Hardware wallet if you don't mind spending a few quid or a simple offline wallet will suffice. Just save some of the addresses, and you can deposit Bitcoin whenever you want without actually opening the wallet. It's probably best to educate your children on how to stay safe with Bitcoin wallets, and the most common pitfalls.

Basically, the only thing your children need is either the private key or the seed, or preferably both. So, you only need to generate them, assure that they're working properly (which you can do safely on a offline computer), and that should avoid most of the common pit falls. Don't use a online service, since the attack vector increases, you can't guarantee that they haven't seen the private key themselves, and you also can't guarantee that the online service will still exist when your children grow of age to claim the wallet.

I do advice OP to save assets in hardware wallet too rather than setting up wallet's on Dex, I assume after reading his thread that he was going to start saving in it for a long term. I love the idea of saving up a a crypto asset for our children especially if it is bitcoin and ethereum because for sure it still has a value in the future and I believe that the children will love it because I'm pretty confident at that time the adoption of crypto in their generation are widely use.  Just make sure also, that you have taken down notes all the seed phrase and keep it because it is the only way for the children to access the wallet.

Regardless if you're giving them bitcoin or other altcoins, a hardware wallet such as Ledger[1] or Trezor[2] is necessary; especially if you want your children to actually end up inheriting something. Unless you want to hand over a wallet that's emptied out.

Are you sure you are going to create a wallet for your children in the future on DEX?
I think that it is not really safe enough for a long term saving.
If you are wiling to give your children about Bitcoin, Ethereum, and also other top coins, why don't use any hardware wallet which is safer than DEX?
I really wonder how if the DEX is closed, it's hacked, or even experiencing bad problems but you miss the chance to get them or lose your assets.
But, if you are willing to create so, DEX commonly doesn't need original ID or data to register.

I would like to set up a wallet for each of my kids and start saving accordingly.  I am not sure it is the best idea to create new accounts with DEX's under my name where the future owner will be my kids.  Any ideas on best practices a for this?
When it comes to savings then you would really need to deal with non custodial ones which simply means that you are in own of the private keys of said wallets.Its up to your whether you do like to know

the keys of those wallets or only into the possession of your kids and wont tend to know for yourself for the benefit of privacy or complete ownership but since you could really
still able to monitor those transactions when it comes to savings.

One of your common problem would really be on how you would make your children to learn up everything.

No, even DEX exchange we dont know when the site becomes shutdown, IMO, isn't a good idea to save your Bitcoin for a long time purpose there.
You can create a paper wallet or a Hardware wallet and here is a [BIG LIST] Hardware wallets (80+), either Ledger or Trezor which are very common to use.

In crypto, we have an important rule to follow in order for your coin to be safe for a long time (Not your key Not your coin), that key means your private key which is you are the only one who controls it and no one will access it.  Saving Bitcoin on exchange isn't a good idea at all.

I'm not sure why you're worried about registering a name for any DEX since it's not necessary and you only do that for centralized and custodial exchanges. Are you going to declare those wallets meant for your kids in your tax returns? If that is not the case then you can simply set up a non-custodial bitcoin wallet like Electrum and give them the seed phrase once they are old enough to receive it.
