Lineable - Smart Wristband For Kids, Sky Blue, Small

This should be easy to set up but after restarting my phone 3 times as a precaution the device still won't register. It keeps stating its been disconnected for unknown reasons. It hasn't been connected once to be disconnected!You can't set a distance for the alarm and only one guardian can receive info at a time. It also states if you delete the register device from your phone its permanently disable the function on that phone.There isn't anyway to replace the batteries. They will only last 1 year.It's hard to tell from the photo, but these are made out of a stretchy silicone material to slide into the child's wrist and can be easily slid off... Defeating the purpose of the bracelet.

I wouldn't say this is the best but for the price point it isn't horrible. I bought three for our family's vacation to Florida. Tested them at home prior as we live on a giant field. The listed range is off sometimes I would be alerted at 5 feet other times it wouldn't alert me til my children were 20-30 feet away. App is easy to download although troubleshooting links always connected to a broken page. Long story short, if you're looking for a last minute tracker that doesn't require gps on a budget it good. If you're looking for something to update you of your child's whereabouts and have the time and money to get a different device go for something better.

Bought three and took them to an outdoor festival that was not terribly crowded and am disappointed. With a perfectly fresh battery on the bands, the kids were standing RIGHT BEHIND ME touching me and the tracker app was going off. (No one else was within 30 feet, so it wasn't crowded at *all* in that location.) The radio waves were not passing through my body. And 12 feet away in front of me, line-of-sight, with the phone held upright against my stomach, it was going off; they were in line for a rock climb, so there were people, but no one between the kids and me; all were perpendicular to the kids. That distance was variable, sometimes they could be 20-30 feet away among other kids, or on the other side of drywall at home.I think that's Bluetooth's fault more than Lineable's, or perhaps my phone? (LG Ultimate II) When I use a BT headset sometimes my body blocks the signal. Sometimes I don't get 15 feet and it starts dropping.Tracker app also seemed buggy. When I would go back to the phone home and try to load it up again it would be a blank screen; couldn't see the kids' bands, or use the locate functionality. The app was still working in the background, but to get back the functionality of the app I'd have to kill it and re-launch it.I was a little disappointed that there was no way to setup registration on my PC, I had to peck at the tiny phone screen to register. Wasn't terribly difficult, it's just a minor nuisance. Registration itself was relatively easy compared to other devices I've tried.Before buying I measured the kid's wrists with a piece of string not tightly wrapped. Daughter measured just over five inches (small, on the Lineable size listing), middle son was 5.5 inches (medium) and oldest son, just short of six inches. (Large.) Once they got the bands they complained they were too tight. Only the large would comfortably fit my daughter's wrist. The company *really* needs to carefully revise its size listings, and offer larger sizes. (Autistic adults would not be able to wear these. There's a market for that, Lineable.)On the positive side, the bands really don't look like tracker bands; the concerns of another reviewer that a kidnapper would snatch them off are needless; Honestly they look like the rubber armbands that are popular today, that 50% of other kids are wearing out there. No kidnapper in a hurry would get the idea he should take off the bands, at least not in the three seconds it takes for the kids to step out of the device's ~10 foot radius range.If I knew the kids were always going to be extremely close to me, say standing in line at Disney World, there might be a place for using these. But I was at an outdoor festival and wanted to get the most of the device's promised 20m-30m range. Having a 20 meter/65 feet range 360 degrees would have been *great*. Even a 10 meter/32 foot 360 degree range. But no.Good idea, but I just don't think it is going to work for us. Going to see about returning them.

The wristband did not update frequently enough with GPS to give any kind of valid location of my children. I tested it against the find my friend app with my wife's phone and the Lineable would sometimes take over half an hour to give a location.

Bought this for my son ahead of a trip to Disney World just in case my son snuck away (luckily we never needed to rely on it). Unfortunately, the handful of times I launched the app to locate my son as a test, the app would return location results that were hours, or sometimes even days old. One out of five times the app accurately located my son (who was always near me) when I was testing it. We are returning the device.

We took two of these to Disneyland. They didn't help much in keeping track of the kids. There's a delay in notification that undermines the value, and even when the delay is not there, the alarm radius is pretty arbitrary. Limited value. I wish I didn't waste my money.

My kid wouldn't wear it at all. She's almost 3. Put it in my back pack with my phone in my pants pocket and the alarm went off several times saying my child was wondering away from me. Didn't really get a chance to fully use it since my kid wouldn't wear it.

Love the product so far. it would be perfect if the bracelet had an alarm build into it too. I ended up buying the medium size too.
