Top Trackers for Kids

Technology companies continue to innovate and that's good news for parents and carers who are wanting to keep track of their child. Wearable trackers can be used to track a child's movements when in school, on excursions such as camping trips, on family travel, when out with friends or when you are out shopping. A tracker can be placed inside their bag, pocket, clip into their clothes or place around the wrist.

Some of the key features of a tracking device / product include:

  • GPS - allows for real-time location and location tracking with history, typically viewable from a smart phone app

  • GEOFENCING - allows for safe zones (a boundary you define) to be notified of when the tracking device (thus your child) enters and leaves this area.

  • SOS - allows your child to send emergency alerts from the tracking device and send notifications to your mobile device immediately.
