Child Safety Products

Electronic Child Leash - Worn by the child, the cartoon animal-shaped transmitter sends a constant signal to the receiver, which is held by the adult. The signal is adjustable from a distance of 6 to 30 feet, so when the child goes beyond the set distance, the adult's receiver starts to beep, letting them know that the child is starting to wander off.
Follow Me - Never get separated from your child. With our two-person security system, you can keep your child safe and close in public, without a tether. Clip the transmitter to your child's belt loop; keep the receiver. If the two of you are separated by up to 15 feet, the transmitter beeps, so you can quickly find your child.
