The child safety industry is starting to grow up. Only a few years ago when child safety was in it’s infancy, there were simple tools for preventing injury like cupboard locks and simple baby gates. Soon other child safety products appeared on the scene like baby monitors and car seats. Currently, the child safety industry in entering it’s adolescence phase and it seems parents can’t get enough of high tech gadgets that will help keep their children safe and out of harms way.

The child safety gadgets described in this article can offer parents help if their child gets into trouble. The satellite based GPS (Global Positioning System) that helps drivers manage unfamiliar roads is also helping parents keep track of children. The WorldTracker GPRS tracker can be put into a small black case and attached to a child’s belt with a secure belt loop.

Using the SecureTrack Emergency Tracker/Communicator parents can quickly obtain their child’s current location including map and full street address, set up geofencing alarms, turn on and off auto-track feature, obtain historical data and adjust report rate. If you need a quick find, just call from your cell phone, and in moments you will receive a text message with the full address of current tracker location.

Some of these GPS systems may also offer a ‘panic’ button that a child can quickly push to send an SOS message to a preset phone number or e-mail address.

The WorldTracker GPRS tracker for example has this SOS ‘panic’ button. Some even have a remote audio monitoring system so parents can here what’s going on near the tracking device and even get a log of where the device has been that day.

There are also trackers that can be hidden in the family car, such as Travel Eyes 2 (www.mightygps.com/traveleyes2.htm). Radio frequency identification, the technology used in the Illinois Toolway I-PASS collection system uses radio waves to transmit a unique ID number that can be picked up on a nearby receiver. RFID tags, like the ones in the Locator Plus Pack With Disaster Alert, can be pinned to clothing or put in backpacks, giving parents a way to keep track of as many as 24 kids within 600 ft.

Due to the rapid increase of child abductions in Mexico and Britain companies are now using RFID technology as implantable microchips, little bigger than a grain of sand that can be injected just under a child’s skin.

For those looking for a simple audio alert, the Child Guard may just do the job. The receiver, shaped like a small teddy bear, attaches to the child’s cloths and produces a audible alarm when the child wanders off to a range of 30 feet.

Pool safety has also gone high tech with the Pool Alarm. The Pool Alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It’s portable, self-contained and light weight. The unit is simple to operate. Entry into the pool will be detected by the Pool Alarm’s electronic sensor, triggering a loud pulsating alarm at the unit and inside your house from the remote receiver.

In addition to these child safety products, parents can place hidden cameras in important rooms in the home to make sure their children aren’t misbehaving of being abused by child care providers.

Parents can buy software programs like PC Pandora that can block objectionable Internet Web sites and monitor for sexual predators that may be waiting to abduct their children and turn them into sex slaves.

Better Child Safety products have only begun to appear in stores and on the Internet. In the future, there will be many more products that can help parents keep their children safe in the ever changing dangerous world.
