Importance: Manipulative design features (known as dark patterns) are common in video games and adult-directed technologies, but their prevalence in children's interactive media has not been described.
Objectives: To develop a reliable coding scheme for gathering data on manipulative digital designs, describe their prevalence within apps used by a community-based sample of young children, and test hypotheses about associations of manipulative design features with socioeconomic status (SES).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study of a convenience sample of parents of children aged 3 to 5 years was conducted online.
