Q: Cannot Create Apple ID for Child in iOS8

I'm on the Apple Support page titled: Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids

It gives step-by-step instructions for setting up an Apple ID for a child under 13 years old - this is a new feature of iOS8 and its Family Sharing feature.

Step 4 is to enter my credit card security code, however when I actually go through the process, after step 3 I am told "A credit card is required" and that I must got to iTunes & App Store Settings to add a valid credit card to my account.  Having done that (more than once!) I still get the same message.  I'm stuck in an infinite loop! The instructions are not matching the actual process.

Has as anybody else encountered this problem? Any known fixes? Do I have to wait for 8.0.1? I have to say, with my younger children using iPads at school, I was very much looking forward to this feature!

Thanks in advance -John
