As a mother, one of my worst fears is having my child walk away and not be able to find them. My youngest was recently diagnosed with Autism and she loves to wander. I cannot tell you the amount of times she has just walked outside without anyone noticing. I was told to get a child locator device by some of her therapists, so I couldn’t wait to try the Insite Child Locater Separation Alarm by Audiovox.
I think my favorite part about this alarm is the velcro strap. I can attach the locator ball to just about anything on my daughter. Whether it’s on her shoes, a backpack, or even her belt loop I can feel safe when we leave the house. I love that I can attach the remote to my keychain so that as soon as I notice her walking a little too far away I can just press a button to find her. In my experience so far, my daughter does not like wearing jewelry or other accessories for an extended period of time. So I love that I can attach it in a place that she cannot see it like on the back of her pants.
Going to public places like malls, parks, or anywhere with a lot of people are easy places to lose track of your child. This is the exact reason we don’t go out much with the girls, other than for small family gatherings. The idea that my child could walk off and I would have no way of locating her absolutely terrifies me! It is definitely easier to go out now that I know that I can find her easily.
My daughter loves the design and ripped it out of the box as soon as she saw it. The Insite Child Locator Separation Alarm comes in two styles: a Flower (the one we received) and a Soccer Ball. The designs are super cute and super fun!
The Insite Child Locator Separation Alarm has a range of up to 100 feet and emits a 88dB ring that is sure to bring attention to where your child is! It definitely makes you feel secure when your child is wearing it.
You can find the Insite Child Locator Separation Alarm and other great products on the Audiovox website here. Also, be sure to check them out on Facebook!

My six year old is a wanderer, too. He gets into his own little world and just takes off without paying attention sometimes.

This is a fantastic idea. I am terrified of crowded places with my son now that he can run around. Would love to try this out!

I seriously need this for my daughter! She has no concept of danger and she is incredibly independent. but has a lot of speech delays. So even if she was lost; she couldn’t tell anyone who she is or who Mommy is. And she is always trying to run off and play hide and seek in the store. Oh my goodness. I need this!

That’s why we got it. My youngest will call everyone Mommy or Mommy something. Like Mommy-Sissy or Uncle Mommy. lol Its cute but it worries me.
Disney, vacation anywhere actually, outside doing yard work, lol (seriously), I can think of so many ways this would be useful. I’m glad to hear about it, and going over to check it out on their website. Thanks for the share.
what a great product. I once lost my son who was then 3 in a large clothes shop. I was really panicked. he was gone for almost 15 minutes!! turns out he was hiding under the clothing rails. but this would have saved the worry

I love this. I think I need one for my son. It would be perfect for when we are at the zoo or somewhere and he wants to get down and see what is going on.

I’m glad my son hasn’t figured wandering out yet. He’s still in the stage that he stays really close to me. This is neat.
Having my kids wander off was always such a huge fear of mine when they were smaller. I still get panicked when we go to crowded places like Disney. This sounds like a very useful tool that could provide some much needed comfort to us parents who worry about our kids wandering off!

I have 2 years old and 6 years old. My biggest fear is when we go to public places and they’ll be out of my sight. This is a great product!

This is a great device to use if you go somewhere crowded. My little one just started walking and I would be so afraid to lose sight of him. He’s so little and doesn’t really come when I call him!

Is that a velcro strap that attaches it to the child?

I love this!! Luckily our kids stay around us for now. But I am sure there will be a moment when this will become a concern.

This looks like an awesome gadget, especially if your kids wander. I could have used this when my daughter was younger.

That is such a great idea, while we all sit here an think – just keep an eye on your kids, they are so damn quick sometimes it is hard. Anything that helps keep them safe is a great idea.

This is a great idea for little ones. Wonder when someone is going to invent a small GPS that can be clipped to kids… I think that would be a great seller too.

Wow, this would be so popular here in Florida! With all the parks and stores it’s very easy for kids to wander off a bit too far from their parents sight.

This is a cool safety gadget for kids especially going to the public and backyard.
Not only is this great for kids, but for the older folks that wander as well.
