We have a very active 2 1/2 year old who loves to run. We have a few trips planned that will involve being in large, crowded spaces and obviously my husband and I were both concerned about her safety (even with both of us watching her closely). Those of you with active toddlers know how fast they can hide! we tried it once and quickly realized the "alert feature" was annoying. 25 feet sounds pretty far. It's not. Have your child stand in front of you and measure it. We were walking through an outdoor event with her in front of us and it kept going off. And the alarm is very high pitched...and yes, very loud. It will work great when you want it to. But it was annoying us and everyone around us. A couple of times she was standing only 2-3 feet in front of us but with objects in between and the alarm would still sound. Finally I just turned it off. The actual company (My Precious Kid) the product is shipped from was very helpful when I e-mailed them about my disappointment with the product. I asked if I could return it and instead get the brown locator (without the alert feature)and they sent it right out. So far we haven't had to use it, but it is peace of mind knowing we can just press the button to hear her. Obviously this product isn't meant to be "instead of" watching your child. But it is so easy for a todddler to get ahead of you and be one aisle over in a department store out of your sight. I've kept it on her shoe even with trips to the local mall. So while the "alert feature" didn't work for our needs, the original product has.

I found this product to work exaclty as promised. It was ideal for my smallest child and alerted my as soon as she was beyond the range. Even though the range seemed to vary a little it was nice to know she could never get too far. With my older son I got the brown bear since it works more like a locator device. So he can roam a little further and if I notice he is out of sight I can press the button and hear him. I love them both and think I have found the right mix of products for my kids.

Used this locator for our two toddlers during our trip to Mexico. It was supposed to beep if the child is 35 feet away, but it was constantly going off, even when one of them was only a few feet away. Positives are that it did go off when you wanted it to which helped you locate your child. But the constant beeping wasn't worth it.

Disappointed, we returned this unit for a refund. We bought this unit hoping it would alert us if our toddler strayed too far. While it does so effectively we received numerous false alarms even when our child was only a few feet away. On one outing the false alarms became so frequent that we turned the unit off.

This product is a great idea that with some tweaking could be very useful. We're hoping to see an improved version.

We bought this product for a child who sleep walks. It had he new feature that alerted you when the child got more than 20 ft away. It sounded perfect. We set it up exactly how the minimal directions said. It would work for for about an hour, then it would just go off when it was right next to her. We were on Vacation (which is why we bought it) and we had her sleeping in our room for safety reasons. It continued to keep going off when she was right next to us. We even tried it the next night again and tested it on distance. The 1st time it went off at around 25 ft, the second time it went off at about 50ft and the 3rd time it didn't go off at all, I was all the way outside at the end of the driveway and nothing. the New Alert Feature just didn't work! I would not recommend it for this purpose.

I bought this little bear a while ago and I loved it. I recommended it to my friends and they bought it and loved it too. I didn't have the "annoying" problem of the "alert feature" as described in other reviews. I guess the bear they bought was an older version and obviously the company revised it and improved it.

Unlike the "locate feature" which delivers a very high pitched alarm when activated (that's what the feature is supposed to do), the "alert feature" is not loud at all, it's a kind of "BB" sound more like your old pager. And if you don't like it, you can turn the transmitter off and thus deactivate the "alert feature", but keep the little bear turned on. So when you need to activate the "locate feature", you can simply turn on the transmitter and press the button and there goes your alarm. This is the extra feature you get from this little blue bear. It's definitely a deal at today's price. (I bought it at its full price last year.)

If your baby is young and does not roam very far, this blue bear can grow with him/her. If your kid is big, I'd say buy the pink or brown bear locator. The bear seems durable and we are still using it without any problems.

I should have listened to the reviews. Half said it didn't work right and they were right. Even called the business and told the owner about the reviews and he dismissed them as over reacting. I should have known better. I tried it at my home first and got mixed results. Went off within 20 feet then 40 feet. The reviews said walls or objects may interfere so I took it with me to a flea market. My child was not more than 5 feet away, nothing in between us and it was going off like crazy. BEYOND annoying and embarrassing. If anything go with the cheaper version that you can set off the alarm when your child is out of your view but this is an ABSOLUTE waste of money. Sent it back to Amazon and they refunded my money. LOVE Amazon!

Right from the get go this did not work right. It would beep when we were sitting next to eachother BUT when he would go to a distance were it should have beeped sometimes it would and sometimes it wouldnt beep. I returned it.
Save your money and buy something better.

Works great! just dont forget to turn it OFF or the batteries will go fast.

Battery died after first day - spent the rest of the week buying screwdrivers to get the battery compartment on the bear open. It seemed like the battery compartment was closed by a machine because even with the appropriate screwdriver that screw was not coming out - ever.
