Dear Lord.
It can happen anywhere—at an amusement park, zoo, school field trip, museum, or even your local shopping mall. Your attention shifts for a moment, and suddenly your child or loved one has wandered out of sight.
So put the odds in your favor for a safe return, with SafetyTat. Designed by a graphics professional and Mom of three kids, SafetyTat is a fun and colorful temporary tattoo that’s uniquely personalized with your phone number. When applied to the arm of your child or loved one, SafetyTat provides an immediate, highly visible form of identification that stays in place even when wet and lasts for days.
Are you scaaaaaared yet, mommy and daddy?
I’m cheap, and I guess ahead of my time. When we went anywhere w/ crowds, be it an amusement park, convention, etc., we merely wrote our name and cell phone # on the kid’s arm with Sharpie. Stays on even in the pool. And two of my ADDH kids were leashed until they were 8. When they outgrew toddler harnesses, I bought webbing and sewed my own industrial ones. We have pictures of Mickey Mouse tying a kid to a lamp post. Never lost one. Supervision – a quaint old-fashioned concept. Now, with teens, I’m more in favor of a GPS tracking chip…
I used to put a piece of paper in my child’s pocket with my cell phone # on it.. I love SafetyTat. …and so does my child!!
i think you can never be TOO CAREFUL when it comes to your children.
Leashes, GPS tracking chips & Sharpies… that’s your “quaint old-fashioned” approach to supervision & parenting??? God, I’m getting old.
Before anyone opts for using a Sharpie on their children’s skin you might want to read these articles:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharpie_(marker)
Excerpt: “According to the manufacturer’s safety data sheets (MSDS), various Sharpies contain: n-propanol[citation needed], n-butanol[4][5][6], diacetone alcohol[7], xylene[8], and cresol[9][10]. The first of these, n-propanol, is commonly used in cosmetics. The other four, however, are industrial solvents, chemicals that should not be sniffed, eaten, or put on the skin. As solvents they penetrate the skin and fingernails, and do enter the bloodstream.”
Please folks, don’t use markers on your children’s skin unless specifically labeled for that purpose.
Don’t forget formaldehyde. As in most things, small amounts once or twice a year is not going to harm anything. I’m not talking infants. There are greater risks from your food additives and the unregulated lead in your “healthy” vitamins.
Yes. When you are in a public place shopping with a hyperactive 6 year old and an autistic who is hyperactive at a psychotic level and strong enough to knock you off your feet, the 6-year old gets the leash, because if you turn your head to deal with the autistic who is crawling on the floor to pick up the popcorn somebody’s kid dropped, the 6 year old will take off. I have two eyes and two hands. Alone in public, I need more than that.
The GPS was a joke, people. I don’t think it’s quite legal yet.
