Who says you can�t buy peace of mind?: "As a parent with two young children, I am always conscientious of their location and the people around them. Of course, both of my children are under the age of two, so keeping them close at hand isn�t as difficult as it would be if they were a bit older. Fortunately, companies like Hop-on are helping parents like me keep �track� of their children.
The ChitterChatter KidsPhone is a cross between GSM wrist-phone and GPS, and while I�m not crazy about the design that they�ve chosen (is that chamoflauge?), the concept hits the nail on the head for today�s marketplace. From their site:
Whether at work, home or traveling, simply use the Internet or any phone with SMS capabilities to quickly identify the location of the device within 300+ feet, in approximately 1 minute. The ChitterChatter Phone allows kids to stay in touch with close family and friends, or send their location by pressing the one-touch star button � while letting parents manage costs. The ChitterChatter Phone is the world�s smallest GSM / Enhanced Location-Based-Services(LBS) Locator Phone and provides a totally unique and affordable way for families with pre-teens, seniors, or those with special medical needs, to stay connected and in contact with each other. In addition to LBS, the phone features a speaker function for ease of use. The slim, small and lightweight ChitterChatter Phone can fit almost anywhere�from a backpack, purse, pocket, around your neck or even wear it on your wrist like a watch.
Which in a nutshell means that you can talk to or find your children with the touch of a button - and they can contact you - which really means that over-protective parents like me can watch their children without sac"
