Best GPS Trackers for Kids

The TickTalk 2.0 GPS is an amazing tracking watch packed with the newest technology and a very user-friendly app. The TickTalk app allows parents to track and communicate with the watch just anytime. The app is very easy to set up and it works with all iPhones and Android-based phones. And the best part is that it allows parents to add multiple smartwatches under the same account. From the app, you can secretly dial your number and the watch will automatically call you back, allowing you to listen to what is going on. And your children won’t worry about their privacy, as your end will be mute and they will never know you’re listening to their surroundings. It goes without saying that the app also enables you to track your kid’s location. The TickTalk watch uses accurate 3-way locators (WiFi + GPS + LBS) to deliver you the current kid’s location both indoors and outdoors. The watch will update the location information every five minutes. If you want to track them manually, you can always click the blue locator button. The TickTalk's tracking works in 3 steps:

• If there's a Wi-Fi hotspot nearby, it connects to it and then sends you the data with the accuracy about 100-500 ft.
• If it fails to find a public Wi-Fi hotspot, it will start to seek a GPS signal which, while eating more power, provides a better accuracy at about 10-300 ft.
• In case it finds neither Wi-Fi hotspot nor GPS signal, it will search for the nearest Cellular Tower signal.

What we find especially convenient is that the app keeps the track history on 2D or 3D maps which means, if you need to, you can play it back anytime.

Like other smartwatches, this one allows for two-way communication and one-way text messages. The calls are fairly clear and loud on both ends. You can put in as many as 13 contact numbers for the watch to call. Moreover, you can set the call blocker to prevent receiving calls from strangers. This GPS tracker watch for kids is very easy to use, and your little ones can make or receive calls just by clicking the icon on the interface. And if your kids are in trouble, they can hold the SOS button for 3 seconds to automatically call the emergency number. It’s a truly decent wearable GPS locator for kids from 4 to 12 years.

The AMERICALOC GL300W Mini Portable GPS Tracker is an updated version of the famous GL300. It boasts longer battery life and extended coverage. Now it works not only in the US but also in Canada, Europe, and almost any corner of the world. So, even if your kid is visiting grandparents who live far away, you will be able to track them regardless. You can track your child's whereabouts using such functions as GPS location and GeoFencing. For instance, you can set up a geofence around your home or school property and set any distance of the fence you need. And then you can set the alerts for any situation you’d like to be aware of.

You can put this GPS tracker in an interior pocket of your child's backpack. And this device can be very helpful not only for tracking your child’s route. It’s also very useful for vehicles and assets. If you live in a high-theft area and use your bike back and forth to work, you can easily hide the tracker within the frame, and check where your bike is whenever you want.

You may look at the low price tag of this smartwatch and think it’s rather flimsy and poorly-made, however, that’s not so. The watch is made of durable plastic and silicone that will last for quite a long time. Moreover, the watch has an advanced waterproof design of IP67, so your kids shouldn’t necessarily remove it when washing hands or running through a rain. The only thing to note is that the watch mustn’t come in contact with hot water.

While there are many other kids GPS watches at a similar price point, you can’t go wrong with the GBD Waterproof model. It has a brand new 2018 design with 1.54" HD LCD touchscreen and unique dog pattern on the display. The design seems a bit childish, and that's exactly what makes it particularly attractive for smaller kids. It has one yet most important key - SOS button for reaching parents if kids find themselves in some dangerous situation. Parents can set as many as three SOS numbers. If you'd like to add more numbers into the memory of the watch, you can use a special app that will let you store additional 10 phone numbers. Through the same app, you can set the “Forbidden in Class” function that will disable the watch when your child has a class time. Despite this, you will still have an opportunity to hear what's happening around. 

As for the location tracking, the watch ensures double safety for your kids thanks to GPS and LBS technologies. The Location Base on Cell Tower Station function turns on only if there's no GPS signal. Through the app, you can monitor your child's location in real time, as well as set “Safe zones”. And if your child goes beyond this safe zone, you’ll receive the reminder immediately. The app also allows you to track your kid’s route within 30 days. Summing up, we can say that this GPS tracker for kids is so functional and affordable that we’d definitely call it a bargain you can’t miss.

The SpyTec company has been the leader in GPS tracking gear both for consumers and enterprises since 2004. And this tracker is an exceptional gadget which can help you be aware of your kids' location and get all the information in a real-time format. It boasts a 5-60 seconds refresh rate and the high accuracy of 15 feet. And if you want, you can activate the Geo-Fence function and set geographic boundaries around locations. For instance, you can create the geofence around your kid’s commute home from school. After that, you'll get SMS or E-mail alerts if the safety area has been crossed. This function is extremely helpful not only for kids but also for elderly people with some medical conditions. You'll be immediately notified if they wander too far away from home. The SpyTec GPS tracking device saves all the locations and stores this information for a year.

A built-in accelerometer is another useful function that keeps you informed about the speed of the GPS tracker's movements. Also, it automatically switches the tracker on or off depending on whether it's moving, thus saving the battery life significantly. By the way, the STI GL300 is equipped with a high-quality Li-polymer battery that ensures up to two weeks of runtime.

Owing to its small size and weight, you’ll be able to fit the tracker in a child's backpack or pocket. It’s also possible to attach it to a belt thanks to the special Belt Holster (included in the set). If you're planning to track vehicles as well, you can install it underside your car using the M2 waterproof magnetic case. As you see, it's a truly multifunctional device that can help you track your close people and valuables when you aren't around.
