Guard a Kid

“He was right here a minute ago.”  “I only turned my back for one minute.”  “She never wanders away.”  These excuses and many more often accompany a panicked parent when they discover their child is not at their side.  Children are reported missing every day, making it more important that we keep our eyes on them at all times.

Before the unfortunate happens and you cannot find your child, look to a portable child locator device that acts as a GPS system.  These small but mighty electronics are programmed to your computer within a particular perimeter, allowing the parent to check in on their location at a moment’s notice. This child locator device can also be programmed to send updated texts to your cell phone in order for the child to report in their location easier.

Some devices are waterproof, others are shock resistant.  They are very accurate, with some models able to pinpoint the location within 15 feet.  A panic button is included that allows a child to silently press a button and alert you to their location within seconds. A distress signal is sent to your phone or email, as well as a location beacon on a map.

Child locator devices are readily available, and are another way to provide more accurate security.  Rechargeable batteries make the child locator device always ready, and the small size makes them perfect to take on field trips, family vacations, or any time your child may be away from your home.
