When they turn 18 they are already going to have access to the BI. I'm not sure of the benefit of a fund rather than directing it to school funding.

Prior to school it would allow parents to pay for daycare, diapers, food and subsidize paternity/maternity leave.

I know of folks who end up many kids to maximize on the welfare per kid. Can you really trust all parents? I've seen some abuse of welfare in my days in Australia.
