Hi Simfri,


Setting up a child account has to be done as the Organizer of a Family Sharing group set up. See Create an Apple ID for your child - Apple Support


Managing a Family group has to be done on Apple hardware. In theory you could borrow Apple hardware and set up Family Sharing and the account but you wouldn't be able to manage it without Apple hardware.
