To buy a kids gps watch?

[fuckwitery]

Off skiing in a couple of weeks. DS7 is naught adventurous and last year went off looking for me. Luckily the teacher saw him and pulled him back to class. So I'm a bit worried and anxious. Thinking of buying a GPS tracker or watch. Is that a bit bloody OTT? Has anyone else bought one? Looking at reviews on Amazon they seem to be really unreliable so don't want to get stung for a crap bit of kit either!

I've been using Watchu, it's perfect for holidays and after keeping tabs on and 8yo and 4yo it's perfect to give the elder a little bit of freedom (although never too far) and you can track them on the app, plus they can call you and you them. A really useful bit of kit and kind of a stepping stone to a mobile phone, without access to the internet which is perfect! The little one loves his too, mainly to be like his big bro!

Don't leave him then if you have doubts. My neice is really naughty too & won't behave on holiday even under supervision so we watch her like a hawk.
