I use this product to hold my boarding pass and ID. It really does help since we have to show our
boarding passes multiple times going through security and my hands are busy removing shoes from my
toddler and myself as well as getting my laptop out of the bag. The ID holder clips right onto your
belt loops or can be worn around your neck.
One piece of this two piece device attaches to the toddler’s clothes (hidden in back is best
for toddlers), and the other remote is for the parent and can attach to a keychain. Based on the same
concept as a "cordless phone locator", this beeping ladybug will help to locate a missing
child. Can be used on children ages 18 months- 6 years old.
*When flying and in airports, keeping your child nearby is a must. I like to use the
Two in One Harness Buddy for toddlers.
Contact information is kept private inside a stick-on pocket, but a good thing to have on your child if they get separated from you. I write my name, cell phone number, and a back up number on the contact form.

My son has the puppy harness and loves to buckle it himself. I have found that it can be very helpful to alleviate fears about going through security. He tends to focus on being the caretaker of "Puppy" and tells his little puppy that he has to go for a ride on the belt if he wants to go on the airplane. My son is usually so focused on getting through the metal detector to see puppy come through the other side of the belt, that he is not intimidated by the metal detector itself.
The puppy harness is put away with his suitcase when we are not traveling, so he is happy to see it when we get it out. He also uses the puppy as something to hug on the airplane (and can double as a pillow) – it is really soft!
Many people comment on how cute it is – and it really does help when my hands are full to feel that "tail" around my wrist. When we walk through the airport, I hold my son’s hand, even though the tail is around my wrist. I keep him close and he is used to that. That way when I have to let go of his hand, he tends to stay close from habit, but if he gets distracted, I still have the tail of the puppy around my wrist.
This product is becoming a familiar sight in airports and all the parents I have spoken with are happy with it.
I use the Whos Shoes Child ID. I feel strongly that if I should get separated from my son, someone
could immediately notify me when finding him. I write my name and my husband’s name as well as our cell
phone numbers as the contact information.
The tag Velcro’s over the laces or Velcro straps of shoes.
