Parking Pal Car Magnet, Keep Kids Safe Around Vehicles

Super cute and perfect for helping keep little ones safe around cars.

My 2 year-old is a wanderlust type. I had seen this product in a buzzfeed list and decided to try it out. She loves the little “Nemo” and other fish! We practice with it a lot, and now she actually won’t get into the car WITHOUT tagging it at least once! I only have one kid, but I could see this being a big help for parents of multiples. Sometimes you just need a second to grab your keys out of the bag, or to move the stroller out of the trunk. This is such a simple and clever safety measure! I especially love that it’s magnetic, so you can easily take it off and put it on your spouses car, grandma’s car, etc. I’ve had it a few months now without anyone stealing it like some reviews have mentioned.

This magnet is perfect! For any child that has ever learned how to high five, it is purely intuition. My child is not quite two-years-old, but, as soon as she saw it on the side of the car, her immediate response was Oooooh! Five! and putting her hand on the hand. In less than a day, as soon as she gets out of the car, she immediately puts her hand on the magnet, then grins at me! She absolutely loves it, and I dont have to worry about her running off! She likes trying to match her fingers up to the fingers on the magnet since her hand is almost the exact same size. I purchased the Alphabet design since it was the most gender-neutral one since, from the looks of this item, its going to last until the next child or two! It looks to be very high-quality! The magnet is strong enough for my kids to not be able to remove, but weak enough that I can. As an added bonus to the magnet, included in the package is a list of safety tips and suggestions for using the magnet and keeping your child safe in a sometimes unsafe environment. I would recommend this for anyone who has young children and drives! Update: Someone stole the magnet today! =[ Im going to order another one when Im done traveling since my daughter is so sad about it being gone...

I slapped this on our car and it worked perfectly to keep my toddler in place while loading/unloading. Unfortunately, it disappeared after only a week or two. I contacted the company and got the following response with an offer for a 50% discount on a replacement: Our magnets are made is the USA and should stay on a vehicle during all weather conditions (snow, rain, wind, sleet) and during high speed travel. (However, it will come off in a car wash). My guess would be that it was stolen. The only solution I have for that would be to stick the magnet into your purse/diaper bag when walking away from the vehicle and stick it back on when returning to the vehicle. I have heard of some people who do this and it works well for them. I think that is great customer service that I wanted to share - though I did decide against a replacement until I move to a neighborhood where its less likely to be taken again. Id rather not deal with the hassle of removing it after every trip. Our window was recently smashed as well, for no apparent reason other than pure vandalism. Unfortunate that our experience with a great product was tainted by sub-par humans.

Great!! I love being able to just tell my kids hand in hand and they put their hands on the magnet and just stand by the car. Great idea and it stays on really well, even while driving through woods and tall brush.

Before this Id have my 2 year old hold the car. Then got the idea to search for these. Works great! She keeps her hand on it and knows to do it immediately. She was good about it before, but it really helps having something there to help guide and remind her. Strongly recommend if youre traveling or out and about with little ones.

I love these but we are a family that goes through the car wash frequently and have now lost two of them. Mom of three young ones here, I can’t always have the foresight to remind my husband to remove the magnet first and don’t have the mental capacity to add this to my to do list. Also it seems like the more you remove/reposition the less they stick? That doesn’t seem logical but they always get lost no matter what. I wish these worked for us!! I love the designs and concept.

My son loves to put his hand here while I am unloading. Keeps him safe and great teaching tool for use in parking lots.

I nanny a 2 yr old she uses it every time we go anywhere

Love this item. Keeps the little guy feeling important while being safe. Third one I bought as the third grandchild grew into a toddler, because the first two used theirs constantly.
