Child Locator

Best Buy has announced the Little Buddy Child Tracker to its' Insignia product line. Little Buddy allows you to keep tabs on your child at all times by slipping this little device into their backpack or lunchbox. It combines GPS and cellular technology to give you real-time location updates via computer or smartphone. Simply log onto Insignia's GPS Locator website to see a map of their exact location, so you know they haven't wandered off.

You can also customize the device to a specific location and time for where your child is supposed to be — for example, in school — and the device will alert you with a text message if your child leaves the designated area during that time. You will also receive an alert when the battery is running low. Do you have more than one child? Multiple Little Buddy's can be used to monitor other members of the family as well. Read more

I was skeptical at first, and did not think this device was practical – I was wrong! The Brickhouse Child Locator provides a level of confidence when you find yourself out with children in public places. We live in different times, and protecting the children in our lives is a priority. The BrickHouse Child Locator was created to help parents maintain their children's safety. The device not only helps you directionally locate your child, but it sends a warning if your child wanders too far from the device. It also works well for pets!

Parents know children can disappear quickly. They are curious, and innocent which is a combination for exploration in their world. We take our kids everywhere, professional football games, amusement parks, camping, street festivals, and more. The kids wander and in seconds they are out of sight. The BrickHouse Child Locator is to be used as an aid, and not a replacement for parental supervision.

The feature I like the most is the "alert" with vibration alarms which beeps to warn you that a child has wandered off too far. Inside, the BrickHouse Child Locator device has a range of 250 feet, and outdoors it has a range of 600 feet. My wife and I had a great time playing hide-and-go-seek with our boys, and this device took our game to another level. Read more
