The Destination Alert Feature On The Amber Alert GPS Device

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 4:17 pm

As kids get older they want to be given more and more independence so they can do things on their own. It starts with little things like kids wanting to feed themselves and grows to bigger things like wanting to ride their bike to school. For parents it can be hard to give up doing these things for their child but allowing them to grow up is something that must happen even if the chances of them getting hurt are there.

For parents who have a child who wants to start walking to school or riding their bike alone to school there is a little peace of mind they can purchase to make this little bit of freedom easier to give to their child. The Amber Alert GPS child locator is a handy device that allow parents to find the exact location of their child at any given time. While this is a comforting device that is easy to use and small enough that it can be worn around the neck or wrist of the child it has several great features that make it even more handy than just simple personal tracking.

The device also includes a destination alert which parents can program into the web interface that will send an alert to their cell phone when their child arrives at any chosen destination. Now when a child heads off to school parents will not have to worry about if they arrived safely or not since this GPS tracking device will alert them that they did either via cell phone or email. The peace of mind makes giving a child some freedom as they get older a little easier to do despite the fact we all want to kesep our children young and safe.

Amber Alert GPS in Hong Kong!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 11:16 am

As most of you probably know, Amber Alert GPS is not just a product for North America. We have distributors all over the world. We just got these pics from our distributor for the Far East and they are of buses in Hong Kong. If you look closely you’ll see the Amber Alert GPS logo on the outside of the buses. Pretty cool, eh? Well, there is a huge demand for tracking devices outside of the USA. We get all the Amber Alert news here, but in other countries kidnapping and missing kids/adults is like an epidemic. One fellow we do business with is from Venezuela, and he has been abducted 3 times!! People are abducted and then a ransom is placed on them for their safe return. That is how some scoundrels make money in other countries.

How Do You Attach The Amber Alert To A Child?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 1:07 pm

The Amber Alert GPS child locator is a amazing device for parents who need a little help keeping track of their child and want to possibly prevent the unthinkable of happening to them as well. But of course this device will not work and do its job if it is not with the child. So attaching it to them is important for it to be effective and there are many different ways this can be done.

Amber Alert not only sells a excellent product for parents to use with their children but they also sell plenty of accessories that make attaching it to a child simple and effective. While the personal tracking device can just be placed in their backpack parents need to remember that should they lose their backpack the device will no longer be with them for tracking.

Some of the most popular ways for a child to carry this little unit is by wearing it as a necklace or a bracelet so that it is securely attached to them at all times. Another popular method is a pouch that attaches to their belt on their pants  which places it on them but not right up against their skin.

These accessories are made just for the Amber Alert so parents can be assured that they will hold the unit perfectly. Trying to use generic pouches and items that are designed for phones or other devices may not hold this personal tracking device as well. This could end up with the tiny little device falling out or getting lost where it may or may not be found again. With a large assortment of accessories available there is something for every kid to use each day with their GPS tracking device.

Stranger Danger Awareness For Kids

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:09 am

While the Amber Alert GPS child locator is one of the most accurate ways to find a child quickly in the event of the unthinkable, all parents who purchase one hope they will never have to use it. With a little work with kids the chances are they will do exactly what is needed of them in the event they are ever faced with a dangerous situation involving a stranger.

Most of us remember as kids we were taught to never talk to strangers and to definitely never take anything from them whether it is candy or even toys. But the strangers of today do seem to be a little smarter and so kids of today need to be smarter as well.

Many strangers today will try and trick a child into thinking their parents sent them to pick up the child. Often times the story is somewhat convincing especially if the stranger can arm themselves with information that may be posted on the internet. Many families choose to use a safe word that must be used by anyone other than the usual person who picks up the kids. If the person does not know the safe word than at no time should a child go anywhere with that person.
This is one tactic to protect children against strangers so that hopefully a child GPS tracking device will not be needed to find them after a kidnapping. Other strategies is to make sure kids always travel in groups and work to protect each other by staying together. As effective as the Amber Alert GPS is at finding children nobody ever wants to use the device to do this. Parents who buy one hope that it is peace of mind only and nothing they will ever actually have to use.

Using The Amber Alert Child Locator While On Camping Trips

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:01 am

Many families enjoy spending time outside together on camping trips and there is no better way to get away from it all and experience quality time that is hard to come by these days. But for some families this fun trip can sometimes turn into scary events that do not always end well. It can be so easy for a child of any age to wander off from camp and get lost in the woods where finding them can be difficult. To make matters worse local search and rescue teams do take time to get organized and this can potentially place the child exposed to overnight conditions.

Families that use a Amber Alert GPS child locator device in their daily lives will find that this unit despite being designed for suburban use will many times work in rural areas as well. For many users they will discover that if there cell phone will work where they choose to camp then they can access the coordinates of the tracking device to find a lost child quickly.

Though not a guarantee, depending on where the family is camping, this GPS tracking unit can potentially help parents find a child that has wandered off from camp quickly to prevent them from spending a cold night outside. If the child has gotten hurt while they were lost it can also help them get the medical attention they truly need faster in order to take care of them the best.

While not a substitute for staying together in the first place or even for a well trained search and rescue team, this GPS tracking device can help get kids home faster and keep them safe both at home and when away with the family.

Should Kids Talk To Strangers When Lost?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — admin @ 1:06 pm

While the Amber Alert GPS child locator is effective at finding lost children there is still that moment of fear for kids when they realize that they do not know where they are at. While we teach our children not to talk to strangers in normal everyday life we then tell them to go to a policeman or person of authority should they find themselves lost. This can be confusing for kids, but many authorities are telling parents that a child approaching a stranger is most often in no danger at all.

Kids need to understand the difference between a stranger approaching them when they are not in distress as opposed to them approaching someone when they need help. When a stranger approaches a child the odds are very high that their intentions are not good. But most people are not bad and the average person a child runs into when they are lost will be loving and supportive in attempts to help them find their way back to their parents. Many teach that kids should approach women first since more often than not their mothering instinct will kick in and they will want to do all they can to help.

Parents need to work with their children in practice sessions in the home for both situations. Studies have shown that kids who know what to do and have practiced how to handle strangers both in danger and for help are better prepared should they need to use it one day. While no parent wants their child to ever get lost and a personal tracking device can help find them quickly a smart child that knows exactly what to do will be able to keep the situation under control until they get reunited with their parents again.

What Does The New Amber Alert GPS 2G Cost? Is That The Right Question?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 2:12 pm

OK, after the “How Does It Work Question”, it seems like the #1 question on everyone’s mind is the “Price Question”.

In other words… what is this new-fangled, life-saving Amber Alert GPS 2G child tracking device going to cost?

That seems like a fair enough question…

BUT IT’S THE WRONG QUESTION !!!!!

Now I don’t want to be too hard on you here - I know that you probably have a budget to work around and you want to save as much money as possible on everything you by. Heck, we all do that!

You are probably thinking “How can I afford this 2G child tracking device with all the expenses I already have to pay every month?”

Well, that is where everyone is all turned around. The real question you should be asking is:

“How much is my child’s life worth and how much is my own peace of mind worth?”

You see, having an accurate child tracking device could go so far as to save your child’s life…do you fully and completely get that? The “price” of a product compared to the “value” of your child are totally different things. You have heard the old statement “You can’t put a price on your child’s life”. Well, that certainly may be cliche but it applies, wouldn’t you agree?

There are some things that you learn to spend every month that you can’t live without, even though, at the time, you wondered if it was really worth it.

Think of a cell phone, for those of you who have one, or the internet,which pretty much everyone reading this blog post has in their home or business. I remember wondering why I needed a cell phone or why I needed high speed internet. Now, I can’t imagine living without them. As a matter of fact, my whole business revolves around cell phones and internet to run this Amber Alert GPS business. I KNOW that you will feel the same way about the 2G child tracking device once you start using it every day.

Here is a comment from someone on this very blog:

” I’m willing to pay $200-$400 to insure my child’s safety, this is very important to me. Even if I need to cut back in other areas to make sure I can afford this.

Then again I have a child that is 10 years old and has little to no verbal communication.

I see this as an absolute must in my circumstance.”

Do you see where I am going here?

For the last couple of weeks I have been trying to change the way you look at child safety and the devices that are available to ensure it. It truly is a tool to keep your children safe, not to mention to give you peace of mind all day long.

It should be a hedge against abductors, sexual abusers, pedophiles, and, much more commonly, against poor decision-making skills of our little children. It is really an investment that will pay for itself over and over with each day you get to spend with your smiling, carefree, and precious child. It should never be considered an expense.

Now, having said all this, I can tell you that we are putting together a special August launch package only for those folks who have signed up for our Child Safety Tips newsletter (go here to sign up now, if you haven’t done so already: http://www.amberalertgps.com/free_ebook.html ).

We are still working on the details of it, but I should be able to present it to you within the next week. It will include promotional discount pricing as well as some bonus gifts that will make getting started very affordable!

To Your Child’s Safety,

Ensuring Children Know Emergency Numbers!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 9:53 am

Kids can do some amazing things and sometimes we as parents hold them back because we think we are protecting them or we do not want them to grow up. Yet we hear great stories on the news of kids that do heroic things to save others when many felt they were too young to have done so. One of the many ways kids help people is by calling for help when the adult they are with cannot.

Ensuring your child knows how to call for help on a phone can not only help in case of emergency it can also greatly help in case they are ever lost from home. Whether it is simply 911 they are learning, a home phone number, or even how to access the numbers in a cell phone this can be a great help in case of emergency.

Of course kids should also know the address of where they live so that if they are calling for help or are lost they can give this vital piece of information to the adult who is helping them. Even the youngest children can learn these vital pieces of information and know when to use them if only parents take the time to make sure they teach it to them.

Hope this helps! By the way, we have some exciting news coming out soon about the new Amber Alert GPS 2G child locator unit! I will keep you posted. Also, did you know that we were on TV again? Check out the clips from San Francisco and Sacramento TV on our home page. You will see a little video menu right smack dab in the middle of our home page at the top.
