Today we are doing a review for my friend Cynthia of Chicks And Cubs. We were asked to review a selection of child safety products so I asked the help of my children to ensure proper testing.
I didn’t include photos in this review because my child ID information is all over them and they were too small to just blur their info, so for safety reasons, I didn’t include the photos but when you click on the links in each section you can see some wonderful in depth photos of each item.
I will be doing an update to this review after a few upcoming events to really showcase the usefullness of these products!

The first item we tested was the Yellow Disposable ID Brecelet Kit. ($8.00 for a 10 pack – great deal) These yellow bracelets are perfect for a one time use for field trips, trips to the zoo, camping out with family, etc. I wrote Zoo Trip on the outside and my daughters info on the inside so that ‘bad’ people wouldn’t know right away that it was a child ID device. I think this is great since most fairs and zoo’s and family fun places have the colored bracelets for admission, so a potential bad person wouild never guess that this is a child safety product. Granted, my handwriting was not superb on this go around, you receive 10 so if you mess up, just do another one! Write on your bracelet with a fine tip Sharpie® marker and you’re good to go! No noticeable smudging, this bracelet works great! Each bracelet is a single use item that is to be torn off afterwards and disposed of. For one time trips this is a great item without a lot of cost. Its bright yellow color makes it easy to spot your child if they wander away from you for a moment plus their information is written inside so once they find a trusted adult (parker employee or policeman) they can notify them that their contact information is written inside.

The second item was the Child Safety Shoe sticker. ($10 for 20 stickers and a fine tip marker). While I totally agree this is a FABULOUS idea and a fantastic product, we didn’t have the best results. I am going to take the blame on this one because I attached the sticker to the inside SIDE of my sons shoe and the material was sort of like Jersey material. It just did not want to stick and by the time I realized I should have stuck it on the bottom of the inside, I had ruined the one sticker I had. :0( This item is a great product though with lines for mother and fathers work and home numbers. Who would ever guess your child had their ID inside their shoe? It makes the perfect hiding place for your childs Identification. I really did like this product and only wish I had a better chance to test it.

The third product and one of my most absolute favorites was the Car Seat ID. ($10 for 4) These are WONDERFUL! Each card has a place for your childs photo, thumbprint and all of their ID information including allergies, weight/height and contact numbers. It is 2 sided and goes inside a self-laminating card that attaches with Velcro®
The laminated card attaches to the side of your childs carseat so Emergency workers can immediately have all their information at hand in case of an accident. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this products and think it is one of the best child safety/identification inventions yet. If your child is too big to ride in a carseat, get some anyway and place them in handy noticeable location in your car or in the glove compartment with a note on the driver door to look there in case of emergency.

Our last product for review is the Child Safety ID Inside Bracelet available in blue or pink. Again this is another amazing product. Similar to the Yellow Disposable bracelet, you can include all your childs contact info on the bracelet but the best features are that they are hidden within an inside pocket so no one that doesn’t need to know, doesn’t! My son loves the blue one he received. His class has a fiield trip in the near future and he has asked me if he can wear it. OF COURSE HE CAN! It is stylish and will last and last. This bracelet can be worn to any event that your child may be attending. We have a cookout coming up soon at a park as well as a campout trip and he will definitely be wearing it then as well. For $8.00 (currently on sale) you are investing in a wonderful and inexpensive child identification device that will last and be effective.

I thank Cynthia for introducing my family to these wonderful Child Identification products. As a mother with school aged children and young ones in car seats, I truly value these products and the service they provide to families. They are, in a word, invaluable!

I would also like to take a moment to tell you a little about a wonderful giveaway Cynthia is having on her site. It is called Loot 4 Mama and when you enter, you will win a coupon to her site and a coupon ebook and be eligiable for weekly, monthly, quarterly and the Grand Prize of $130 gift certificate for Baby Shoe Bronzing which is also an available service on her site. Shoe bronzing is such a great way to preserve a memory for your baby. (My mother-in-law had my hubby’s baby shoes bronzed years ago. I can’t believe how tiny they are!!!!)
