Child ID Bracelets Keep Contact Info on Kids
ID Options for Summer Vacations or Special Needs Children
May 29, 2009
Parents who have a fear of their toddler or older child becoming lost in public can rest a little easier now that new products to label kids with contact information are available. Instead of writing a cell phone number on the child’s leg with a Sharpie, try child ID bracelets, temporary tattoos and engraved wristbands. These products are not only useful for summer vacations and field trips, they can be life-saving devices for children with food allergies, medical conditions and other special needs.
ID Bracelets for Children
There are many styles of children’s ID bracelets available. Some child ID bracelets are permanent, decorative bracelets with engraving. Petite Baubles Boutique is one company that offers beaded bracelets with engraving. Permanent bracelets are ideal for everyday wear and for children who are excited about the idea of wearing jewelry.
Other kids ID bracelets are temporary bracelets that can include written information like the parent’s name and cell phone number. Stuckonyou.com offers temporary plastic bracelets with room for a contact name and phone number. These temporary bracelets are sold in bulk and are ideal for class field trips with the teacher’s or chaperone’s cell phone number or for family summer vacations.
Temporary Tattoos Instead of Child ID Bracelets
Temporary tattoos are a new product that allows parents to customize their contact information and keep children safe in public. For parents of children who are resistant to wearing ID bracelets, tattoos offer an inexpensive option. Companies like SafetyTat sell customized tattoos or blank tattoos with special pens that are waterproof but do not absorb into the skin. Temporary tattoos can be used to keep contact information on children at the beach, on vacation or on school field trips.
Engraved Wristbands Keep Contact Info Private
Families who travel often, have children who have several different caregivers or have a tendency to wander may choose an engraved wristband to keep contact information on the child at all times. Engraved wristbands come in many styles that appeal to boys and girls and have the added protection of keeping the information tucked inside the bracelet. Since safety experts discourage writing a child’s name on any visible part of an ID bracelet, engraved wristbands offer a safe option for parents of children too young or unable to say their names.
ID and medical wristbands from Sima S. Enterprises, for example, provide more space for information than temporary wristbands. This allows parents to include home and work phone numbers, a cell phone number or other critical information. Some companies offer wristbands that are convertible and can be worn on shoes or around the ankle instead of on the wrist.
Protect Children with Autism, Food Allergies, Special Needs
Temporary tattoos and child ID bracelets are useful when young children are missing in public, but they can provide life-saving information for children who have food allergies, medical conditions and non-verbal Autism or Down’s Syndrome. Thanks to new products there are a variety of options for customizing the information emergency personnel or Good Samaritans need to know.
SafetyTat, for example, offers temporary tattoos specifically designed to alert emergency personnel of conditions like peanut allergies, diabetes, deafness and non-verbal Autism. These temporary tattoos provide immediate notification in the event of an emergency, but are also useful on group field trips where the chaperones may not be aware of a child’s food allergy. A temporary tattoo can serve as a clear reminder that a child should not be given a certain snack or that certain behaviors warning of an impending medical emergency should not be ignored.
Engraved Sportsbands and Wristbands
For parents who find a temporary tattoo labeling a child with Autism or other conditions objectionable, there are more discreet options. Sima S. Enterprises' wristbands are similar to medical alert bracelets in that they include the symbol for medical information. They have information written on cards tucked inside the bracelet. Petite Baubles Boutique's sportbands offer engraving on metal plates. Both options can help parents keep kids with food allergies or special needs safe.
There are many new products that help parents keep contact info on kids on summer vacations and field trips with teachers. Child ID bracelets, temporary tattoos and engraved wristbands can keep contact phone numbers on kids and help missing children be reunited with their families. These ID bracelets and tattoos are also useful for special needs children and kids with food allergies.
