Frequently asked questions
What’s the best safety device for a young child?
For a child too young for a phone, a GPS tracker or a GPS smartwatch is usually best - a tracker is smallest and simplest, a watch adds calling. See our GPS tracker guide.
Do these devices replace supervision?
No. Treat any device as a helpful tool, not a guarantee - batteries die, coverage drops, and no monitor prevents every risk. They work best alongside supervision and open conversations.
Are WiFi baby monitors safe from hackers?
They can be, if secured with a strong, unique password and two-factor authentication. If you’d rather avoid the internet entirely, choose a non-WiFi monitor. More in our baby monitor guide.
