Honest answers, before you ask.
Everything parents tend to wonder about KidoGuard, answered plainly and without spin.
What is KidoGuard?
KidoGuard is a small, screenless safety wristband for children aged 3 to 10. It quietly watches over a child’s wellbeing, helps parents find them, and lets the child call for help — all while keeping the child’s day private. There’s no screen, no camera, and nothing is recorded.
Who is KidoGuard for?
It’s made for parents of children aged 3 to 10 who want reassurance that their child is okay and within reach, without putting their child under constant surveillance.
How does it find my child without GPS or a SIM card?
You can see your child’s location in the app without a GPS chip or a SIM card, and with no monthly bill. KidoGuard finds its way back to you using the everyday devices already around your child, so there’s no expensive, power-hungry tracking hardware on their wrist. It isn’t a constant live map — it’s there for the moments you need it.
Does KidoGuard track my child every second?
No. KidoGuard avoids constant surveillance. You set safe zones and get an alert if your child leaves one, and you can check their location when you need to — but it doesn’t keep a running map of their every move, and the location is encrypted so only you can see it.
Is my child being recorded or listened to?
No. KidoGuard never records, stores, or sends audio. It can recognise the sound of real distress in the moment to alert you, and that listening is discarded instantly. Your child’s voice and conversations stay theirs.
Is there a camera?
No — and there never will be a camera in any version of KidoGuard.
What does it keep an eye on?
It gently tracks heart rate and blood-oxygen through the day, follows sleep patterns overnight, and lets you know if something looks unusual.
What happens if my child falls or is in trouble?
KidoGuard can sense a serious fall on its own and raise the alarm, and your child can press a single button to call for help. For emergencies it waits for more than one sign of real trouble before alerting you — so you’re warned about genuine emergencies rather than every tumble.
Will I get constant false alarms?
No. Instead of reacting to a single bump, KidoGuard looks for several signs of trouble at once before sending an emergency alert. That means far fewer false alarms, so you can trust it when it does speak up.
How long does the battery last, and how does it charge?
It’s built to last for days between charges. It tops up through a safe, child-friendly magnetic clip with no exposed port, and gains a little extra energy from sunlight when your child plays outdoors.
Can my child wear it swimming or in the bath?
Yes. KidoGuard is swim-proof and bath-proof, so it never has to come off.
Who owns the data, and can I delete it?
You do. Everything KidoGuard learns about your child belongs to you, the information is encrypted, and you can delete all of it anytime with a tap.
Is it comfortable for a child to wear all day?
Yes. KidoGuard is light and screenless with a soft, skin-friendly band, so most children quickly forget they’re wearing it. It’s designed to be worn comfortably through play, school, and sleep.
Will my child be able to take it off?
KidoGuard is designed to sit comfortably and securely on a young child’s wrist through the day, with a child-friendly fastening, so it stays put during normal play — while remaining easy for a parent to put on and take off.
Does KidoGuard work without internet or Wi-Fi?
Even without internet, KidoGuard can still let your phone sense when your child is close by. An internet connection helps with things like seeing their location further afield, but the band is built to keep working sensibly when you’re offline.
Can I add more than one child to the app?
Yes. You’ll be able to add more than one child to a single app, so a whole family can be looked after from one place.
How is KidoGuard different from a kids’ smartwatch or GPS tracker?
Most kids’ smartwatches and GPS trackers strap a phone-like device to a child, need a SIM and a monthly plan, and quietly track every movement. KidoGuard is the opposite: screenless and distraction-free, no SIM or monthly fee, no camera, nothing recorded, and no constant map — safety that respects your child’s privacy.
Is the band gentle and safe on my child’s skin?
Yes. The band is made from soft, skin-friendly material chosen to be gentle even on sensitive young skin, and it’s comfortable to wear every day.
