I've set my child up as a family member via my iphone, but it seems to want him to have a Fitbit Ace.

I want him to use my device and just switch between the 2 users.

 

Is this possible?

Hello @martin691 and welcome to the Help forum.  I can see from your profile that you are a new user, so let me explain.  The Fitbit standard (adult) account has a web dashboard.  Fitbit was entirely web based for several years before releasing a phone app.  There are children's internet privacy laws that prevent them from having a standard account.  A child can't have a standard account for the same reason they can't have a Facebook account.  The Fitbit Ace and Family Account meet the internet privacy laws.

I'm sorry, but what you want to do isn't possible.

It also is not easy for two users to use the same tracker @martin691
