11 Genius Kickstarter Projects That You Should Get Behind

6. C-Way: GPS Tracker For Your Kids... That They'll Want To Wear

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1696428319/c-way-the-first-plug-and-play-wearable-gps-locator?ref=category People are constantly bemoaning the fact that kids don't go out and play anymore, but it's a dangerous world out there and people also want to be able to keep an eye on their little bundles of joy, so how do you strike the balance between freedom and safety? The C-way is a GPS tracking watch for your kids and lets you track their location, send them messages and give them a schedule when they're out playing. The real genius of this product, however, lies in its understanding of how a kid's mind works. Your average 8-year-old isn't going to be interested in their safety and your stress levels, but what they are interested in is cool toys, gadgets and collectibles that they can show off to their friends. This watch has some little features and add-ons that will appeal to the magpie nature of our kids, plus give them bragging rights. For the younger kids, it has lego attachments that they can customise, for the older kids, there are modes, plug-ins and messaging capabilities (plus you can sell it to them as being like a mobile phone, that ultimate status symbol of "grown ups"). It has plug and play capabilities and even currently features a "hide and seek" function that can be used in play. It also has an augmented reality mode in which you can hold your phone up to a scene and it will display on the screen where your child is. Perfect for crowded settings like the beach or a play area. Its a great way to keep track of your sprogs in the 21st century. Check out the Kickstarter page here.
