I'm looking into this Angel Sense for my son. The last two summers he has had incidents where he has gotten out of our yard and been found running down a major road. I have child-proof handles on all my interior door handles, but he has recently figured out how take those off. He will not wear one of those bracelets. I'm desperate to keep him safe...Has anyone used this product?
Yes! We love it! It has metal fasteners so it can attach to clothing instead of being a wristlet. The ones through the PD are likely Project Lifesaver or similar devices. They aren't generally GPS, but radio transmitters. I was working on bringing them to the area, but long story short, I no longer have time to advocate.
AngelSense has been great! They have a great deal going for 6 more days that the regular $150 handset is now $10, with one month of service ($40). If you're considering it, do it. The price is right. They also have a 30 day money back guarantee. We even had issues with our device getting service in our area, and they replaced with a different type of device free of charge. They're absolutely wonderful and the app is easy to use and very customizable. You can add guardians that also get notified every time your child leaves an area (other than yourself) and put in information for family/friends/EMS to get notified when you put it into "running" mode, which updates in real time (every 10 seconds) and you have an option to listen into the handset. The features are GREAT and the price this month is SO right!
I have a tracker that is through our local police department I didn't think my daughter would wear it either but she has gotten used to it and is fine with it now.
