Seat Belt Buckle Guard

Have a child with the fine motor skills to pop the childseat or seat belt buckle, but not the impulse control to refrain from doing so? Check out the Buckle Guard and Buckle Guard Pro (larger for modern seatbelts), also available on Amazon.

I love the fact that they're using a child-resistant medication cap to block access to the belt release.

Spiffy ID Bracelets

Via ParentHacks comes a great idea for custom ID bracelets your kids might actually wear! Many of the young children we work with have an underdeveloped sense of stranger danger, and tendency to wander further than they should. It's important to have a safe amount of information on them should they get separated from you. Your cell phone numbers would probably do the trick, and these can fit on a trendy custom silicone bracelet. Plus, you can all wear matching family bracelets if you'd like to emphasize the family unit aspect. You can order as few as five custom bands, but make sure to order extras.

For those who can't stand having things on their wrists (that would include me), I've also had families use Tyvek tags or luggage tags worked through shoelaces. If you've come up with anything useful, please post below ...
