Sounds interesting. I think I might stick with bells though.
The problem I have though with bells is that i have a hearing
loss and can't hear them. Any ideas what I can use instead?

Hi Stephanie. I bought a child locator when my daughter started
walking.
I've used it a few times, but not as often as I would have liked
to because
the part that goes on the child, which is shaped like a teddy
bear, just has
the kind of a clip you would slide through a belt. But since my
daughter
doesn't usually wear belts, I haven't found a good way to fasten
the locator
to her clothes. If you buy one, look for a locator with a better
typle of
clip or pin that you could fasten to a shirt or the top of the
baby's pants.
The child locator I bought has two parts. The teddy bear part
goes on the
child, like I said. The other part goes on an adult's keychain.
There's a
button on the keychain part that, when pressed, lets out a very
loud beeping
sounds from the teddy bear. I've told Sarah that if she ever
hears the
beeper, which we've practiced with a few times, she should look
around and
try to find me, and come straight back to me if she can. It's a
comfort to
me, also, though, that the beeper noise is so loud that it's
bound to grab
the attention of passersby, just in case the unthinkable is
happening, and
somebody's trying to abduct my baby. The noise and sudden
attention might
stop something bad from happening.
I bought the Mommy, I'm Here! child locator on amazon.com. It's
an
inexpensive model, and the only thing I don't like it is the
typle of clip
on the teddy bear. There are way more expensive models out
there. I think
I might have paid about thirty dollars.
