Summary: Good value neat little item!
Comment: I think this is a great item. I got one for my four-year old son, and my six-year old grandson, for when we go to Disneyland and Universal next month. My son has already tried it out, and we have practiced with him, and he knows that when he hears the beep, he is to stop-and look around for us, he knows it means we are looking for him. He likes it, it's small enough that he won't mind having it on all day, tho I think I will put it on their belts, instead of their shoes.

Summary: good to have
Comment: "Child Locator - Brown" looks great. It's funny and good to have. Hopefully I'm not gonna use it.

Summary: Bear with me.
Comment: We bought this little bear to help me keep up with my little guy at Disney. We could use it on the days he wore shorts with cargo pockets. On the days he didn't have cargo pockets, we had to leave little bear at home. Bear is kind of bulky and while the idea is good, the mounting system is not so good. You have to make sure your child is wearing shoes with shoe strings or shorts with a belt or big pockets. Can't wear crocs and the bear--or velcro shoes. The beeping sound is not as annoying as I wish it would be. We heard a beeping sound but it sounded like a cell phone--my girls were pressing the button to annoy their brother (which didn't even bother him). Would I buy again? I guess I would but would make sure to only pack cargo shorts or get some shoes that tie. If they made little bear smaller and more streamlined, I'd be even more likely to buy.

Summary: Works but battery life is poor.
Comment: This child locator works well and performed exactly as expected. My 4 year old called it his "teddy bear beeper" and loved wearing it. Most importantly, he also understood what it was for, meaning if it beeps he knew that Mom and Dad were looking for him. So during our trip to Asia, we actually did lose him in a very crowded store. I activated the transmitter and was able to hear the beep. He was 2 aisles down from where we were and he ran out looking for us. The teddy bear receiver uses 2 CR2032 (flat discs) batteries; the transmitter uses one A23 12 volt battery. These batteries are not cheap. The 12 volt battery in the transmitter was dead when it arrived. During the trip, it lasted only about 3 days without even being used. I'm giving it a pretty good rating only because it worked well in a real life situation.

Summary: Works Great and So Convenient!
Comment: I looked at all child products to help with keeping track of an active 3 year old (grandson) for a recent Disney trip. My daughter wanted nothing to do with any of the products that she felt were "like a dog on a leash" so I looked for something else. This product was perfect! My grandson liked it on his shoe and even though he was never out of sight it was nice to know we had it. My daughter kept the locator on her belt loop and we actually used it a couple of times when our parties got separated to find one another (via my grandson's shoe)! We never tried to check the distance per the manufacturer's claim, but I would guesstimate it to be correct. A few people actually questioned us about it and thought it was an excellent idea. (Of course we only purchased this for the just in case...we kept him close by at all times - this unit does have a turn off switch on the bear) Worth the money and would definitely purchase again!
