Recommended: ion Kids Tracking Device (Reduce Flight Risk)
The ionKids system allows you to monitor up to four tagged objects at once. Children, seniors, pets or anything you might lose and want to keep safe. The system consists of a base unit, a handheld device that allows parents to monitor up to four tags simultaneously and a Wristag. Tag holders can be purchased seperately and can be clipped onto belt loops or lanyards; Wristags can be locked on children’s wrists. ionKids lets you set a variable zone around the base unit so you will know when your child wanders to far. If you can’t find them, use the locating device and let it show you where to go to find them. ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR KIDS. LET IONKIDS HELP TAKE AWAY THE STRESS.
One thing that I want to do with this site is recommend to parents stuff that works. Our 6 year old daughter, who is PDD, vanished one day while we were at a relatives house. One minute, she was right there, the next gone. Well, the next 25 minutes were filled with pure terror, until we found her climbing a tree in the neighbor’s backyard. We were frantically searching the neighborhood, interrupted a big party down the street and recruited more searchers, were looking in and around lakes in the neighborhood. We had the police on the scene (even though they were borderline worthless).
You get the picture. Total chaos.
I looked for a good GPS device to put on her so we could always know where she was from now on, but I could not find one ready for prime time that didn’t involve a third party or a lot of sophisticated technology that I didn’t have a lot of faith in (PDA, Phone, Internet Connection, etc.) If your kid goes missing, you don’t want to have to stop and logon to the internet or fumble with a cell phone. That’s for sure. The GPS solutions were also VERY expensive and bulky. We settled on the ion Kids unit and it works great. She wears the unit as a watch or has it clipped on to her clothes. If she gets beyond a predetermined range, the base unit which I carry in my pocket beeps and vibrates. If I don’t see her, I can switch to “find mode” and figure out which direction to go after her.
It’s great to be out somewhere and know that she is still within X feet of me at all times. The unit can track up to 4 kids at once.

Hello, I have a 17 y/o daughter with Ruberous Sclerosis and Autism. She has “run away” from home several times and once from school. I would be interested in a wrist gps-like device.
