When it comes to becoming bound by a shvuah (oath) by dint of answering amen to someone else’s utterance of the shvuah, the Rambam makes a point to say that even if the one who uttered the shvuah was a non-Jew or a child, the shvuah is binding (Hilchos Shvuos 2:1). However, when it comes to becoming bound by a neder (vow) by dint of answering amen to someone’s else’s utterance of the neder, the Rambam does not make any mention of this being the case if the one who uttered the neder was a non-Jew or a child (Hilchos Nedarim 2:1).
