Please note that Netflix is constantly updating their program, so some of the following suggestions may not be available.
We all know that travel with kids can be difficult and involve lots of planning. One thing I never forget to do is find some great Netflix kids shows to download to make travel with kids easier. Oh my gosh, downloading some awesome Netflix kids shows is a simple way to get kids from one place to another without drama and stress.
As you know, I’m fortunate to be a Netflix Stream Team member for Australia. It’s a honour, really. I love Netflix for so many reasons, especially that I can take it with us when we go away from home and there is always something for my girls to watch.
Netflix kids shows to download to make travel with kids easier
Here are some television shows that I would recommend downloading for your child if you’re traveling and want to make your trip as seamless as possible. They are all engaging, not too long (so they can enjoy variety) and the characters are full of educational value and more.

Hi Andrea. Thanks for your message. This post is from 2017, so unfortunately there are some shows that are not still featuring. Thanks for pointing out how this could be an inconvenience to those who see this post. I’ll add it to my list of things to update.
