Forerunner 55 for Kids (10)

My son (10) will get a forerunner55 for christmas. we dont want a watch which has games on it. so we just want activity tracking during running / soccer and a long battery life. the forerunner 55 cant be integrated into "garmin connect jr. app". is there a way to integrate it into the garmin connect without cheating about his real age

(garmin connect doesnt accept his real birthday).

many thanks

regards

No. Garmin is required by law to follow COPPA rules.

This rule regarding age comes from the COPPA act. It was written specifically for Internet marketers that operate Web sites visited by children under the age of 13 and collect personal information from those kids. Its purpose is to regulate that collection. Here is a link with this information regarding the act. We still do care very much for your feedback regarding your experience as others have asked this as well. The link from the FTC is below:
