Child Tracking Device Hidden
My Buddy Tag is one of the more reasonable wearable child tracking devices out there. It doesn't work on GPS but rather with Bluetooth. You can set safety zones for your children and get a notification if they cross it, and you are also alerted if the watch is submerged under water for about 5 seconds consecutively. This is helpful for parents who have a pool.
My Buddy Tag is more than just a cool little wristband. The device, just like many other Bluetooth tracking devices, allows you to pre-set distances in proximity settings, ensuring your child doesn’t wander away.
The downside is that the Tile case is sealed, and the battery is good for approximately one year, so if you want to continue using the device, you will have to replace your old Tile with the new one applying for the manufacturer’s “re-Tile” program for a fee.

In the case of all of these different virtual threats, which are a lot more immediate in nature, child tracking devices are all but useless. Your child may be up in his bedroom under his blankets, but he still might be under great danger. How do you protect your children if you don't even know what you're protecting them from? This is where spy apps such as Spyzie come in. Not only is Spyzie far more effective in tracking children than most of the devices on this list, but it also comes with a lot of other features that makes it ideal for parents to use on their children.
«I like the simplicity and cost of this product - no SIM card or subscription to worry about or charging of batteries. My 4YO and I have been testing it out around the house - so far so good. I bought this for our upcoming Disney World trip. Simply helps me ensure that my child is within close proximity of me. In addition to the alarm, it allows me to see his location on a map, and allows him to contact me with the panic button if he needs it.».
While it was not entirely created as a family tracker, but as a real-time location sharing app, it’s still used by millions of users to track their friends and family members. Acquired by Snapchat, Zenly has become even more popular among American users. Moreover, it’s free!
I wouldn’t recommend cheap devices with 2G because they might not work in the US, are based on the outdated technology, and might not provide accurate tracking coordinates. However, I still decided to cover them so you know what to look for and what to avoid. My choice is the LG Gizmopal 2, which I also extensively cover later in this article.
The Location Privacy Protection Act of 2012 prohibits anyone from “collecting, receiving, recording, obtaining, or disclosing … geo-location information from an electronic communications device” of any other person without her direct consent and authorization. However, the act provides an exception for parents (or legal guardians) to locate a minor child.
