A Busy Mommy Gave To Me

An awesome Parking Pal Magnet from Parking Pal.



I know that all the busy mommies out there are petrified of the dangers that can happen in parking lots with small children. I know it's one of my biggest worries when Ben and I are out and about. Your trying to unload your children and items from your car, and sometimes there just isn't an extra hand to hold. Well, when a good friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this product I was so excited. Not only because it will help reinforce a rule already in place in my family, but because it is such an awesome idea.

The Parking Pal Magnet is a fun way to help keep you kids in one place. Just place the magnet on your car and your children are to put their hands in the hand print.

Now, the rule for Ben when we're getting out of the car is...he must have one hand on the car until we're ready to proceed into the store. And he usually follows this rule. I can't wait for Ben to get this. He will love knowing that he has a "Safe Spot".
Here is a little info directly from the Parking Pal Website.

WHY IS IT NEEDED:
Parents, grandparents, day-care providers, aunts, uncles, friends, or whoever is caring for a child can be easily distracted in parking lots. Loading or unloading packages, rifling for keys, tending to the baby, or helping elderly parents can take precious attention away from our children, leaving them vulnerable to a number of dangerous situations. Other drivers can't see when they back up because the car next to them is too large or they're distracted by their cell phones, or blind spots make it easy for them to overlook small children who may be behind them. And children, well, they don't always do what they're told or stay where they should. It only takes one second for tragedy to strike.

HOW IT WORKS:
Place the Parking Pal on the side of your vehicle, where it will remain safely attached at all times. It was specifically designed with bright colors, playful illustrations, and a small palm children love to place their hands on. After a couple learning sessions, your child will discover that the Parking Pal is their safe spot, and they will know where to go the second they are outside the car. It also helps teach them that parking lots are no place to play.

HOW IT CAME ABOUT:
One mother residing in Virginia began to think of ways to keep her kids focused so the chance of them bolting or wondering in parking lots would be eliminated. She created the Parking Pal and IT WORKED. Austin, her 5-year old, and Aiden, her 3-year old, love the Parking Pal. When getting out of or coming back to the vehicle they go directly to it, put their hand on it, fiddle around with it and chat with each other while she gets her youngest into his stroller or back into his car seat. Until all vehicles are equipped with back-up cameras and all until all drivers remember to pay careful attention in parking lots, this is a great aid in keeping your child safer.
