Whether staying home, traveling, playing or sleeping, a child needs to be safe. With so many opportunities for accidents, parents welcome the prospect of extra levels of security. There are many products on the market to ease the load.
The Summer Infant SecureSleep Audio Monitor not only lets parents keep a close ear on baby, but acts as a room thermometer and soft glow nightlight. The unit changes colors signifying if the room is too cold, too hot or just right. With 900MHz digital technology, it has a 650 foot range, $50, 800-926-8627, www.summerinfant.com.
The Fridge Guard Appliance Safety Latch from Parent Units keeps refrigerator doors safe and shut. Made of high-grade durable plastic, it comes in white or clear. Use two on top of a double-door appliance, $8, 732-792-7244, www.parentunits.com.
When a child is placed in his car seat, the Car Seat Monitor from Cars-N-Kids senses the weight and automatically turns on. Whenever the car stops, a lullaby plays about four seconds later, letting the driver know the child is secure in the seat. That’s also the amount of time it takes for a driver to start exiting the car — so the lullaby is a reminder not to leave the child. The monitor also beeps if the child gets out of the car seat, $40, 573-434-2244, www.carseatmonitor.com.
The two-piece Giggle Bug Toddler Tracker from Intelent Technologies helps keep a child from getting lost.
