Keeping an eye on a child's whereabouts just got a whole lot easier thanks to the 'pLaces' that enable GPS tracking to ensure you stay in-the-know with their activities. The 'pLaces' work by being incorporated onto the shoe of a child or even an adult to perform tracking, while also helping users to track their activity levels. The accompanying smartphone app allows users to see all of the data collected over the course of the past 24 hours.
Parents are becoming more accustomed to the incorporation of smart technology in their childcare techniques as a means of reducing some of the associated stress of keeping an eye on youngsters. The 'pLaces' are an example of this that will provide GPS tracking along with a 30 day battery life.
