A few days ago I had the most horrible 5 minutes of my life.

My family and I decided to go out for a meal so we went to the local pizzeria. My 3-year old was playing around our table and at some point he disappeared. After 5 minutes of searching inside and outside on the street, we found him in the pizzeria – in a room designated for kids play. He was next to us all the time. You can imagine what thoughts were running through my head while I was walking from one table to the other asking people if they had seen my son.

Right after this experience, I decided to get him a kids GPS tracking device. I thought the best option would be something that he can also use to play with so I browsed kids watches.

As I was searching for the best kids GPS tracking watch, I compiled a list of top 5, based on various features.

# Picture Brand Price
1 iCoolive $45.99
2 Themoemoe $30.99
3 Owl Cole $37.99
4 Synmila $46.79
5 GreaSmart $34.69

 

iCoolive

iCoolive is the best kids GPS tracking watch for me. It has one feature that is an absolute must if my child is playing with it – it is waterproof.

The smart watch uses double positioning technology – GPS and LBS. The combination of the two helps for a more accurate location tracking. LBS stands for Location Based Services and needs mobile network to work.

The watch is unlocked which means it works everywhere as long as 2G network is available. You need to insert a SIM card.

This GPS tracker gadget comes with an app for smartphones called Setracker. It is available in Apple Store and Google Play.

You can set 3 SOS phone numbers. When your child presses the SOS button for 3 seconds, the watch will start dialing these numbers until one of them picks up. On top, you also receive a notification from the mobile app as soon as the button is pressed. The SOS feature is always active.

However, if you want to restrict the usage of the watch, you can do so from the mobile app. It is useful when your kid is at school, for example.

This model is the perfect fit for my son. The iCoolive GPS tracker watch is very basic but a 3-year old does not need many features.

I am happy that I can always locate my child and that I can call him whenever needed.

 

Themoemoe

Themoemoe is another model with great features and is suitable for small kids and toddlers.

It uses a three-mode positioning system – GPS, A-GPS and LBS. This will locate your child much faster than a normal GPS service and will show you its position as accurately as possible.

The GPS tracker watch works with a micro SIM card and supports two-way phone calls.

It offers a bit more features like security fencing and it can notify you when your child takes off the watch. So you can draw a safe zone where the child walks freely but once it cross the virtual border, you will be notified.

Another cool thing is that you can listen to the surrounding noises without bothering the child. Just to make sure he/she is ok or if you are interested in their geography lesson.

The Themoemoe watch can be used as a pedometer and you can see where your child has been during the day.

The wristband is made of eco-friendly material and the screen will keep your child’s eyesight safe. The size of the wrist is between 125 and 175mm.

This GPS tracker watch is suitable for children aged 3 to 9 years and comes in a cool gift box.

If you are in the US, I recommend you use either SpeedTalk Mobile Card with a $5 plan or T-Mobile Prepaid Complete SIM Starter Kit SIM Card.
