How To Keep Track Of Your Toddler When Traveling

• Dress them up in bright colored shirts. Orange or red comes to mind, but use whatever color your fashion sense permits that lets you spot your little one in an instant.
• Get a leash. We know how this sounds, and before you imagine your toddler in shackles, check out a product out called the Eddie Bauer Harness Buddy ($10 and up). Your toddler wears a harness on his body, but it’s dressed up by an adorable plush animal. Get the one with the monkey if you want one that will eventually convert into a backpack.
• Get a child locator. You can find some effective, inexpensive gadgets that your toddler will be delighted to wear. Giggle Bug ($20) makes a child locator that comes in brightly colored ladybug shapes. Clip one on your toddler and keep the hand held activator with you. You’ll be able to locate your child by following a high decibel beep as long as he’s within 150 feet of you.
