Travel money card for under 18's.

Any recommendations?
I wanted to do a PO one but it's for over 18's, so I'm guessing I need to go with a company where I can link a card.
Interested in all experiences, whether bad or good, and a heads up to any pitfalls/ hidden fees.

If the child is 11-17 they can get a FlexOne account from nationwide with a debit card. Card can be used for chip+pin, cash machine and contactless transactions abroad.
I think the fees are 1.5% for card transactions plus a cash fee for using a cash machine, but the exchange rate is good.
