Want GPS for your little explorer? For $99, Insignia has introduced the “Little Buddy Child Tracker” GPS device to give you some peace of mind when your precocious kids are wandering. Available at Best Buy in blue or green. The Little Buddy Child Tracker fits into a lunchbox or backpack and apparently has a 1 week battery life. ( Currently, it is back ordered on Best Buy.)
And yes, this post and product are legitimate which is a little bit hard to believe with a price point of only $99 for a GPS tracking device. I’ve not yet reviewed this product myself but figured you’d like the general product info.
Today, the Chicago Sun Times reported that, “It combines global satellite positioning and cellular technology to signal the child’s whereabouts to a computer or smart phone. Parents can program the device to set up specific times and locations where the child is supposed to be — in school or at home, for example — and the device sends a text message if the child leaves the site in that time.”
Techies have supposedly given this GPS for kiddies angry write ups, but maybe they’re not worried parents. Seriously, I plan to invest in this $99 GPS device or something compatible to keep track of my adventurous toddler Kyle when he hits the preschool years. Already he’ll begin to wander into the woods on his own accord while we’re playing in the backyard if we don’t stop him.
