Child Safety Alarms

Every parent knows that children can be very unpredictable. It is in the child's nature to explore his surroundings and engage in new activities. However, danger lurks around the corner and strikes whenever it has the opportunity. Imagine it's summer and you are sitting with your three-year-old toddler in a park, enjoying the lovely scenery on this beautiful day. After you turned your back to your child for a moment, in order to get some candy out of your bag, you notice that he is missing. Desperately you start to search the park, but you are unable to find him. Worries about a possible kidnapping are racing through your mind. How can the threats of child abduction be reduced?

Fortunately, there are so called safety alarms for kids, which exist in various forms. For instance, parents can attach a locator to the child's belt, disguised as a little teddy bear. When the parents lose their child out of sight, for example in a crowded theme park or the mall, they only have to take out their transmitter and press the button. The teddy bear will make a very loud noise that will guide the parents directly to their kid. Such devices don't cost much money and are a great solution for finding your lost child.

However, sometimes the child has walked away too far for the sound to reach the parents. Or the surrounding area is too noisy to filter out the locator's sound. To avoid these barriers, parents can buy a GPS tracking device. Again, the child gets a locator attached. This piece of technology sends out GPS signals that parents can track with their transmitter. Thanks to this system, parents are able to check twenty-four hours a day where their child is located. Unfortunately, the main disadvantage is that these kind of safety alarms are still rather expensive. Also, GPS tracking devices only work outdoors.

But abduction alone is not the only threat to a child's well-being. A car can also be a dangerous area for young children. Fortunately, manufacturers have developed different kinds of safety alarms that can protect your kid from harm in a car. For instance, there are belt safety alarms that warn you whenever your child unbuckles his seatbelt.

Some parents may leave their kid unattended in the car, for example when they forgot something at home. The parent might get distracted by an unsuspected phone call, which makes him forget about the child he left in the car. Especially in warm climates this can be a very dangerous situation. That is why producers have developed a device that alarms you when you have left your kid alone for too long. This can be a great solution for parents who might lose track of time easily.

Water can be a great risk to children as well. Parents with a pool in their garden might consider buying a pool alarm system, which will emit an alarm when the child falls into the water. It is very simple and doesn't require any technical installation. You only have to lock a child-friendly wristband around your child's wrist that will send out a signal when it detects water. This signal causes the base alarm system to go off, and you will be immediately warned whenever your kid risks drowning.

There are many options for parents who want to expand their child's safety. Whether it is indoors, outdoors or in the car, for almost any scenario there is a fitting child safety alarm system. Of course, these devices do not substitute the essential parental supervision in any way. The safety alarms described above only give you the ability to expand your kid's safety even more.
