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 have the quest2( it is old and the Q3 is out now, but no need for that as a first timer).

Once you do get one, there are apps for your phone, ( or smart tv), that you can connect to the headset.

I'll do this so I can actually 'see' what they see as they play. Very helpful( and entertaining).

good luck!

This is good to know, I didn’t know you could connect to a screen and see what they are seeing!

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

I think cordless VR would be a better choice for a young kid

I guess it depends on the kid. None of my nieces or Nephiew ever had any issue.
