Every time we take the kids places I get a slight fear of losing them.
I always keep them close by and watch them as closely as possible, of course, but there has been a time or two that I had a close call. My daughter loves to run off at her brothers baseball games just as I’m watching him come up to the plate. She is one of those fearless kids who has almost zero stranger danger. I worry about her much more than I do my son who is eager to stay close to us.
There are some really great ideas to feel more safe when you are out with your kids and to help find them if they do run off. I hope that never, ever happens, but if nothing else, these ideas will help you feel a bit more at ease. (affiliates included)
Ideas and Gadgets to Keeping Kids Safe When You’re Out

If you’re in a hurry, you can make a quicker version with duct tape.
My Buddy Tag is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. It works with your smart phone and alerts you if your child is out of your proximity or if they have been submerged in water (great when around a beach/pool/lake), and there is a panic button in case the child needs to signal you.
The Mommy I’m Here child locator attaches to their shoestrings and works with a keychain you keep with you. If you feel you have misplaced your child, push the button and the bear on their shoestrings will emit a loud beep.
Set how far you will allow your child to go on The Guardian Protection alarm. If the alarm goes off, a row of LED’s light sequentially to indicate in which direction the child has strayed.
Tile is a gadget I learned about a few months ago and loved it. It is the perfect way to find anything you may lose, including your kids. It works with your phone to locate precisely where your child is. You can attach these to your keys or anything else you misplace on occasion.
The Pocket Finder is ideal for older children who are away from you during the day. The small locator helps you watch where they are by map coordinates on your phone or computer. This is great for kids who walk to and from school!
