24+ tubeless question

Thinking of converting my kids bike to tubeless. I'm still experimenting with tire pressure but its somewhere around 15 psi. Is that too low to hold a seal? Am I better off with tubes at that point? Just trying to smooth out the trails for her. Tires are tubeless ready I'm not sure on the rims.

You could do a “ghetto tubeless” setup with a split tube or gorilla tape.

My son is on a Specialized Riprock 24. I set it up tubeless pretty much from day one. I have the 2.8 wide tires at 10psi and haven't had a problem since November when we got it. He's ridden countless laps around the block, at 6 Mile Run, and some other local trails with no issues at all.
