There are different schools of
parenting when it comes to keeping an eye on the kids. Some folks prefer to keep their children close at hand by
locking them in cages at night "for their own safety," while more liberal-minded peeps would rather let their
progeny roam free and experience the world. Those in the latter group, while inflicting less psychological damage on
their kids, also open them up to the harsh realities of drugs, pedophiles, and fast food addiction. Fortunately for
them, Hop-on has released yet another
kid-tracking device known
as the ChitterChatter, which eschews the standard numeric keypad for programmable, graphical buttons. To locate the
little one, a worried parent need only text the phone to "pinpoint" its location to within 300 feet in about
a minute (meaning Junior could be as far away as 500 feet from his original location by the time mom/dad receives the
return SMS). As with most of these products, this one could use a little polish, but at $50 you can't beat the
price.
