I quite agree Willow, that's why I wanted the view of someone like Romps and Neil who have two children that I don't think qualify, and one that does.

If you are going to have a scheme like this at all perhaps every child that is entitled to child benefit should be eligible. Although of course the shorter time the trust was in place, the less return for the older children.
