Comments for IonKids Child Monitoring System Review
Verdict: Perfect for tracking things you don't care about.
Ion Kids (as in, keep an "eye on" the kids) is a portable system that lets you keep track of up to four children, seniors, pets, or anything else that moves. Designed to help parents keep tabs on wandering children, ion Kids Starter Kit comes with a handheld base unit and one water-resistant wristag, and retails for $239.95.
The system uses RF instead of GPS and lets you specify how far the child (or children) are allowed to wander from the handheld base unit before sounding an alert on both the bracelet and the handheld unit. The handheld unit can then be used to locate the child, using a radar-like display that points the way to the AWOL child. Sounds great for busy parents at the mall, grocery store, or in crowded public places.
Does ion Kids deliver the peace of mind parents are looking for? Read on.

This isn't as easy to use at it looks like. I would hide in the house, and my husband couldn't find me using this device. Autistic son hated wearing the wrist watch. We never used this product in the 'real'world. Wasted money for us.
Anyone interest to resell the ions kid? please email me. Review didn't sound good but I like the idea. Can't find it new all sold out. Please email if have one for sale.

We too have a child with Autism and have been considering buying this product.
Do you have the names of any alternative products we could look into.
If you hid in my house and let me smack a tracker on you I bet I could find you.
I agree with the reviewer in all instances.
The tamper feature is more annoying than useful. I works fine if you just want to make sure your kid doesn't get too far away from you. It is expensive.
I absolutely agree with the reviewer. We bought one for our autistic son and it was a huge pain in the neck. (being nice) A total waste of money!!! I still have it just becuase we put it away but I would not even give it to you let alone sell it to you that is how much my wife and I do not like it. GPS is the way to go or in our case we are getting an Autisim Service Dog to help us keep an eye on our boys or if he gets out of the house at least the dog will be able to track him and thats if he is not tethered to him already. If you want more info about the dog please visit 4paws for ability it is a great organization.
