Kids catalogue, adult PIN prompt, and add-profile PIN.
⚠️ Watch out
- Without PINs, kids open adult profiles in one click.
- Extra member profiles may not support Profile Lock.
- Use the website if the app won't edit Kids maturity.
