I lost my four year old grandson for 5 minutes in a Wal-Mart last week.
What a terrible feeling, panic and fear hardly describe the feeling.
I was lucky and found him quickly.
However, still shaken I began to wonder what if I had not found him right away.
I discovered there are many child location devices on the market.
This emerging technology is growing by leaps and bounds.
With a child location device, you can be sure of your child's location at all times.
If they happen to get away from you in a crowded place, you can use a child locator to find them before it's too late.
Apparently a staggering 800,000 children go missing each year, most are found in a relatively short time.
Child locators are designed to help you find your child quickly.
Some of the devices beep when your child is out of a preset range or if a parent presses a SOS button.
Lets face it, the world can be brutal, it is our duty as a parent to do all we can to protect our children.
Any useful child tracking device should be dependent upon 2 technologies - GPS and cell phone.
Anywhere you can receive a GPS signal and cell phone reception, the device would work.
It limits you to this technology as a land line will not receive text data or be able to connect to the internet.
However, the cell phone is becoming the dominant technology, with just about everyone owning one or having access to a cell phone.
I found that most of the products available are priced in the same range and offer various monthly fee plans.
If you are on a limited budget you could look into a Wherifone that is available from ToysRus.
I would tend to go a little more hi-tech if you can afford it.
