I worry that in today's day and age something could happen to my daughter. It's not that I'm a helicopter parent but I do worry. The world has changed in not a good way, you have to worry about your children safety more than when we were growing up. What parent doesn't worry about their children nowadays?
I want my daughter to always be able to be in touch with me if the need arises. But she is 8 years old, I don't feel like a cell phone is what she needs right now, maybe we can save a cell phone for later when she is a little older. This sent me on the hunt for a reliable device she could contact me on, that I could trust, felt safe with her using and was trackable to her whereabouts.
When given the opportunity to test Relay. I jumped at the chance. Relay has a SMARTER device for kids and works the same way as a walkie talkie. Except for Relay in works on Wifi and on 4G LTE networks just like a phone, that is screen-free. This means my daughter and I could be separated by miles and we could stay in contact with each other.
Relay has become the go-to device in our home. You can wear it with a lanyard, clip it to a belt loop or backpack. It is rugged and waterproof. Now my daughter can go places and still be in contact with me. She can leave a message with me as a voice mail or I can send a message directly from the free app on my phone. If ever she is in trouble, she can send me an SOS over the Relay device. I received it with a code to let me know that my child needs me or is in trouble. Also, with it being GPS trackable, I can know exactly where she is at any given time. How much does that help to ease our minds as parents?
The Relay can now give you and your child peace of mind. You can send your children back to school knowing that you or your child can stay in contact at any time. It has an alternative to a smartphone, with all the great feature but not feel like you are giving your children a distractable device with a phone.
