  2. This might be good for small children when visiting crowded places, like the zoo or amusement parks. If they get separated, Mom & Dad’s cell phone nos. are right there.

  3. Hey look! They invented something that already exists: “Dog tags”

    Military ID tags are more durable, and just as likely to be read (or not) as the bracelet is. Probably more so. The engraving looks cheap, like it would rub off. That could be a fault of the mock-up photo, but nothing would beat embossed dog tags for legibility.

    Dog tags are more comfortable and cheaper.

  4. This is quality stuff. It’s engraved so it couldn’t rub off. I’ve had my dog tag for a decade, plus the wrist and ankle version. The LED flasher lights they sell are outstanding for runners & bikers too. I got the red and blue. For a single LED it puts out a great amount of light.

  5. I had a metal Road ID tag that was laced in to my shoe strings. The letters did not fade or scratch over time.

    Great Idea! Lets take it one more step by creating a red band with medical information. I live in Washington state and children have wanderer away from campsites, perhaps a beacon band to signal rescue personnel. I belive there is potentially more ideas to expand upon.
