Locking wrist or ankle bracelet waterproof and uncuttable. These products are to easy for a kidnapper to remove.
all are too big, the people making these are stupid. make it small ffs!
Jiobit is the worst company/product EVER! We bought a brand new Jiobit when my daughter was born. A year later when we tried to activate it, we were told this first generation Jiobit we paid $120 for is no longer supported, and we need to buy a new version for any functionality. They literally stole $120 from us and there is nothing I can do beside tell other people about my experience. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST!!!
I bought the Jiobit and works fairly well. There is a subscription to this one. I am using this to keep track of my daughter while she is on the bus or for going to crowded places. I opted for the Protect plan as well and she can push a button to alert me when she is in trouble. I have more peace of mind knowing that I can get her location easier and notify dispatch of her location if needed. Wish I bought it sooner. Better late than never.
95% of the people commenting on here, came here for the safety of their child. The other 5% with negative comments are either pedophiles or are 10 year olds telling parents not to get this.
R u going to talk about the brands? How r we supposed to know what they r?
This is mentally sick, gonna leave your kid with trust issues for life
The idiots that wrote “trust issues” never had a child go missing. In my case my son on his first day of kindergarten ran away from the school.
Thankfully good people caught him in the houses around the school and took him back. The worse experience ever for our first son on his first day.
Think before writing something extremely stupid and ignorant. There’s also autistic kids and other needs.
Just had a baby and I am already thinking about school etc. I want a tracker that I can hide in a shoe or even a hair clip of r necklace. Kidnappers will probably toss backpacks or even a pin I can attach to clothing under a collar. Sigh
Why would you track your kid? It’s kind of okay when they are young, but at 13+?! Let them have freedoom
what brand is the screenless phone?
They need to developed it more :)👍🏻🤍
Where can I find a non-detachable wearable tracking device? I need one for my sister with schizophrenia
nice video
Buyer beware! When we needed performance the most Jiobit pet tracker didn’t perform at all! The device got hot during charging and stopped working. Unfortunately we were out of town at the time and didn’t realize there was an issue until our dog sitter called us in distress to tell us our girl was out of the yard roaming the neighborhood. We were stressed and helpless away from home. Luckily our baby was found 5 hours later. But the worry and stress ruined our vacation. We’ve only had the product for less than a month. My family member is not safe using this product. Useless.
Jiobit is 8.99 a month for a 2 year contract
ist good
The problem if the kidnaper already now about they just gonna dump it …
Which one is best if your only using it for 2 days a week? I have a 4 y.o. with ASD and I liked the angel sense, but once I saw the more discreet one the last one. That assured me it’s more tamper proof. Where can I get that one? Thank you
I watch a lot of Criminal Minds episodes.. it is the reason I’m watching your video now… I would do anything to keep my kids safe. Thank you for sharing this with us. I and many more parents appreciate it.
We must have something like a chip hidden inside body.
I bought an airtag for my daughter she’s 6. And she wears it like a watch. One one hand I’m iffy about it because I feel over protective/ and even kinda intrusive to an extent. On the other hand if (God forbid) my daughter were to get lost somewhere somehow or even kidnapped ! I’d have some shot at knowing her location
Thank-you 😊

Finally a sensible video
And we’re FindMyKids fans, we’re already taking our third child. GPS tracker, parental control, and everything works very accirately, thought out to the smallest detail.
We used the RELAY, it’s horrible, NO REAL TIME TRACKING, it can go up to 5-10 mins before it updates it’s location. The 2 way talk is NOT a walkie Talkie, it records an audio and sends it to the device waiting for it to be played, the whole process is terrible, I unsubscribed to the service and threw it in a box. Don’t waste your time or $$ in this.
Just to be clear, those devices don’t just send updates to you "through an app." An app is just a user interface. The devicesl rely on some type of data link (cellular like LTE or something). And the data link is almost always a monthly subscription which ultimately is with a major cell carrier. Would be helpful to elaborate on that. Only devices I’m aware of that don’t need a cellular link is Tile, Apple airpods, Samsung airtags. There are other off brands as well.
God sent, thank you 🙏🏻
Just bought the Angel Sense thanks to you! Exactly what I was looking for. My son is autistic, non communicative and starting kindergarten! This eases my worries just a smidge, so thank you so much!
Does it a cell phone number line?
This is a great video and I think you should update it and expand on it with service reviews because if you Google some of the devices to look for reviews there’s some pretty bad ones. It will really suck to spend a lot of money on a device that has bad service and support especially ones with a monthly fee. One bad one is the Angel Sense if you look.
No one is good . I need very slim, like neckless, waterproof , 7 days battery life . Great connectivity and accuracy . Whatever it’s 1000$ cost . It this product is available in your list . Then tell me
My initial worry was that Black Mirror episode, but technology hasn’t come that far… yet… either way, thanks for the info. I’ll probably purchase a wearable, seems most convenient.
But, seriously, check out that Black Mirror stuff, that was messed up.
Omg thank you
i want to have children with many acres of land. Would they possibly use it against me for asking them to wear them??? It would only be for their protection. Can someone tell me why they feel bad or good about this idea?
I went to the relay site and it says it is $9.99 per month.
Pls explain how this isn’t a breach of privacy and trust
I been thinking on using a Sea turtle tracker, for my sister. Their very odd, and I was thinking if you could show some of those. I wanted to check them out, before buying them, or asking my mother to buy it.
A little girls in our community walked off this week. There were hundreds of people and even helicopters looking. They found her about three hours later. She really needs something like this. I’m just not sure she would keep it on her. My wife was her preschool teacher. She is definitely a challenge.
How to develop trust issues with your kids
I like the watch i want to get for my niece and nephew when we are going out
Many thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing been searching for the right one. Recently came across a sad story in San Jose where a 3 year old was abducted. Wondering if devices can secure comfortable to a child and only having access for the parent to remove the device. These product seem to be easy to remove for anyone and it a hard situation this might not play a key role.
Great video but the Smart B’zT it’s a Bluetooth and not a GPS tracker, the Jiobit has a 13$ monthly subscription.
Thank you for this video
Where do you buy the patches? I can’t find them anywhere
Thank You for the review and info on the angelsense gps. I am really leaning towards this for my special needs son. Though I dont think I would worry about him losing it 😀. It is a gps lol. Honest mistake Im sure. Thank You again for the helpfull info.
Hahaha monthly payments from $52 with a fee of $32, annual plan of $33 and a fee of $19 hahahaha
I may have missed it, but what is the name of the pink wearable?
