Keeping the kids entertained and out of trouble is important. With teenagers it can be especially challenging, so when the girls are busy watching television, I want to make sure that they are watching shows that are right for them. Most parents would agree, the shows kids watch need to be age appropriate, but also need to be something that the kids actually want to watch, or else it isn’t going to be worth it. When I kept hearing about Google Fiber coming to the Atlanta area, as a resident, I was interested to see what they were offering. After doing some research, I learned Google doesn’t offer features like XFINITY’s Kid’s Zone and Voice Remote, and that’s a dealbreaker for us!
Kid-Friendly XFINITY Features Parents Will Love:
Kids Zone, offered by XFINITY, includes movies, TV shows, anything we have DVRed and even On Demand choices. It gives the kids the option to watch TV independently and watch what they want, but gives the adults the chance to disable things that kids shouldn’t be watching. Kids Zone allows parents to be able to take features away like being able to purchase or rent movies, as well as, make it so that the channels can not be changed using the channel up and down buttons. While in Kids Zone, the interface is fun and is designed with kids in mine, something that is not offered by Google Fiber.
There is even a fun feature with the remote. Using Voice Remote, offered only from XFINITY, kids can spend countless hours having fun trying out their favorite movie quotes and finding shows by different topics. It is the only remote that can get the shows your kids love the most, right in front of them, just by using their voices. With the most recent update, kids can speak into the remote with phrases from the popular Cartoon Network show, Teen Titans Go! Want some silliness to go around? Try saying “banana” or “kudos!” to the remote the next time the kids are using it and hear it go into Minionese! This awesome Voice Remote feature is only available from XFINITY – the competition can’t put your shows in front of you just by speaking!
These great kid-friendly options are just a few of the reasons to stick with XFINITY for home entertainment.

I love Kids Zone. I think it’s great that XFINITY offers a place where kids can watch appropriate programming.
I am always looking for ways to entertain the Grandkids when they come visit. Kid Zone sounds like a great way for us to keep them busy without them getting into something they shouldn’t.
My son in law and daughter have Xfinity and really seem to like it. I had no idea it was so kid friendly.
We have xfinity. They charge for a lot of the older kids movies and shows which is disappointing. I didn’t know about the parental controls.
If I am going to have any type of TV programming or Streaming service, kids channels are an absolute must. I need good clean entertainment for them to watch.
My children are all grown up now, and when they were young, I made sure that the shows they were watching were all age-appropriate. I will share this post with my sister. She has young kids and she will really love this XFinity KidZone.
It is nice for XFINITY to offer something safe for kids. Entertainment for kids must be something educational and safe.
Sounds really great. Wish we had something like this where I live, or with my current provider. Sounds great.
Xfinity sounds great. I wish it was available in my area. I wil have to share this with my friends.
I have Xfinity and didn’t know about these features! It will come in handy for when my younger niece and nephew are over!
