Google accounts

[DSalecich]

Newly purchased 2 Nexus 7's for my children,do I need to do separate google accounts on each device for each child or can I do 1 account for both devices. Not sure what the best option would be as children r quite young?? Pls help or point me in the right direction noting that I'm not that computer savvy.
Regards

I would suggest possibly keeping them all on the same account for ease of purchasing media content (apps, movies, music, books, etc.). If you purchase it via your account, it's available on any device that has access to that account. Then again, you can add multiple accounts to a device, so in the end... it's really all personal preference.

Edit: Although, I would point out that whatever account you use, they'll have access to that account's email, so maybe you wouldn't want your young children on your account... at all. Depends on how much you trust them, I suppose.

I would either make two accounts and activate each on a different one to get both sets of play store credits
OR
Activate 1 on my account to get the credit and activate the other on a new account for the kiddos to get the other credit, then switch the first to the shared account after activation.

Part of the decision would depend on the age and sex of the children. You say yours are very young so maybe a shared account is better, that way you buy games once and they both can play on their own N7. For teens the privacy issue would overshadow any cost savings.
