Parking Pal Car Magnet, Keep Kids Safe Around Vehicles

This was perfect for my 3yo. I tried teaching him to put his hand on the car, but he is more of a visual kiddo and this really helped him to remember.

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.

Our son started off with a hand that just exactly fit within the outline, and tried to match it perfectly each time. All we do is say, Safety Spot! and he makes a beeline for the magnet. Once we showed him how it sticks to the car, he tries to stay stuck himself, just like the magnet. Whoever invented this needs a special reward in life!

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 have always made my daughter put her hand on the car while I load bags and free my hands to put her in her seat. She has never wanted to keep her hand there until I got the magnet. My only regret is that it is actually too large to fit on the location I really want her hand to be and have to move it back over the contour of the car where there is a flat surface. This is a little closer to the back of the vehicle, closer to the road which I dont really like, but she does make more of an effort to stay now.

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 little guy loves the little train on this magnet! Its also prevented a ton of stress anytime we get in the car, especially in parking lots. I just tell him to put his hand on his choo-choo. It gives me time to get the door open and situated and he is SAFE, right next to me and focused for a few seconds.

Awesome idea and it works! I have triplets and this has been a godsend. It has eliminated the problem of them running out and into the parking lot.

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.

My son loves using this!
