Relay children's smartphone

On the contrary, children can even send emergency alerts through this simple device and parents will get a notification on their smartphone. Relay is simple, durable and water-resistant. However, setting up this device and the monthly packages are a little complicated.
AngelSense
AngelSense is basically a small smartphone. It is more expensive than other tracking options and the price of it will depend on the subscription plan you'll choose. But it has a unique feature that is mainly designed for children with special needs. The black sleeve and 3 fasteners that are in the package of this device are used to form a lockable mechanism. It allows the device to be attached to clothing or backpack so that the child with a special need or any intruder can't remove this. Only the parents will have the access to open this device.
AngelSense comes with voice-monitoring features. Clicking a button, parents can hear what is happening around their children. Parents can save them from bullying and other harassments and can talk with them if they get tensed.
