Life Lynx Safety Key provides instant action if child becomes missing

[Guest guest]

Has anyone heard of/or use this device? I saw it in a catalog today and

went to their web site to read about it. It looks like a memory stick for your

computer but you put it on your key ring. Frontgate catalog charges $35.00

but the web site charges $44.95 for one and $84.95 for two. Last year when my

family went on vacation I got an ID card from the DARE program for my son

with his diagnosis printed on it, as well as his photo and personal stats and

now it needs updating because he is taller, weighs more and my husband's cell

phone number has changed. I have inserted info I copied from their web site

below because I thought this might be of interest to the group.

The Life Lynx Safety Key is a digital storage device in the form of a key

chain that stores vital information on all your children. Just plug into any

personal computer using the USB port, and you have a user-friendly guide to

setting up a profile on each of your loved ones. Unlike static identification

cards, you can change the information as often as necessary to keep up-to-date

and always helpful in the event of an emergency.

And if your child is missing, all you have to do is use the power of the

Internet to make the important information available to the authorities in less

than a minute. Just plug the key into the nearest Internet-connected computer

and click a button, and the photos and identification data are instantly

posted to the Life Lynx web site and available to the authorities and news

media.

What information can you store on the key?

So much more than any other solution on the market:

Vital identification information like name, address, height, weight,

coloring, etc.

Frontal and profile digital photographs that can be easily updated and

enlarged

Information on relationships your children have-caregivers, grandparents,

non-custodial parents.

Other identifying information like fingerprints, dental x-rays, even

digitized DNA

Places of interest-those places your child likes to go.

Medical information like medicines, allergies, doctors, medical conditions.

And because all the information is stored in a database right on the key,

you can create important tools you need in safeguarding your loved ones:

Identification cards to give to caretakers who do not have a key

Data sheet that summarizes the identification and medical information that

could be provided

to the hospital in an emergency or to a school or sports team seeking

medical information

Rescue card with your contact information that your child, or elderly

parent, can carry with

them. These are great for field trips and trips to the mall or amusement

park!

Missing posters which can be distributed by you and the authorities

instantly
