Setting up an iPad for a child without another apple device Hi. I've bought an iPad for my daughter's Christmas gift, and I want to set it up ahead of giving it to her. This is the only apple device we have in our household, and everything online tells me to use another apple product to create a child's apple ID and manage her settings. Is there another way I can do this? I've got my own apple ID which I can log into on browser. I haven't done anything with the iPad yet, so it is literally starting from scratch. Thanks

You will need to set it up directly on the iPad. You will not be able to create an Apple ID for the child if they are under 13 years old.

You will need to create a regular Apple ID (with a birthdate set to over 13 years old) during setup, and then set up screen time and restrictions on it directly on the iPad.
