Within the Garmin Jr.™ app, your Garmin Jr. family is made up of members who you can designate as guardians or caregivers. Family members are automatically added as Garmin Jr. contacts.
See the following for other roles and permissions within the Garmin Jr. app:
There are a few limitations to be aware of when inviting or becoming a new family member.
Guardian, caregiver, and communicator accounts cannot pair devices, only the family administrator will have this ability.
The invited user cannot be a part of more than one Garmin Jr. family unless they are a communicator.
Guardians, caregivers, and communicators will not be able to edit the family or delete the family.
Bounce™ series and vívofit® Jr. series watch users can only be a part of one Garmin Jr. family.
