Child Tracking Device Watch Uk
What Owners Say: Trax Play's average rating on Amazon is around 3 out of 5 stars, with half of the ratings either 4 stars or better. Owners who like the Trax Play praise the device's geofencing features and its compact size. One reviewer who upgraded from the original Trax felt that the new device had better battery life. The chief complaint among dissatisfied owners centers on Trax Play's accuracy, particularly with its subpar performance indoors.—Althea Chang
The Spot Gen3 ($150) offers pinpoint accuracy in a durable device, but younger kids would have a hard time knowing which button was which — including an emergency button that sends location data to rescue personnel. Likewise, the Trackimo ($115) has an appealing data plan and a useful geofencing feature, but it's simply too much for a young child to master. (Read our Spot Gen3 and Trackimo reviews if you're interested in a more general purpose GPS tracker.)
As part of our testing process, we compared generic GPS trackers to ones geared specifically to kids, concluding that kid-friendly trackers are better for keeping tabs on your child. For one, kid-friendly trackers' compact size let them fit neatly in backpacks or on smaller wrists. And many offer features that put parents' minds at ease, like geofencing capabilities and SOS buttons that can ping multiple contacts. Not every mass-market tracker offers these kinds of kid-focused capabilities, so turning to a device built specifically for kids will be money well spent for moms and dads.

Ease of use: We wanted to find devices that were easy enough for a small child to use, certainly, but also ones that wouldn't give mom or dad fits during the setup and activation process. Here's one universal tip: Make sure to activate your GPS tracker in as wide of an open space as possible — not from inside a building. Trackers hate being enclosed, especially at the beginning.
The former is an iOS app; the latter is an Android one. Both are free, and both are good GPS trackers for older kids who have their own smartphone. As with the previous tracking app, neither of these has advanced features like geofencing, though both offer location alerts. And, you can use both to track friends as well as kids.

Other details: it’s water resistant, it comes in four colours, and the battery should last three days on a full charge. Unfortunately, the KidFit3 is not yet available, but earlier versions of the KidFit GPS watch are available for as little as €99; however, these have more limited features, like fewer predefined contacts and no activity tracking. Look for the KidFit3 to be available for purchase soon.
The Jiobit is small and light, about 2 x 1.5 x 0.5 inches and 0.6 ounces, with a loop that lets you attach it to a backpack, shoe, belt loop, keychain or necklace. After I tucked it inside an organizer pocket in my son's backpack, I had to fish it out only every five days or so to charge it in the USB charging dock.
