About Toddle Video & Touch Lock
Toddle is a family-friendly video player for kids and toddlers that locks the touch screen and prevents the ability to touch or tap the screen so the child won't accidentally hit the home, back or the recent apps button. Once the touch screen is locked, your toddler or child can enjoy videos from their favorite media providers such as YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, etc, without the ability to tap or touch the screen.
The parent can double, triple, or quadruple tap the unlock icon to disable the lock on the screen. There is also an option to require a kid-proof PIN to unlock the screen and touch functionality for added security. Tap lock lets your kids watch videos without worrying about them accessing other apps or functions on your device.
Toddle comes with 4 ready-made profiles containing YouTube playlists related to age and gender. Profiles can also be created and customized freely, giving you the option to create your own playlists.

My 9mo. old flips out when I take my phone from her. But she keeps opening apps left and right. So handsy. This allows me to let her have it and keep my phone safe from her little hands. Now if you can just make an app that makes my phone drool proof!! LOL
