Currently, my son uses a CashApp Kids card to get snacks from his school&#8217;s vending machines, and for the occasional time he&#8217;s out with friends. It works pretty well, and the only real worry is that he loses the card. (That&#8217;s why I keep a very small amount on it, only what he&#8217;ll need for that day.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-gps-trackers-and-devices-for-kids\/\">The best GPS trackers for kids: Expert recommended<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We decided to give the Google Wallet version a test run last weekend, and now my son doesn&#8217;t want to go back.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed after setting up the account was that it works almost exactly like the CashApp. I can transfer money to my son&#8217;s account in just a few seconds, set transaction limits, track transactions in real time, and lock the balance at any time.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing my son noticed was that it&#8217;s one less thing for him to carry and keep track of.<\/p>\n<p>Over several stores and vending machines, the app worked perfectly. My son was able to spend his money with no trouble, and I received notifications on my device immediately listing the merchant and amount. Just to test things, he tried using his card less than 10 seconds after I locked it, and the purchase didn&#8217;t go through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What makes Google Wallet different<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most important things to note is that, since there&#8217;s no physical card, Google Wallet only works via tap-to-pay. Many places have this option, but there are still a lot that don&#8217;t (notably Walmart). If your child is spending at the same spots every time (like a school vending machine) and those spots support tap-to-pay, this isn&#8217;t a problem. But if your kid might venture places where tap isn&#8217;t an option, this can be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>Another big difference is that kids can&#8217;t check out online with Google Wallet &#8212; it&#8217;s in-store only. CashApp says the ability to block specific merchants or categories is coming soon, but if you&#8217;re worried about your child potentially wasting money on microtransactions in an online game, this is a big win.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/samsung-wallet-new-trips-travel-feature\/\">Samsung Wallet just got a travel feature that I hope Google Wallet copies ASAP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you already have an option set up like CashApp, I&#8217;m not sure Google Wallet&#8217;s version is different enough to warrant changing unless your kid is adamant about not carrying a card (my kid was). But if you&#8217;re setting up your kid with their own money for the first time and you already use Google Wallet or Family Link, this is a fantastic way to safely give your kids their own money.<\/p>\n<h2>How to set up a Google Wallet for kids<\/h2>\n<p>To set up this feature, your child must be under 18 and under parental supervision through Google&#8217;s Family Link. Your child&#8217;s device must support NFC and have the Google Wallet app. Open Google Family Link on your phone, select your child, tap Google Wallet, and choose Set up a balance.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE
