Lost Me Find Me Child Alarms

Small children, like Basset Hounds, are past masters at wandering off the second your back is turned. They have no idea of course that this sends the average parent into that awful heart in the mouth state of fear. Of course the media has made us far more worried than we should be (blast them), but paranoid parenthood is not something governed by logic. Children need their freedom, and 99 times out of a 100 they're fine bumbling away, but that doesn't stop us all from having mini heart attacks when we lose sight of them!

Essentially these clever little gadgets are proximity detectors, with the transmitter hidden in a delightfully soft adjustable wrist-band that fits nicely round your child's wrist. Mum and Dad keep hold of the alarm so when the little one goes exploring you can be alerted as soon as they wander out of range. You can set the approximate range (from 1-20 metres) at which point your alarm will go off, to warn you that your little terror has wandered out of the transmitter's range. You can then switch your receiver to 'Locate' mode, and it will go off the moment you are back in range. Brilliant.

Of course these gadgets are no replacement for vigilant parenthood, but they can stop you living your life on a knife edge every time you go out to the park or supermarket - after all what parent hasn't dashed frantically down the aisles only to find Junior up to his elbows in coco puffs.
