Roblox Parent Guide 2026
Everything parents need to know about Roblox — safety features, parental controls setup and what to watch for.
Quick Answer
Roblox is generally safe for children with the right settings. Enable Account Restrictions for under-10, set a Parental PIN, and change all privacy settings to Friends Only. These three steps eliminate the vast majority of risks.
Set Parental PIN
Prevents your child changing safety settings. Go to Account Settings → Security → Account PIN.
Enable Account Restrictions
Limits child to curated games only. Disables open chat. Recommended for under-10.
Privacy to Friends Only
Prevents strangers messaging or following your child. Settings → Privacy.
Set Spending Limits
Control Robux purchases at roblox.com/parents. Set monthly limits and require approval.
Chat Filter is ON by default
Under-13 accounts have stricter automatic filters blocking personal info and links.
Check Friend List Regularly
Review who your child is friends with periodically. Ask about anyone unfamiliar.
