More than 4 kids - how can i set up device

[Ocommane]

Hi,  i have to set up a kids device via Google family link for a child. This is my fifth kid so Google won't let me add another child. Can i set up a kids device avoiding Google family?

Welcome to the forums @Ocommane. 

Thank you for reaching out with your question about adding another child to your Family account.

I regret to inform you that it's not possible to set up an additional child device without it being linked to the family account.

So what do you do if there are more people in your family than Google allow in a family account? We have 8 in our family.

I have now set u two new emails to create an account but now he needs his own phone to login? This is the most terrible user experience for setting up a child's product. I am going to have to wipe an old android phone and set it up as his device for him to use so he can use a watch? Honestly you should make it clear when selling this produce it is not for people with more than four kids or who don't want their younger children to have a device. I'm not even convinced it will allow me to set up an android phone for a child
