GPS track for children

Robert928

I know the title might shock a few, but don't worry am not talking about planting chips in kids.

I've got a child with behaviour difficulties and as a family days out and holidays can become a really stress, but I found something that really helped us so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

GPS tracker for kids

It's basically a plastic device your child can wear or have clipped to a belt. You put a sim card inside the device and if your child runs off, you simply text the number of the sim card inside and you receive back a text with a google maps link! We have only had to use it once *touch wood*, but it's a massive peace of mind.

Are there any other BabyBear users here?

These sort of things have been around a long time for various purposes, not sure many kids would want something that looks like a baby toy on them.

Can be bought £30 cheaper in a more normal design

Have you ever used one of these? Would you recommend the,? Am looking to buy another one, but already trust the BabyBear because I've never had an issue.

No I can't say I have, being in electronics I have seen them advertised for several years and had a passing interest.

It does seem that there are some quite cheap and nasty units out there but some seem decent enough.

This one Amazon sounds impressive for about £40 going by someones detailed review. Amazon are pretty good with terms even with marketplace sellers so if one turned out to be rubbish it would be easier to return.
