If you're the parent of a special-needs child, you know staying within the boundaries can be a battle, and trusting your kid to keep a smartwatch or clip-on device attached to her body is also an iffy proposition. Enter AngelSense, a GPS tracking device and specialized mobile phone designed specifically for kids with sensory issues or other special needs. What does that mean? AngelSense's cell-enabled tracker attaches securely to clothes with a special, locking clip and, unlike a regular phone, the device automatically answers calls and broadcasts through a speaker without the kid having to press any buttons.
For parents worried about wandering wee ones, there's a warning system to immediately notify them if their child has left a particular location. In addition, an alarm feature allows parents to trigger a siren to help locate their kid in a crowd. Other features include live tracking GPS (parents get a text message every time kids depart and arrive at various destinations) and a "Listen In" feature that lets parents hear what is going on around their kids at any given time.
Best for ages: 2+.
Cost: $119 plus $39.99 for monthly cell service that includes the "Listen In" feature.
