Levana CT1000 Digital Wireless Child Tracker Wrist Watch and Kid Finder/Locator Review

First of all, I'm a bit of a gadget geek and work in the IT industry, so I think I'm a pretty good judge of quality when it comes to electronics.
We recently moved into what most would call a great neighborhood. One downside to our new house is that it doesn't have a fenced back yard for our kids to play in. One day our 2 1/2 yr. old son managed to get out of the house and wandered down to the street corner one house down - he likes to go for walks. Jinny thought he was out helping me in the garage. I thought he was inside. Some 'nice' neighbors brought him back (thanks!) then proceeded to call the cops and report us for child neglect (Thanks for nothing!!!) Whatever happened to watching out for neighbors???? They obviously don't have small kids. The police were very understanding and assured us they were only following up on the call and not going to arrest us. Kudos to the police for doing a great job.
So, now my wife is terrified to let the kids out of her sight. We bought this device as a backup, not the primary way to keep track of the kids, until we can get a fence installed.
After convincing him it was a nice watch to wear, we proceeded to test it.
Inside the house it picked up the signal and indicated direction like it's advertised. When we went outside, as soon as our son walked more than 15 feet away, the receiver couldn't pick up the signal, and that was with clear unobstructed site. The device claims you can set an out of range warning signal for up to 98 ft. It doesn't even work for the shortest range setting.
If you decide to take your chances, there are also a couple of other minor issues to consider. The wrist band is too easy for kids to take off. Our son had it off in less than a minute the first time we put it on him. Second, this is more an annoyance, there's no way to disable the 'panic button' on the watch.
Don't waste your money! It's a great idea, but the device doesn't work! Hope this saves someone else some time and money.
Regards - Ken

Nady DKW Duo VHF Handheld Wireless Microphone System (Channel B and D) Review

Nady DKW Duo VHF Handheld Wireless Microphone System (Channel B and D)

My wife and I were looking for something we could get the children that would work half way decent. All the children's microphone we ever purchased didn't. I don't think this was made for children but it should be painted red, pink, or blue and marketed for children. Most children's products cost more and don't come close to the quality. Plus you get two microphones(no fighting for our two kids). Awesome product for children, can't vouch for professionals. Drawbacks for the parent user is that it comes with a 1/4" plug which most home systems don't have. We had to go to Radio Shack and buy a 1/4" to RCA adapter. Also, the microphones have an on/off switch and if left on 24/7 the 9 volt battery will not last long. Children aren't the best on being responsible about turning things off after they're finished. Stock-up! Very pleased overall.

Kidz Gear Wireless Car Headphones For Kids Review

I just received my headphones and used them for a trip to Disneyland. They are awesome and my kids loved them!! I disagree with the comment about the OEM headphones. Our headphones that came with the car are not as comfortable for the kids and it is coming apart. The Kidz Gear headphones are great cause they have a softer lining around the ears that probably won't come apart like the cheap foam things that are around the headphones we have now.
The sound quality was very good. I tried them out myself. I like how they fit, even for an adult. They are very comfortable and sleek looking. My kids would fight over who got to wear the Kidz Gear headphones over the ones that came in the car.
The customer service at Kidz Gear is also very good. I had a question for them on how to use the headphones at home with our TV. They were so helpful and explained things in a way that a non-tech person could understand. It is hard to find great customer service these days and I was very impressed with them. They were awesome!
I would highly recommend these headphones to kids and adults to use. They are so comfortable and I like how they turn themselves off after a while to keep the battery life. Our headphones that came with the car doesn't have this feature. You don't even know how many times we've not had headphones to use cause the battery has run out.
I WOULD RATE THIS PRODUCT 5 STARS!
