Life Insurance for Children - Where to Get the Best Rate By Brian Stevens Co-Author: Stacey Schifferdecker

As a parent, the last thing you want to think about is that one of your children might die. However, accidents and illnesses do happen, and many parents feel buying life insurance for children provides the family an extra level of protection. Here's how to get the best rate on children's life insurance.
Protecting Your Family

Most people buy life insurance to replace a breadwinner's income. While few children earn an income, buying a policy for them offers several other benefits:
* It allows you to lock in an inexpensive rate for your children, making it more affordable for them as adults.
* It guarantees that your children will have life insurance as adults if they develop an illness and become uninsurable.
* If you buy a whole life policy, you can begin building a financial nest egg for your children that they can draw on as adults to go to college, buy a home, or for other financial needs.
* It provides financial protection so the family will not be overwhelmed by medical bills and funeral expenses at an emotionally trying time.
Finding the Best Rate on Children's Life Insurance

You may get the best rate on life insurance for a child by adding a rider to your own policy. If this isn't an option, you can begin looking at other insurance companies.
The easiest way to compare rates from various companies is to log onto the Internet and go to an insurance comparison website. While there you'll complete a simple online questionnaire, after which you'll receive quotes from multiple A-rated companies.
The best comparison websites also have a chat feature with insurance professionals on hand to answer your questions and help you get the best rate (see link below.)
