I bought the Jiobit and works fairly well. There is a subscription to this one. I am using this to keep track of my daughter while she is on the bus or for going to crowded places. I opted for the Protect plan as well and she can push a button to alert me when she is in trouble. I have more peace of mind knowing that I can get her location easier and notify dispatch of her location if needed. Wish I bought it sooner. Better late than never.

This is a great video and I think you should update it and expand on it with service reviews because if you Google some of the devices to look for reviews there's some pretty bad ones. It will really suck to spend a lot of money on a device that has bad service and support especially ones with a monthly fee. One bad one is the Angel Sense if you look.

@asksafewise Год назад

The sad thing is tech doesn't have to advance very far to be abused. Even the stuff we have around today like AirTags and these trackers can be used for controlling or paranoid purposes. We cover things like these Kids' GPS trackers to help parents who have kids with special needs or those who might need a little extra help watching over their kiddos.

@kittykat981 3 года назад

Just had a baby and I am already thinking about school etc. I want a tracker that I can hide in a shoe or even a hair clip of r necklace. Kidnappers will probably toss backpacks or even a pin I can attach to clothing under a collar. Sigh

@astrotrain3332 3 года назад

Ever find anything?

@KelsieHanson95 3 года назад

I have the same concern. I'll probably be getting the AngelSense tracker because, even if the kidnapper or whoever knows it's there, they can't remove it--short of cutting it off, which takes time and tools. If it's just attached to your child's pocket, then of course the person can take off their clothing, but that's true for being in their shoe, a hairclip, necklace, patch, etc. With the AngelSense, you can use the belt which is fastened to your child's body and can only be removed by someone with the magnetic key. OR by cutting it off. Hopefully with the belt idea, we'd make it to our child's location before they criminal would be able to remove the device and flee.

@asksafewise 3 года назад

Great question, @Mimi G. If you aren't going to use it very often, check out cheaper options like MyBuddyTag which uses Bluetooth. It connects to your phone and once the Bluetooth signal (and your child) goes out of range, you'll get an alert. It doesn't have as strong of features as AngelSense, but it's a good way to test out a GPS and see if you like it.

The idiots that wrote “trust issues” never had a child go missing. In my case my son on his first day of kindergarten ran away from the school. Thankfully good people caught him in the houses around the school and took him back. The worse experience ever for our first son on his first day. Think before writing something extremely stupid and ignorant. There’s also autistic kids and other needs.

@kevinoechslin7376 Год назад

R u going to talk about the brands? How r we supposed to know what they r?

@trey8072 Год назад

Just to be clear, those devices don't just send updates to you "through an app." An app is just a user interface. The devicesl rely on some type of data link (cellular like LTE or something). And the data link is almost always a monthly subscription which ultimately is with a major cell carrier. Would be helpful to elaborate on that. Only devices I'm aware of that don't need a cellular link is Tile, Apple airpods, Samsung airtags. There are other off brands as well.

@lincoln6981 2 года назад

I bought an airtag for my daughter she's 6. And she wears it like a watch. One one hand I'm iffy about it because I feel over protective/ and even kinda intrusive to an extent. On the other hand if (God forbid) my daughter were to get lost somewhere somehow or even kidnapped ! I'd have some shot at knowing her location

@asksafewise 2 года назад

@Lincoln that's a smart idea! It's tricky to know where that line between intrusive and protective goes. We always say that having a conversation with your kids at any age about this stuff and why you keep tabs on them is a really good first step.

@J0hn.R 2 года назад

Air tag needs to be connected to a device nearby, iPhone for example. If a child were to get distant from the device, it would disconnect and no longer provide GPS .

@joyceecyoj. 2 года назад

You are not intrusive. We just had an kid missing here with an sad ending. So no as long as they are vulnerable i am all for it!

That's the big question, isn't it Aurora? Devices like trackers can feel controversial and invasive, especially when used to protect our kids. That's why we feel it's important to be straightforward with your kids if you use a device like any of these. Making it clear that a tracker like this is for their safety not for your snooping can make the issue a little easier.

@asksafewise 4 года назад

Raman, many of the trackers claim up to 5-7 days of battery life, but that's basically if you're not getting frequent GPS location updates. Lots of activity will drain the batteries on most of these, so they'll require charging every couple days. I don't have any that are waterPROOF, but all are water-resistant to a certain extent.
