Roblox Parental Controls: A Complete Guide for Families
With age-based accounts now global, parental controls matter more than ever. This guide walks through the settings families use most, in plain language.
Updated:
Roblox account settings include a Parental Controls area where a parent can add a PIN to lock changes, choose an experience maturity level, and turn chat and messaging on or off. For younger accounts, many of these limits are stricter by default and can only be relaxed after age checks.
Parents can also connect their own account to a child's account, set daily screen-time limits and add spending controls to manage Robux purchases. Reviewing these together with the child, rather than in secret, tends to work best and keeps trust intact.

Roblox FAQ
How do I set up parental controls on Roblox?
Open the account's Settings and go to Parental Controls: add a parent PIN, pick the allowed experience maturity level and switch chat or messaging on or off. Linking your own parent account lets you manage it remotely.
Can I limit how much my child spends on Robux?
Yes. Spending controls let parents set monthly limits and receive purchase notifications, and the parent PIN stops the child from changing those limits on their own.
What are Roblox Kids and Select accounts?
They are age-based account tiers rolled out globally in 2026: Kids (ages 5-8) has the strictest defaults with chat off, while Select (ages 9-15) adds freedom gradually and keeps parental settings in charge.
