A child rider is an insurance policy rider that provides coverage for a child. This rider can be added to a life insurance policy, health insurance policy, or both. The child rider can be used to cover expenses related to the child’s medical care, education, or other needs.


There are many reasons why parents may decide to add a child rider to their insurance policy. One reason is to make sure that their child is covered in the event of their death. If the parent dies, the child rider can provide financial assistance to the child. Another reason is to provide coverage for a child with a pre-existing medical condition. This rider can help to cover the costs of the child’s medical care.

Parents should check with their insurance company to see if a child rider is available for their policy. There may be some restrictions on who can be covered under the rider. For example, the child may need to be under the age of 18. Parents should also compare the cost of the child rider with the cost of other insurance options.
