FishPal Magnet - Toddler Parking Lot Safety Tool with Fun Fish Design - Child Car Hand Spot to Prevent Accidents

Love this so my kids have a spot they know they have to stay at on our car, super cute design.

My four year old son is special needs and has a high risk of elopement. We were looking for strategies to help with this, and needed one specifically for loading in/out of the car. My son does great if you give him a target, and I saw this and thought this might work—it does! We call these our “buddy” (I have multiple children so purchased one for each child). When we go to the car I tell my kids, “touch your buddy!” They cannot get into the car until they have touched their buddies, and keep their hand on their buddies until it is their turn to get into the car. Same with unloading: touch your buddy! This system has worked great for all my kids, and I highly recommend it for anyone working with younger kids, or special needs. ❤️

A lot of instances where I realized that we need something to hold one kid to while we get the other kid out of the car seat. I have seen the product and some photos, I was a doubter and did not believe that this could work on my kids but glad I was wrong and man this does work. My kid usually does not follow an instruction which takes him away from fun but this has been something that he likes doing. My kid also asks my wife to hang on and touch the parking magnet and wait for daddy to say "all clear" before we move away from the vehicle (like the Croods)- very cute but I was impressed. I purchased 2 and look forward to buy 2 more when they have some deal/discount to have them on both the sides of our vehicles so both our kids can stay close to us while we load and unload groceries, kids etc. Pros: Safety of your child, parking lot discipline and around cars Colorful and fun tasks to work with like count the fish, find an alphabet etc. The palm print itself keeps my son busy as he tries to match his palm and fingers The magnet stays on with usual daily usage, I haven;t tried driving through heavy downpour or car wash to test it but wish the seller/manufacturer could test and update the results No Cons but will update more after further usage and testing:) We love this product and recommend this to all families with toddlers.

This magnet is perfect! For any child that has ever learned how to high five, it is purely intuition. My child is not quite two-years-old, but, as soon as she saw it on the side of the car, her immediate response was "Oooooh! Five!" and putting her hand on the hand. In less than a day, as soon as she gets out of the car, she immediately puts her hand on the magnet, then grins at me! She absolutely loves it, and I don't have to worry about her running off! She likes trying to match her fingers up to the fingers on the magnet since her hand is almost the exact same size. I purchased the Alphabet design since it was the most gender-neutral one since, from the looks of this item, it's going to last until the next child or two! It looks to be very high-quality! The magnet is strong enough for my kids to not be able to remove, but weak enough that I can. As an added bonus to the magnet, included in the package is a list of safety tips and suggestions for using the magnet and keeping your child safe in a sometimes unsafe environment. I would recommend this for anyone who has young children and drives! Update: Someone stole the magnet today! =[ I'm going to order another one when I'm done traveling since my daughter is so sad about it being gone...

My 2 year-old is a wanderlust type. I had seen this product in a buzzfeed list and decided to try it out. She loves the little “Nemo” and other fish! We practice with it a lot, and now she actually won’t get into the car WITHOUT tagging it at least once! I only have one kid, but I could see this being a big help for parents of multiples. Sometimes you just need a second to grab your keys out of the bag, or to move the stroller out of the trunk. This is such a simple and clever safety measure! I especially love that it’s magnetic, so you can easily take it off and put it on your spouses car, grandma’s car, etc. I’ve had it a few months now without anyone stealing it like some reviews have mentioned.

I have always made my daughter put her hand on the car while I load bags and free my hands to put her in her seat. She has never "wanted" to keep her hand there until I got the magnet. My only regret is that it is actually too large to fit on the location I really want her hand to be and have to move it back over the contour of the car where there is a flat surface. This is a little closer to the back of the vehicle, closer to the road which I don't really like, but she does make more of an effort to stay now.

Gor this for my 3 year old son to help train him to stay at the car and not run away when I open doors. It's a magnet so you can place it wherever you need it to go and so far has held up to rain and sun. I've been able to get my son to "go give an orange high five" to the magnet when he tries to run ahead to my to the car and he does it! I let him pick out the design and he loved the train one with the orange hand. I love that there were so many colors and designs to choose from. Would definitely recommend this for the kid who doesn't like to stop or run ahead as telling them to go to the hand and give it a high five can direct them and keep them safer.

My 2.5yo is a runner. She found it hilarious to be chased around the truck after school. This was delivered while she was at school so put it on and picked her up and immediately was like we now have a hand, you go to the hand and no running in the parking lot. She likes the fairy's on it and the hand outline. She understood what I meant and goes directly to it unless she's being held. We do not have a running problem now and she still likes the fairies. I drive on the interstate almost daily for about 20ish miles daily at 80mph and throughout town and it has stayed on.
