I’ll admit that I’ve never actually tried the Gigglebug Tracker, but I definitely like the idea. You just clip the Gigglebug onto your child’s clothing, and kep the transmitter close at hand. If you lose sight of your little wanderer, just press the button and a loud, child-friendly beep sounds. It’s cute, clever, and would keep me from having a heart attack every time my son decides to follow the lady who brought her dog to Safeway.

The Doodle Pro is a wonderful thing. It’s almost like a an Etch-a-Sketch, but for younger kids. It’s definitely a great time-waster for little ones while at restaurants waiting for food to arrive, or in the back seat in traffic, or on an airplane… There are many times where you just need a few minutes!
