II. Initial Setup
Why do you need my credit card to verify my kid’s account?
To comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection
Act (COPPA), kids younger than 13 years old must have parents’
permission to join. There are only a few approved ways we can
obtain parental consent according to these regulations & the
quickest way to do that is to verify your identity using a credit
card.
G-Sensor
The G-Sensor allows the tablet to detect screen rotation. You
can view the home screen in either a landscape or portrait
format as you use the apps.
Note: Some functions in the Playtime Pad only display in
landscape format.
Note: You can add another child at any time by clicking
your child’s avatar.
Enter your child’s first name
and birthday. Tap “Create”.
You are all set!
Tap “Next”.
