This isn't working correctly so I presume I am doing something wrong.

This is a camp type event registration and I need to collect additional (custom) data from the folks registering. It is a kid's event so I have a requirement for being able to register multiple kids in one family (eg: one parent contact, two emergency phone numbers, one bill, potentially multiple kid records)

I created a custom data set for each kid that had the fields name, gender, age, allergies, medical issues, etc.... with the option for up to 5 instances (tabs). I tried making it type Individual, and type Household, but neither will show up as an option when I go to select it for a Profile.

I then created a CIVICrm Profile, create an entry for the event, added fields for parent's name, emergency contact/phone number, etc.. and my intent was to add my custom data set for the kids but it does not show up when I select either of those types (individual or household)

Am I going about this wrong?

Not as complete as what you'd want, but you can
1) Create a profile "parent" with the emergency phones and whatever you want to ask the parent
On the pre field, explain that they must register the parent info first
2) Create a profile kids, with custom fields allergies, medical history (note fields)
3) On the event allow multiple participants registration, first participant with profile parent, the others with profile kids

Limitations: that's one parent only that you register, and the kids have the history allergies in big blobs of text (not a big deal IMO)

You might want to code a custom module that creates automatically a household, and sets the relationships between the parent, kids and households after the registration.
