Fitbits for kids w/o accounts

[yuvismahi2]

Hi there,

All 3 of my kids have received fitbits for their birthdays this year and I need to set them up.

However, I really don't want to have to sign up for an account for each of their devices.

Is it possible to use the fitbit *without* a registered account with them? I just want my kids to be able to see their heart rates and track their steps per day. Never sync, never sign up for anything, never register an email address (they don't even have email addresses yet).

Any help or tips or is this straight up not possible? I have searched around and can't find the definitive answer.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Fitbit Community, @yuvismahi2.

I am glad to hear your kids received Fitbits for their birthdays. Let me assist you with your concern about using the trackers without connecting them to an account. I would like to advise that in order for you to see an accurate activity data of your kids, the trackers should be paired and syncing. Your kids don't need their own email addresses, you can create one Fitbit family account, add several child accounts and set up the trackers. For steps to set up the trackers, see How do I set up Ace or Ace 2 for my child? 

Follow the steps to add more child accounts at How do I add more child accounts to my Fitbit family account? 

I would like to mention that Fitbit kids devices don't track heart rate. For more information, see How do I get started with Fitbit kids devices?

I'll be around if you have any additional questions.
