This service will allow a parent tracking a child to receive a text message anytime a child goes beyond a pre-determined range, whether it be from the house or school or anywhere else, of course. For parents who are concerned about the possibility of their child being abducted and taken far away from home, this can certainly be a terrific feature as it would instantly inform the parent of the child’s whereabouts.

The device is plugged directly into the power socket of your car, and after one minute it will disable any GPS trackers within 2 metres. This device would be perfect for a smaller vehicle or a vehicle with its power socket in between the seats rather than in the front, as 2 metres isn’t always the full length of a vehicle.

Buddi GPS Child Tracker

We have reviewed one or two GPS trackers and tracking services before, but this one is a bit different in that it combines tracking as well as an emergency service. It works like others using GPS technology to locate a person wearing the tracker but has a comprehensive round the clock support system too.

A person can be tracked using the Buddi tracking service utilising one of three routes: online, the phone or by text. For example, when tracking online they need only to log in to the Buddi website where there is detailed map showing the location.
