keeping children safe.

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who has replied to my previous posts it has been really useful.

So it will be busy when we are there and I wondered if you all had any tips about how not to lose your children! .

I know that might sound bad and I am not planning on being careless but actually want to take any extra precautions. My boys are 3 and 4, and handfuls, and the park will be really busy when I am there and I cannot guarantee that I will not be distracted at some point either by one of them, or getting something out of a bag, or just something wonderful happening in the park. So any advice? Do you dress your children in bright colours? Anyone bought a reasonably priced GPS tracker that works?

Thanks in advance.

Show them what a CM badge looks like, and say if they get lost, go to someone with a badge like that on.

You can buy wristbands on Amazon that have a piece of card/paper that slips inside of them. You can put your phone numbers and hotel etc. on them so if your children do get lost they have contact details on them. If you use stickers with info, sometimes it's best to stick them on their backs. Kids love to peel them off!

We've gone as far as to write phone numbers on my niece's arm before, and just wash it off in the bath in the evening.

She's a bit older now, so we probably won't need that the next time. Maybe just a piece of paper with phone numbers in a pocket, or something. X

We took a 3.5 and a 4yo to WDW (along with a 2yo and 16mo, four adults though) and the rule was if they weren’t in the double stroller they held a hand or held onto the stroller and if they kicked up a fuss they got strapped into the buggy. We returned home with all four of them
