Just get a small PC or an RPi or something and bypass the "smart" TV environment entirely! A wireless mouse, and sometimes a wireless keyboard was all I needed to make mine work
I have a pi and i also have had a pc to a tv setup. They have there purposes, but having a dedicated device thats semi cheap for a tv so the kids can easily navigate using a remote to play videos is more ideal and practicul. My main tv for me is a tv connected one and i mainly use kodi through it. Never used a pi for this type of setup, but i have a few for other things that are stand alone with no screens.
For the Pi-curious, I recommend LibreELEC. It's "just enough Linux OS to run Kodi" and uses a Kodi plugin to manage said OS. It can be locked into kiosk mode with just the kids' shows and unlocked for full access.
