The 5-Minute Safety Setup
Follow these essential steps to protect your child on Roblox. Each step includes detailed instructions you can expand.
Before You Begin
Use your child's REAL birthdate for automatic safety protections.
If Creating a New Account:
- • Go to roblox.com and click "Sign Up"
- • Enter your child's REAL birthday - this is critical for safety features
- • Create a username that doesn't reveal real name
- • Use a password you can remember (you'll need it)
- • Add YOUR email address for recovery
If Using Existing Account:
- • Log into your child's account
- • Verify the birthday is correct in Settings → Account Info
- • If birthday is wrong, contact Roblox Support to correct it
Never Lie About Age
Create your own account and link it to manage settings remotely.
- 1Create your own Roblox account at roblox.com (use your real adult age)
- 2On your child's account, go to:SettingsParental ControlsAdd Parents
- 3Complete age verification (requires ID or credit card)
- 4Accept the link request from your parent account
Why Link Accounts?
Create a 4-digit PIN to lock all safety settings.
The Parent PIN prevents your child from changing safety settings. Without it, they could disable the protections you set up.
- 1. Toggle "Account PIN" to ON
- 2. Enter a 4-digit PIN
- 3. Confirm the PIN
- 4. Enable "Require PIN for Settings"
Keep Your PIN Secret
- • Don't use obvious numbers (1234, birthday)
- • Never share the PIN with your child
- • Write it down somewhere safe (not on your device)
Turn off all communication features to protect from strangers.
This is the most important safety setting. Disabling chat prevents strangers from contacting your child.
Set ALL of these to OFF or "No one":
- Experience Chat → OFF
- Experience Direct Chat → OFF
- Party → No one
- Group Party → No one
Limit games to age-appropriate content only.
Recommended Settings by Age:
- Ages 5-8: Set slider to "Minimal" (most restrictive)
- Ages 9-12: Set slider to "Mild" with parent review
Automatic Protections
Set daily time limits and allowed playing hours.
Recommended Daily Limits:
- Ages 5-7: 30-45 minutes
- Ages 8-10: 45-60 minutes
- Ages 11-12: 60-90 minutes
- 1. Toggle "Daily Limit" ON
- 2. Set your desired time limit
- 3. Optionally set "Allowed Hours" (e.g., 3pm-7pm)
- 4. Enable notifications when limit approaches
Prevent unauthorized purchases and control Robux spending.
Essential Spending Settings:
- • Set monthly limit to $0 (or your preferred amount)
- • Enable notifications for ALL transactions
- • Remove any saved payment methods from child's account
