Kiddo child proximity alarm locator

February 23, 2008

Smart Target has developed a wireless proximity alarm system designed to boost child safety by helping parents quickly locate wayward young ones and keep them within a pre-set “virtual fence”.

The Kiddo Kidkeeper system consists of a transmitter which is attached to the child and a receiver which is carried by the adult. The adult sets the maximum distance a child can wander to, if the child moves outside this area the Kiddo emits a warning sound and the transmitter shows a visual signal allowing the adult to retrieve the child quickly.

There are two monitoring distances to choose from, the short distance has a radius of 4 meters (approx. 13 feet) which is suitable for busy areas such as shopping centers with obstacles such as streets or stairs and also if the child is young or hyperactive. The long distance has a radius of 8 meters (approx. 26 feet) and is suited for more peaceful settings like a park or playground. The Kiddo is also capable of monitoring up to four children at once, with each child having a different beeping sound.

    Hi there,

    I was able to purchase this product during a trip to Portugal and I have to say that I’m really impressed. I can now feel much safer and confortable with my two young boys… You know how they are…

    Summing up, I believe that for 80 euros (about the price it costed me) it’s a must have for any parent.

    After all they are our first priority and the future of this world.

    Kisses,
    Mary Ledger
