Keep a track on the whereabouts of your kids with the Life 360 app.  Track their real time location and movements. Very reassuring if your children have started travelling to and from school alone – you can add locations and get notified when they arrive at their destination. Also very handy if you are wrapping Christmas presents and hear the notification that they are almost home, you have about 3 minutes to hide everything.

The app also has other features like crash detection, battery life indicators, you can view on the map if they are moving on foot, or in a vehicle – a little icon of a shoe or a car will appear next to their profile picture.
