Wait 'til your child starts walking and conquering the world... Then you'll see why kiddo is so useful!

I have one, and I must say that I'm really glad with it... You can't be 100% focused all the time, and believe me you'll need to!

Its a very good device. When i pick up my kid he already knows that Kiddo is just for his safety and slhoud not be removed. In fact it helps, i'm happy with the product.

where is the alarm when a pedophile gets too close?

I KNOW where my kid is.

I DON'T know where the Pedo-bear is.

Maybe if the device could tell you which direction they are at, it might be of use.....but just a beep when past 13 feet is not enough.....

A small backpack like device with a helium tank and a balloon on a Kevlar tether is the solution. When they get away, you hit the button, the balloon inflates, and you can know exactly where your kid is. And if they are near a ceiling fan, even better.

Get this, get the V-chip, implant a GPS tracking device.. pretty soon you don't have to be a parent at all.

Geez, how hard would it have been to embed a GPS chip in there, so you can zero in on the kid after they've run off?

Otherwise, yeah, seems pretty useless...

@Skeptical_Geezer: or if you wanted to get really interesting, a shock collar.

As the parent of a 3 year old (and an 11 year old who was once a 3 year old), I call this product useless. Toddlers and preschoolers do not "wander away." They RUN away the second the see an opening! Sensing freedom, they bolt for the nearest kid-size gap in the crowd (or shrubbery). I don't need a gadget to tell my my kid is zooming off; it's instantly plain to see.

Maybe parents with really, really slow kids could use this device.

At first I thought the best place to embed one was in the sole of the kid's shoe, until I remembered that I cant get my 2 year old to keep his shoes on.

One of the things I can't stand is an unsupervised small child in a public place. My stepmom thought along the same lines and called out "Free Baby!" to get the parent to suddenly realize their kid was wandering out of range. If there's one thing I can say about her is that she was incapable of being embarassed if annoyed enough.

So, basically by the time it goes off the child is gone, and it's really just there to induce panic in you for being so irrisponsible as to 1) bring your child, 2) not physically hold on to your child, 3) think that this gadget is an acceptable replacement for 1 and 2...

Just get the kid the monkey backpack w/ the tail that acts as a leash and be done with it.

You could also attach this to your flash drive that holds all your snuff porn, that way "the Man" won't get it.

or your car keys, that would be wise also. Anything you often forget actually.

Hellz as much as I used to make fun of this crap. Now I have a 4 year old and 1 year old. This could give you a little peace of mind in a crowded place. And if I hear it going off with a kid screaming in toe its a free chance to dish out a beat down.

A choke chain collar is more effective.
