Child Tracking Device Canada
Features: In addition to tracking location, many GPS devices offer a multitude of features, including one- and two-way calling and the ability to set up geofenced zones that alert you when your child has left a designated area. We look at which devices went beyond the basics and how those features were implemented.
It also comes with one month of free tracking. Tracking can be performed using a live map, a compass with distance countdown or, get this, augmented reality. Yup, just hold your smartphone up (iOS or Android) and, assuming you're pointing the phone's camera in the right direction, a little icon pops up on the screen showing you the child's whereabouts.

You add other caregivers to your Care Team by phone number. They'll receive a link over SMS (text) to download the Jiobit app, and when they set up an account, they enter their own phone number. Care Team members can choose to be notified when the Jiobit enters and leaves the trusted places you've set up, and they can see the Jiobit on the map and which caregiver is in range. They just can't set up additional trusted places or change any of the Jiobit's settings.
The best part for parents is how the Jiobit app for iOS and Android lets you know not only where your child is but also who she's with. If your child has multiple caregivers and they all use the Jiobit app, the tracker and the caregiver's phone will connect with Bluetooth whenever they're in range. That way, you can see in the app that your son left school at 3 p.m., accompanied by his dad, or his stepmom, or his babysitter, or whoever was supposed to pick him up.
Designed for kids aged 3 - 11, it has 2-way calling and messaging so kids can keep in contact with up to 10 contacts approved by the parents. Naturally, there's location tracking and GPS boundaries that parents can set up. You're also getting a 1.3-inch 240 x 240 AMOLED display with 4 - 7 days of battery life.
PocketFinder+ measures 3 x 1.6 x 0.6 inches and weighs 1.7 ounces. With the attached keychain, you can hook the finder to a bag or belt loop. It's a little larger than the Jiobit, but the PocketFinder+ also has an SOS button on the front, which the Jiobit lacks. Press and hold that button to send an SOS alert to email addresses and SMS phone numbers specified in the app. You can add as many contacts as you'd like.
When I stashed the PocketFinder+ in my son's backpack, which stays put in his cubby while he's at school, the battery lasted nearly two full days. But when he kept the finder in his pants pocket instead, we had to charge it each night. You can customize when you want the tracker to remind you to charge it, to avoid sending your kid off with a tracker battery that won't last all day.

“Its strongest feature is a geofencing capability that alerts you when your child wanders outside an area that you designate. You won’t be able to communicate with your kid, but Trax Play offers a number of other compelling features that make it an appealing choice, particularly if you’re the parent of a child too young to wear a GPS watch or carry a smartphone.”
