I’ve been thinking about getting a GPS tracker for my daughter, but I’m overwhelmed by the options out there. Some trackers look like smartwatches, others are small devices you can clip to clothes or put in a backpack. Last week, a friend told me her son kept taking his off because he didn’t like the feeling of something on his wrist. That made me wonder—what’s the best type of tracker to get? I want something reliable that she won’t easily remove or lose. Any recommendations on what works best for kids who are a bit fussy about wearing things?

I totally get that! We had the same issue with my son—he refused to wear anything on his wrist, so we had to find other ways to attach it without him noticing too much. Effective places to put a GPS tracker on a child can make a big difference in how useful the tracker actually is, and I found some helpful advice here. The most effective places to put a GPS tracker on a child are covered here. In our case, we ended up securing it inside a small inner pocket of his backpack, which worked great because he didn’t even think about it. Some parents also sew a small pouch inside their kid’s jacket or attach it to shoelaces. It’s all about finding what works for your child’s habits!
