Parking Pal Car Magnet, Keep Kids Safe Around Vehicles

I have an active independent 3 year old son who has walked or ran away in a parking lot more than once. When I asked him to stay put, it became a game to him to run away at times. Since we got this magnet 2 or 3 weeks ago, we let him pick where to put it (near his door), he hasnt gone off once and always hi fives the hand. This has been great for our family. We got a second one for my husbands truck.

Works great as an aid/reminder for your child to stay in one place. Our child responded well to keeping her hand on the sticker which gives us time to put things down and open the door

Successfully training my toddler to place her hand on the Parking Pal while I load / unload the car so that she safely waits for me.

My grandson knows exactly what this is for now. As soon as I get him out of his car seat and put him on the ground he puts his hand on the magnet. I got one for his mom too!

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

Gor this for my 3 year old son to help train him to stay at the car and not run away when I open doors. Its a magnet so you can place it wherever you need it to go and so far has held up to rain and sun. Ive been able to get my son to go give an orange high five to the magnet when he tries to run ahead to my to the car and he does it! I let him pick out the design and he loved the train one with the orange hand. I love that there were so many colors and designs to choose from. Would definitely recommend this for the kid who doesnt like to stop or run ahead as telling them to go to the hand and give it a high five can direct them and keep them safer.

This magnet has saved my sanity now that I have two children. My three-year-old had a tendency to wander off from the car while I was dealing with the infant, but now that he has his handprint, he is thrilled to go put his hand there and stay there. I put it on the babys side of the car so that I can more easily keep an eye on him while putting her in and out of the car. Its not an unsupervised solution, but its a great assistant so that I can look away to put the baby in the car.

These car magnets are the best thing to keep my kids from running around in a parking lot while Im loading groceries in the car or getting a sibling in the seat. I ask how many are red or blue or count all the dinosaurs to keep them busy and focused! They can come off in a car wash, so make sure you just ask an attendant to grab them off and hand them to you before you go through.

Surprisingly, my son just naturally gravitated toward it. He saw it the first time and put his hand on it and all we needed was a dont take your hand off until mommy says so and he was there. We used it again last night going out to dinner. While we fussed with getting the car seat out, our son was told to touch (the magnet) and he did so until we pulled his hand away and walked with him across the parking lot. Such a simple, but great, idea!

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.
