A parents' worst fear is to lose a child in a crowd! With SmartKidsID HELP is just a SCAN away!
It is a parents' worst fear to get separated from their little one in a crowded place! A visit to an amusement park can turn into a parents’ worst nightmare quickly!
It just takes a split second to get separated - statistics state that the chances of getting separated while visiting an amusement park are as likely as 1 in 3 kids.
Parents have come up with great ideas to keep little ones safe, but a San Diego mom of three combined it all and created a safe and very simple solution. It is called SmartKidsID.
SmartKidsID are wearable child Id products like fashionable Id wristbands and Id shoe tags that each comes pre-engraved with a unique QR Code that can be linked to a child’s online profile. This is the newest technology available on the market right now.
Reuniting a lost child with the parents has never been easier. Here are some advantages:
1. Quick access to information - A helper can access the parents contact information or medical information with a smartphone (every free QR Code Reader App) within a few seconds or call the 24/7 live operator to get connected to the child’s parents. (Please try to scan the Test QR Code you find in the picture gallery)
2. It is very discreet - A child’s emergency information is safely hidden behind the QR Code and not visible to casual onlookers.
3. It is a Medical Id as well! Parents can store as much information as needed about any medical condition of their child as well!
4. Set up on the go - The unique QR Code can be activated with a secret code right on the go when purchased and there is no engraving necessary. Set-up can be done in a few steps using a smartphone using the SmartKidsID App that can be downloaded free of charge in the ITunes and Google Play Store.
5. Right after the QR Code is scanned the account holder will get a notification email with the GPS location of the helper's phone (if the helper allows it).
6. It is reusable and waterproof - Id information can be updated as often as needed online - This means that parents don’t have to buy another product every time information changes.
7. With the free SmartKidsID App parents can take a picture of their little one right before entering the park and give a detailed description of the child to staff in case the child gets separated from the parents.
SmartKidsID products are very affordable and are just half the price of comparable items on the market. Id Wristbands are $14.95 and Shoe Tags $9.95. There is no membership or monthly fees associated!
SmartKidsID has even more to offer:
When a child is lost or goes missing, parents in panic usually can’t think straight - But SmartKidsID offers a free App where parents can create a child id. This App has an implemented feature to send a “Missing Child Alert” to authorities in one click! The alert includes identifying characteristics the parents stored when creating the child's Id profile including a picutre of the child! Parents can now literally carry their kids Id profile with them all the time!
The SmartKidsID Child Id App is free for everyone. Information is safely stored on our password protected and encrypted page!
We urge parents to be pro-active and be prepared for the unthinkable!
If this can make a difference in one child’s life it is worth the incremental cost.
About SmartKidsID
San Diego, CA based SmartKidsID is owned by Liv & Leo, Inc. a company founded by a mom of three (ages 6, 3 and 1) out of the need of providing cost efficient solutions that improve child safety and shortens first responders’ reaction time.
Why we are not a GPS/Tracking device - yet?
Our long-term goal is to combine SmartKidsID with a GPS/or other tracking device. BUT as of now we decided not to use any GPS devices with our system for the following reasons:
1. GPS Devices need SIM cards that are associated with a monthly contract. (Like a regular cell phone plan) and are too costly for parents. ($10/ Month is the least we could find)
2. GPS devices have to send signals - therefor the device needs a battery. The life of batteries used in GPS devices do not exceed 48 hours what means that the device needs to be recharged at least every 2 days.
3. GPS devices available on the market are too bulky for kids right now so it would be uncomfortable to wear every day.
4. Portals used for GPS devices right now are very complicated and hard to set up.
5. The GPS devices itself are too costly - Retail prices for GPS start from around $100.
OUR GOAL IS TO FIND SOMETHING WE CAN COMBINE WITH OUR SYSTEM IN THE FUTURE THAT IS AFFORDABLE AND CAN BE OFFERED AT A REASONABLE PRICE!!
Where does your funding go!
No matter how many people will fund this campaign - you will get your perk! We received our first shipment and items are ready to ship now!
Liv & Leo, Inc. will use every single penny to improve the SmartKidsID system, order more inventory and get SmartKidsID positioned in the market!
We will not stop until SmartKidsID is an affordable device that keeps our kids safe in any available way. But it has to be reasonable and affordable to everyone!
We created something that has so much more potential than we had ever imagined. Please help us turn our visions into reality!
SmartKidsID is a very visual product that needs to be placed on every counter of every kids store, gift store, children's boutique and toy store - This is product is meant for every child - every day! It has so much potential and can save a child's life!
We also need to start marketing campaigns that are much more expensive than we had planned! After going to the Kids Expo & Fair in October, our next big step is to go to the ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas in April to get connected to buyers of big retail companies! A booth for 3 days costs 2000 Dollars.
Meanwhile we will do a lot of foot work to already get connected to local retail stores.
What we created means a great relieve for parents and also for the community! But for now it is the most important thing to spread the word and let people know about it!
Everyone with a phone can help a child and shorten the trauma every child experiences when being separated from the parents!
