Pikavú, a GPS watch to locate the kids

Some parents see it as an excess of control, but new devices are emerging that allow us to have the children located as it is Pikavú, a GPS locator that has just been introduced worldwide.

The equipment and its operation is very simple. It consists of a GPS watch that the child is wearing and a portable receiver with touch screen and with maps from around the world for parents, guardians or teachers who want to have the child located.

The watch is light, water and shock resistant and has a safety lock so that the child, and in theory no one, can not take it off. Its battery lasts three and a half days or four and a half days in saving mode. Both devices communicate without a distance limit since they are based on satellite positioning, so it does not matter how far the child is.

At the same time, it has an alert button that triggers an alarm in the receiver if the child is in danger or is lost.

I think that, in general, we are becoming somewhat paranoid, although that does not mean that in certain situations such as excursions or children's camps some parents feel calmer knowing at all times where their child is. Possibly it can also be useful for trips, since the child can get lost in a city or in places he does not know.

In any case, you have to assess its usefulness because its price is quite high, 990 euros.
