The trackable jacket

Published on October 25, 2007 in Parenting. 5 Comments By Joanne

For $500 plus a $20 monthly tracking fee, parents can buy their child a trackable jacket with a GPS device in the slash-resistant lining. The winter jacket can be spotted within 43 feet anywhere in the world. Parents can use Google Earth maps to track jacket wearers. They can also set up boundaries, such as the walk to school, and receive alerts to their e-mail or cell phone when the jacket goes where it isn’t supposed to.

Plus, when the kid loses the jacket the parents can find it!

Gee, how long before kids figure out how to outsmart this?

True, Fang, and they’ll “lose” them a lot more often.

I used to buy all the coats in my son’s size at the thrift stores – when it gets warm, take off your coat and put it somewhere.
