How it works

1. Set up Safe Kids in the Greenlight app

Install the Greenlight app, then scan the QR code on your device to activate it

2. Charge it and clip it on

Connect to Wi-Fi during setup for faster location updates, then tuck it into your kid's backpack or pocket.

3. See where they are, anytime

Track live location in the app and get notified when they arrive at or leave places like school or home.
They're ready for more freedom. They're not ready for a phone.

Most kids get their first phone around ten. Most parents wish it were later — and the reason it happens early is usually the same: the moment they start walking home alone, you lose visibility.

Safe Kids gives you the visibility back without handing over a screen. Live location, place alerts, and an SOS button they can press. No apps. No games. No group chats. No notifications at 11pm.

One ounce. Clips to a backpack. Lasts a month on a charge.

FAQs

Who can see my child's location data?

Only the account owner and person you have added to share the location with will be able to see the location and no one else. Your child's location data stays private

How accurate is the location? Can it track near and far?

Greenlight’s tracker uses advanced Hybrid Location Technology, combining Wifi, IoT Mobile Networks, and GPS satellites to deliver global location precision. That means stronger network coverage, no matter the distance between your phone and the device, even in areas of poor cell signal.

Outdoor GPS (Global Positioning system) range is accurate within 3-5 meters/ 10-16 feet.
Indoor WPS (Wi-Fi Positioning System) range is accurate within 10-30 meters / 33-98 feet.

Should GPS and WPS fail, our Cell Tower Triangulation is accurate with 100-250 meters / 328 to 820 feet.

How frequently does the location update?

Control the frequency of your device’s locations updates within your application:

  • Emergency mode: Provides location updates every 60 seconds for 60 minutes after Emergency mode has been activated. After 60 minutes, Emergency mode reverts to Standard mode to preserve battery. Emergency mode is also enabled when the device’s SOS mode is triggered with a tap of its button.
  • Standard mode: The device’s default tracking mode. Provides a location update every 5 minutes if a location change is detected.
  • Eco mode: Provides a location update every 10 minutes if a location change is detected.
How long does the battery last?

While other trackers last just a few days, Greenlight’s tracker has a powerful 750mAh rechargeable battery: on a single charge, the battery can last between 2 and 4 weeks depending on the location update setting (every 5 or 10 minutes), and on environmental conditions including cellular network coverage.

Does the device work internationally?

Greenlight Safe Family Devices are supported in 120+ countries worldwide.

How big is the device?

Weighing just an ounce, our compact device is just 0.65 inches thick.
Dimensions:
47 x 37 x 17mm
1.8 x 1.4 x 0.65 inch

What’s included with my purchase?

Included with your tracking device are the device’s embedded SIM card, a USB-C charging cable, fabric case, a wrist lanyard, a set up instruction guide and your device’s data subscription.

Why is the subscription required?

To leverage the Greenlight Safe Kids device's precise location tracking, place alerts, SOS alerts, and more, your device requires a subscription data plan, which may be cancelled at any time.

I already have a Greenlight plan - will this work with it?

Yes, it should work along side your greenlight plan. You could scan the device qr code and it will automatically get added to your existing greenlight account

How do I cancel my renewal?

You can manage or disable auto-renewal for your subscription under Device Settings in the Greenlight app.

Greenlight Safe Kids - GPS tracker

Works great so far!

I’ve been keeping this tracker in my 7-year-old daughter’s backpack for the last four months, and it’s been fantastic. It reliably notifies me when she leaves school for park visits or field trips, and the app's movement history is incredibly detailed. The accuracy is impressive—I can even see exactly which building she’s in at school. I also set up place alerts for her school, gym, and swimming classes, so I know the exact moment she arrives and leaves. We even used it on a recent Disneyland trip, and it worked well to keep track of her and my wife in the massive crowds. The battery life is great as well - only have to charge it every 3-4 weeks. Overall, it's a great device and I'd recommend it.

Finally found something that gives me peace of mind without giving my kid a smartphone

Reviewed after 3 months of daily use

I was honestly pretty hesitant to buy a kids tracker at first—I didn’t want to be that overbearing parent, but my 7-year-old recently started walking home from the bus stop with neighbourhood kids, and my anxiety was through the roof. We also didn't want to hand him a full smartphone or a smartwatch loaded with games and distractions.

After using this tracker for about three months now, I can say it was worth every single cent.

What’s actually worked well for us:
Real-world GPS accuracy: The first week we got it, I secretly tested the live tracking while my husband walked our son to the park. The location updated super smoothly on my phone as they moved down the street. It’s comforting knowing I can check where he is without bugging him.

No screens or distractions: This was huge for us. He can't play games on it, browse the web, or get distracted in class. It just sits on his wrist/backpack and does its job.

The SOS button is foolproof: He knows that if he ever feels unsafe or lost, pressing it alerts my phone immediately. We haven't had a real emergency, but just having that button there takes a huge weight off my shoulders.

Actually kid-proof: My kid is rough on his stuff.

A quick tip for setup:
Pro-Tip on Safe Zones: When you set up your home "Safe Zone" in the app, make the circle slightly bigger than your actual house/yard. At first, I drew it right around our property line, and I kept getting false "left home" alerts whenever he went out to the driveway to ride his scooter. Expanding the radius by just a tiny bit fixed it completely. Also setup safe zones for school as well

Also would suggest to setup home wifi so location is updating frequently
