NEWS YOU CAN USE

Lost? New tracker can help The panic-filled moment you realize your kid is missing is unfortunately unforgettable. That’s what prompted John Renaldi to build a team to create a tracker that would be good enough for their own families. The result is the Jiobit Smart Tag, a new wearable tracker smaller than an AA battery that pairs with an app to keep kids and parents connected. Jiobit improves on the

tracking abilities by using different radio frequencies and a hybrid network. This allows the company to find the best signal even if the family is in a situation with no cellular coverage and the child has gotten too far away, says Chicago mom of four boys, Lindsay Slutzky, a member of the team. Plus, they improved on the battery life; it lasts at least a week before needing a charge. jiobit.com ChicagoParent.com |
