An average describes how well these videos fit an age group overall; it does not decide whether any one video can play. In WayTube that is decided video by video, at your child's exact age. Reaching 80 is a score fact, not a promise a video will be available: language, blocked channels and other profile settings also apply. 80 is WayTube's default threshold, and paid plans can set a different one for each child. WayTube scores ages 2 to 12, and ages 11–13 uses the scores for ages 11 and 12. For children aged 13 or older, the app uses the scores calculated for age 12; there is no separate assessment for teenagers.
Bob the Train's averages run from 85.2 for ages 2–4 down to 28 for ages 11–13. From age 2 to 5, at least half of the evaluated videos score 80 or more, peaking at 85% at age 3. At age 12 and older, 1% do. Its scored videos are mostly music, educational and entertainment.
Let WayTube check each video for your child
In the WayTube app you set your child's age, and each Bob the Train video's own score at that age is checked against your threshold before it can play, together with your language and channel settings. So the show is available video by video, not all or nothing.

What this assessment can and cannot tell you
These figures come from 362 videos across 2 channels that WayTube has evaluated — not necessarily everything they have published. Shorts, videos not marked as made for kids, and videos withheld after a thumbnail check are left out. Each video is evaluated with AI assistance from its title, description, tags and thumbnail; WayTube does not watch the video or listen to its audio. The scores can show how well a video's subject and level fit an age. They cannot confirm what happens in every scene, and they are not an official age classification.
How to use this as a parent
Start with your child's age in the exact-age table, then compare the channels: the same show can fit an age differently on different channels. Open a few of the videos listed above to see why each one scored as it did, and watch some yourself. In WayTube the decision is made video by video, so you do not have to allow or rule out the whole show — though you can block a channel or a character, or allow a single video, from parental controls.
