When Leaps and Bounds (sister company of One Step Ahead) sent me their Mommy I’m Here child locators and their Tattoos with A Purpose to test, I was so relieved. We were planning our first family vacation since having the triplets and I was petrified of one of them getting separated from our crowd at Disney World.
The child locators were a bit tricky to figure out with multiples at first. Because they looked just alike, I needed to find a way to distinguish which receiver went with which transmitter/keychain. I ended up using a dot of fingernail polish (3 different colors that we already associate with each child) to match them up. Worked like a charm!
The kids loved the little bears. I loved that they were water-resistant, too. And having the parent transmitter on a keychain was a great help. I could just clip them on my belt-loop and have them easily accessible.
I only wish they had a different way to clip the bears on. They have a closed loop that requires shoes with laces or a belt. We had neither, so I put the bears in their pockets and had to rely on them not taking them out to play with them (and possibly losing them).
If one of the children got more than 25-ft from me, my transmitter would sound an alarm. I could also press the button on my transmitter to have their receiver’s alarm sound. Great system!
And as a back-up, we put the tattoos on them that say “If I am lost, call (hubby’s cell phone #).” The kids thought they were SUPER cool! Seriously, they didn’t want me to wash them off! The tattoos come with several really fun images and include a special pen for writing your phone number on the actual tattoo after it is fully dry. These are also water-resistant (umm…and sweat-proof). So easy to use and especially helpful for children who aren’t yet old enough to know all of that information on their own.
Thank you so much, Leaps and Bounds/One Step Ahead for giving me the gift of peace of mind on our vacation!
