‘Little Buddy Child Tracker’ GPS device keeps tabs on your kid
October 28, 2009Insignia “Little Buddy Child Tracker” GPS Tracker for kids
Best Buy is selling a transmitting device that lets parents keep track of their children. It called “Little Buddy Child Tracker” from Insignia. Parents can place the device (GPS Tracker) in a child’s backpack or lunch box, for example. The “Little Buddy Child Tracker” retails for $100 (far less than other devices that sell for $200 to $500). It combines global satellite positioning and cellular technology to signal the child’s whereabouts to a computer or smartphone.
Parents can program the device to set up specific times and locations where the child is supposed to be — in school or at home, for example — and the device sends a text message if the child leaves the site in that time.
The device immediately drew angry writeups from some techies, who called it a reason for children to run away from home.
