If you want to get your kids doing the Fitbit thing, you probably want to get them a Fitbit Ace, which is a tracker designed for kids. However, to set up the Ace, you first need to create a family account, which is a special subset of your Fitbit friends that has only family members.How to create a family account
Run through the following steps to get a family account set up in the Fitbit app:- Select Dashboard→Account to open the Account screen.
- Select Create Family Account. The app displays an overview of the family account.
- Select Create Family. The app creates a new family for you and sets you up as the main guardian.
How to add a family guardian
Before you can invite a friend to be a guardian, that person must make their birthday info available so that Fitbit can make sure the person is at least 18 years old. So, your first chore is to ask all the people who you want to invite to be guardians to make their birthday available to their Fitbit friends. Here are the steps each person needs to follow:- In the Fitbit app, select Dashboard→Account.
- Select Privacy.
- Select Birthday.
- Select the Friends radio button. Fitbit now makes the person’s birthday info visible to friends only.
With that out of the way, to invite one of your Fitbit friends to be a family guardian (which also adds that person to your family account), follow these steps in the Fitbit app:
- Select Dashboard→Account.
You need to use the Fitbit app here because there’s no way to invite a friend to be a guardian online by using Fitbit.com.
- Select My Family. The app displays the My Family screen.
- Select Add Guardians. In the Android app, first tap the Add icon (+) and then tap Add Guardians.
- Select the Invite icon beside the person you want to invite to be a guardian. The app sends the invitation to the friend.
How to invite others to the family account
Want to invite an adult family member to join your family account, but you don’t want the person to be a guardian? Follow these steps to invite that person:- Select Dashboard→Account.
You need to use the Fitbit app because there’s no way to invite people to join your family account online by using Fitbit.com.
- Select My Family. The app displays the My Family screen.
- Select Invite Members. In the Android app, first tap the Add icon (+) and then tap Invite Members.
- Select the Invite icon beside the person you want to invite to join your family account. The app sends the invitation to the friend.
How to handle a family invitation
When a family invitation request comes in through Fitbit, one of the following occurs:- Android or Windows 10: You see a notification onscreen. Select View to open the invitation.
- iOS: You see a badge on the Fitbit app’s Notifications icon. Tap Notifications, tap Messages if it isn’t already displayed, and then tap the invitation.
How to create a child account
Creating a child account means both setting up an account on Fitbit and pairing an Ace tracker with the Android, iOS, or Windows 10 device the child will use to run a scaled-down version of the Fitbit app. Here’s how it works:- On the device your child will use to run the Fitbit app, install the Fitbit app, and then use the app to log in to your Fitbit account.
- Select Dashboard→Account.
You need to use the Fitbit app because you can’t create a child account online by using Fitbit.com.
- Select My Family. The app displays the My Family screen.
- Select Create Child Account. In the Android app, first tap the Add icon (+) and then tap Create Child Account. The app prompts you for your Fitbit account password.
- Enter your Fitbit password, and then select Confirm. The Fitbit app displays some privacy info.
- Select Next, and then select I Agree. The Add Child screen appears. The iOS version is shown in the following figure.
The iOS version of the Add Child screen.
- Fill in the child’s info, and the select Next.
If you have an eyebrow raised because Fitbit want to know your child’s gender, birthday, and height, know that this information is visible only to you, to any other guardian in your family account, and to the child.
Fitbit prompts you to pair the device with your child’s Ace. Make sure the Ace is nearby (within about 33 feet) before proceeding. - Select Pair with This Device. When Fitbit asks you to confirm, select Yes. The Fitbit app switches to Kid View, which is the scaled-down app interface that your child will use.
- Select Set Up a Kid-Compatible Tracker, and then select Ace.
- Select Set Up Ace for Name, where Name is your child’s name. Fitbit displays its terms and policies legal stuff.
- Read (wink, wink) the terms and policies, and then select I Agree. Fitbit displays several introductory screens for the Ace tracker.
- Select Next on each screen until the Fitbit app locates the Ace tracker. Fitbit displays a four-digit number on the Ace display.
- In the Fitbit app, enter the four-digit number to pair the device to the Ace. If you see a screen telling you that an update is available for the tracker, select Update Ace.
- Follow the onscreen introduction to the Ace tracker by selecting Next on each screen that appears. When the introduction is complete, the app displays the Dashboard in Kid View.
On your child’s device, if you want full access to all Fitbit app features and settings, you need to switch to Parent View. Select Dashboard→Account→Switch to Parent View. When the app asks you to confirm, select Switch to Parent View, enter your Fitbit password, and then select Confirm. To return to Kid View, select Dashboard→Account→My Family, select the child’s account in the Children section, and then select Switch to Kid View.
If you need to delete a child account, select Dashboard→Account→My Family to display your family members. In the Android app, tap and hold down on the child’s name, and then tap Remove; in the iOS app, swipe left on the child’s name, and then tap Remove; in the Windows 10 app, tap the Edit icon (pencil) and then select the Remove icon (X) next to the child’s account. In all versions of the app, you now select Delete Child Account & Data, enter your Fitbit password, and then select Confirm.

How to set up a Fitbit family account
With Fitbit now selling a device specifically made for kids — the Fitbit Ace — privacy concerns are only natural. Creating a standard Fitbit account for your child and adding friends opens them up to the broader social aspects of Fitbit's services, as well as random friend requests.
Now playing: Watch this: Unboxing the Fitbit Versa

Enter Fitbit's new Family Account feature, designed specifically to keep your child's account private and secure. The process of setting up the Fitbit Ace ($130 at Amazon) and creating a Fitbit family account is easy, once you realize one important aspect: It's all based on your Fitbit account.
Use your child's account/device
When I initially set up my family account, I made the mistake of using my device to create an account for each of my children. I assumed I would create a username and password, which I could then use to log into the Fitbit app on their devices. I was wrong, mainly because I didn't follow the instructions.
Instead, what you need to do is install the Fitbit app on the device your child will use to sync their Fitbit Ace with, then log into your Fitbit account.
Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNETNext, tap on the account card and select Create Family Account. Follow the prompts, then return to the account page and select My Family > tap the "+" icon > Create Child account. Enter your account password and then accept the privacy terms and conditions. Follow the prompts to complete the rest of the process, which includes entering your child's name, creating a username, age and height.
After the account is created, you can pair the Ace to your child's device. At some point during the process, the app will ask you to hand the device to your child for him or her to complete the setup process.
If you didn't follow instructions
Screenshot by Jason Cipriani/CNETAnd you create your child's account on your device, don't worry — you can still use that account on your child's device.
On your child's device, install the Fitbit app and sign into your Fitbit account. Then tap on the profile card > My Family followed the name of your child in the list of accounts linked to your family.
On the account's information screen is an option to Switch to Kid View; tap it, and then enter your account password. Easy enough, right?
