Parking Pal Car Magnet, Keep Kids Safe Around Vehicles

This is my second purchase of these because I love them so much. I first used these a few years ago to keep my antsy kiddo still while I got their sibling out of the car. It gives me a sense of confidence that my child can look at something fun (count the images, name them, say colors, etc) in the 1 extra minute I need to unbuckle my little one. Its strong enough to hold on to my car on the highway and during high winds. I proudly have it on my car for all to see because it keeps my kiddo safe. The only time I forget to grab it is during a car wash. Dont leave it on during a car wash!

My family loves it. My son is autistic and he knows he has to put his hand on the handprint every time we get into the car. I don’t recommend leaving it on when you go through car washes. There’s a chance it could come off. I know that it has happened to me one day and I forgot it was on.

I bought this for my two year old for trips to the store. Although as a parent you try to make sure your child is safe at all times, sometimes it isnt possible. When leaving the grocery store especially, I love that he has a place to put his hands so that he doesnt run away while Im trying to unlock the door with bags in my hands. I used to make him hold on to my shirt but that didnt always work. Now he can practice his ABCs for the short 60 secs it takes me to get the car open.

I recently had a second child and this makes getting into and out of the car just a little bit easier as it gives my toddler something to look at during the process.

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.

My 2.5yo is a runner. She found it hilarious to be chased around the truck after school. This was delivered while she was at school so put it on and picked her up and immediately was like we now have a hand, you go to the hand and no running in the parking lot. She likes the fairys on it and the hand outline. She understood what I meant and goes directly to it unless shes being held. We do not have a running problem now and she still likes the fairies. I drive on the interstate almost daily for about 20ish miles daily at 80mph and throughout town and it has stayed on.

This is such a brilliant idea. My 3 year old daughter loves it. She gets so excited when she gets out of the car and puts her hand on it while I pick up her baby sis so its been a great help having her Stay put while Im busy. The reason Im giving it a 4 star is because we live in the Middle East and it gets hot here in summer so the magnet gets hot too.

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

I love this product. I am a mother with a young child 2.5 and another on the way. My son knows to go to his spot and wait while I am opening the door. This is an invaluable safety tool and every time he is with me I get asked where did I buy it from. Great product.

I have 3 kids under 4 and these decals have been a life saver when picking them up at daycare. As soon as we walk out in the parking lot it is a game who can touch them first and stay on the longest. Definitely helps me feel a bit more safe when loading the kids in the car.
