Child Safety Alarm Tips

Until you have a child you probably never thought of putting an alarm on your toddler.  The truth is that there are many types of alarms you will probably want to look into that will keep your children safe in varied situations.  From the door opening in the middle of the night to an unwanted swimmer in the pool….you want to know that you will always be alerted if trouble is brewing. 

Most child alarms have a receiver for the caregiver and a transmitter for the child.  If the alarm is used on their body, it usually can be hidden in the midst of a cartoon character but will sound an alarm if your child moves an unsafe distance away from you. Door alarms are similar but are set to sound if door access is breeched for any reason.

 

What to Do if Regular Cabinet Locks Don’t Work

If you have the most curious of toddlers and cabinet locks just don’t seem to be doing the trick, it may be time to think about installing cabinet alarms.  For about $10 you can buy a two pack set of alarms that easily install on your cabinets.  When the door is opened, the alarm will ring informing you that your little one is up to mischief.  This can be extremely useful on gun cabinets or places where cleaners or medications are kept. 

How to Ensure Your Child Won’t Come Up Missing

Most parents have nightmares about losing their children.  Unfortunately it happens to many people.  One minute they are standing right in front of you and the next they have vanished into thin are.  A child locater alarm can fit onto your child’s shoe while you hold on to the transmitter. 

If your child is not around you simply press a button and loud beeping sound is emitted on the receiver that is attached to your child.  They usually can field a distance of up to 150 feet and are a great way to locate a child or let other adults know that your child is in danger.  If you have to use it, you will never regret your purchase. 

Which Alarm Alerts you to an unattended Submersion

As much fun as it is to have a pool, it can also be a headache when you have young children.  They lack the depth perception and the ability to foresee danger that can easily lead to them being accidentally submerged.  Of course child proof gates and fences are one barrier but another even more powerful tool is the installation of a pool alarm. 

Some of the alarms are wired to use infrared sensors that will sound when someone is in the water and others have motion sensors that can detect unusual movement in the water.  Either way, if your child is submerged you do not have much time to respond.  These alarms can spark the quick response necessary to save your child from drowning.

Why You Should Always Install Back Up Alarms on Your Car

Believe it or not many kids are injured each year in their own driveway.  Kids are infamous for running behind moving cars putting themselves in danger.  If you have ever been in a day care or school pick up line you know how random kid’s behavior is in parking lots. 

Having an alarm that will sound if something is detected behind your car is a great way to make sure that you never accidentally hit a child.  There are also alarms that will sound if the temperature inside your vehicle is too hot while a child is still in the car.  Either way these simple to use and easy to install alarms can be found at most automotive retailers and are definitely worth the money.
