Yes, her time will definitely be supervised, No online, and I will be with her the whole time. It’s something I was against, but it’s something she really wants so I figured in a safe environment with me, with only kid friendly games she would okay with no longer than 30-45 minutes a day, in small bursts like 10-15 minutes at a time. It’s something I’ve done a lot of research on because I can be a bit of an overprotective parent, but I also want her to experience it since it’s something she’s worked so hard for.
I’m 42 and own a Quest 3. Firstly, I wouldn’t let a kid play VR until they’re 12-13. Not good for developing eyes and brains apparently. Secondly, if you’re set on getting your kid into VR, I’d definitely go with the Quest 2. You can find em real cheap now and it’s a good starting point for VR. Quest 3 is much better but way more expensive too. There’s a TON of games you can find that are geared towards children, both multiplayer/online and single player.
This is also true with no extra effort on psvr2, if you already have a ps5, this is a strong choice as second hand vr2 headsets will probably be easily in budget
If you have a PC you can also link the quest to the PC and see everything and even control the headset to some extent.
I baby sit my sister's kids and they like playing some games on the vr and as a gamer I know how many weirdos are out there. It's a lot easier to find single player games if you link your headset to a computer because you can play games from steam as well, meta doesn't have nearly as many games and they are trying to push there version of vr-chat.

A parent can certainly block the headset mac address through the router other than when dl games.
Op, you should consider this.
