Hi, I would say that it would depend a bit on what they like.
Both have a good list of movies they can watch.
The diff really is that Garuda has their screens in the back of
the chair in front of you (economy) or swing out screens from the
arm rest (biz class) - these simple games you can play using a hand
piece / controller, or choose the movie or other programs to watch
(and music).
Jetstar has portable screens ... which you have to have your tray
table down to sit it on, and they just have various programs and
movies to watch - no simple games.
I tend to like the Garuda a bit better .... you don't need the table
down, thus you have a bit more room - you don't feel so hemmed in.
Both airlines will offer a kids pack, which can keep them happy
even for a short while (I'm not sure what they have in them these
days, we have kids packs on our tours and transfers which keeps
them happy for a while, and at the same time teach them some simple
words in Bahasa ... all good fun stuff :)
