To create a child account you need, due to child online privacy laws, either : Payment methods you can use in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support


To create an account for a child under 13* in Family Sharing, you can only use the following payment methods:

  • Credit cards
  • China UnionPay
  • A post-paid mobile phone billing account

After you create the child’s Apple ID, you can change your payment method to a different method, such as a debit card, China UnionPay debit card, or a pre-paid mobile phone billing account.


A debit card is not an acceptable payment method
