The premise for How I Met Your Mother is that Future Ted is telling his two children the story of how he met their mother, revealing more of the story in each episode. The son and daughter appear to be in their early teens in the year 2030.

The daughter is played by Lyndsy Fonseca, and the son is played by David Henrie. Their names are unknown, however it has been shown Ted wants to name them Luke and Leia, after the two Star Wars characters. (Milk and Landmarks) It's unknown whether he will stick to these names once he actually has children, or if The Mother will even agree to name the children that.

Throughout the episodes the kids are wearing the same clothes and sitting on the same sofa, except on the pilot episode, suggesting that perhaps Future Ted's story is not taking that long to tell. After the shows were picked up by the network they probably made changes in sets to make nicer home for future Ted but did not re-shoot the pilot episode.

They have had little dialogue since first season, most likely because of the aging of Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie.

In Trilogy Time, it is shown that the daughter was born in 2015 which makes her age about 15 or 16. She is older than the son.

In Lobster Crawl, it is shown that Marshall and Lily took Ted's daughter to see Santa Claus as payback for taking Marvin to see Santa for the first time.
