Have you ever been to a Theme Park and saw a childleash? On the outside I laugh at the misfortune of the child, but on the inside I cry because the parents aren’t using suitable materials for the leash. Nothing prevents a kid from running away like a good steel chain. One of those large ones that Mr. T used to wear around his neck or the kind that John Cena wears now. However, if chains aren’t your thing you should probably checkout this tracking system done by Ion Kids.

My favorite quote from the site would definitely have to be from C & J Bowser (where’s Mario?):

I have had the ion-kids units in use now for a week and don’t know how I managed without them! Not only do they work as described, but my son Charlie, who has autism, when his unit indicates that he has gone out of range, he comes back into range to keep his unit from beeping. I never knew he would do that.

My husband and I are finding that the kids are staying with us more because the old hide and seek game has ceased to be a game. We are not yelling and searching all over stores for them anymore. We use our FIND button. Game over.

It’s very cool to see Bowser use my catch phrase “Game over”, but it’s not cool that they think it is okay to cheat in hide and seek. Nobody likes a cheater at that game, especially the kind that peek when they are supposed to be counting. But yeah, if you have kids that like to get lost I would recommend you check out the Ion-Kids system.

Actually you know what? You should probably just learn to keep an eye on your damn kids and therefore you won’t need a tracking system. If anything save them from embarrassment by inserting a RFID chip into their head. Someone has to have done this already somewhere.
