Children: a parent applies for the child from the parent's e-Visa account
The Egypt e-Visa portal (run by the Ministry of Interior) says each visitor to Egypt must submit an e-Visa application in their own personal account, and that parents can apply for their children from the parent's account. The page does not say what age counts as a child.

Why applications on this route get refused
Incomplete documentation
Missing a required document is a common cause of refusal or delay.
How to avoid it: Confirm the exact requirements for your nationality on the official visa2egypt.gov.eg portal before applying.
Applied too close to your travel date
The portal requires an application at least 7 days before departure.
How to avoid it: Apply well before the 7-day minimum, ideally several weeks ahead.
Applied through an unofficial third-party site
The Ministry of Interior explicitly warns that visa2egypt.gov.eg is the only government e-Visa site, third-party sites charge extra fees and aren't official.
How to avoid it: Only apply through visa2egypt.gov.eg directly.
