The “Little Buddy Tracker” is a must-have this holiday season for any parent worried about their badass kids. It’s a GPS tracking device that you put in your child’s backpack or It will alerts you if your child leaves the premises of where he/she is suppose to be.
As long as we’re not implanting chips into our kids I’m all for this idea. It’s a better solution than leashes or god forbid invisible shocking fences.
According to reports, Kinderguard, the UK version of the tracker came out a few years back is doing quite well. The Kinderguard is a more technical device that measures your child’s vitals and alerts you if their heart rate, respiration or any other body part goes kaput.

Yes, with the number of children that go missing each year, every parent should use a personal GPS tracking device, but you dont have to be a parent to need or benefit from owning one of these devices. Motorcycles, skis, musical instruments, laptop computers, purses & luggage, even the family dog: EVERYBODY has SOMETHING they want to protect!!! When considering the purchase of a tracking device, do your homework because not all GPS systems are alike. Aside from features such as Geofencing, speed-alerts and so on, the one thing you really need to look into is the COST. Most GPS devices I've looked into have HIDDEN costs such as monthly/annual renewal fees or charge you per track ontop of the purchase price. When I called Best-Buy to get more info on the "Little Buddy" they couldn't even tell what the OTHER costs of thier system were. I ended up buying a system called "The GPS Guadian" at http://www.thegpsguardian.com . Not only did I get the device for FREE by purchasing 3 years of service up front, but I got the 4th and 5th year of service for FREE as well.
