11 Child Locator
11.儿童定位器
Child locators are the newest trend to keep track of your kids, most of all in crowded places. Have you ever been on vacation in Disneyland and tried to keep track of one of more excited little ones?
儿童定位器是追踪孩子位置的最新方式,尤其是在人群拥挤的地方。如果你带孩子去过迪士尼乐园,那你肯定遇到过孩子兴奋地在人群中跑、而你跟在后面拼命追的情况。
This little gadget has two parts – one that you fasten for example to your kid’s shoe, and another one you keep. When you activate yours, the one your child is wearing will produce a sound that you’re able to hear even at some distance.
儿童定位器有两个部分,一个部分是固定在孩子身上比如鞋子上,而另一个部分由你保留。你的操作会使固定在孩子身上的部分发出响声,即使距离较远,你也能够听到这种响声。
12 Magnetic Door Alarm
12.磁门报警器
Magnetic door alarms can be ideal for someone who doesn’t want to install an entire alarm system, or for someone who wants to go the extra mile.
磁门报警器适合那些不想装整套报警器的人,或者是那些想让家中更安全的人。
They are extremely easy to install, one half on the door jamb and the other half on the door itself. When it’s activated and someone opens the door, it produces a sound that is so loud that you want to crawl under the next table. It’s guaranteed to deter anyone from coming in who’s not supposed to!
磁门报警器的安装非常简单,一半装在门框上,另一半装在门上。如果有人打开门,它就会被触动并发出巨大的提醒声音。这能有效防止闲杂人等进入你家。
13 Baby Monitor with Wireless Night Vision Camera
13配有无线夜视摄像机的宝宝监视器
All parents are used to the kind of nagging worry you feel when you and your baby aren’t in the same place. Of course there are baby monitors to tell you when your little one is crying and needs your attention. This new kind of monitor lets you see your baby as well, even with the lights off. You can make sure that everything is as it should be, or simply watch it sleep.
许多家长在看不到宝宝的时候都会倍感焦虑和折磨。而宝宝监视器这种装置可以让你看到宝宝什么时候哭了、什么时候需要你的注意了等等。而这种配有无线夜视摄像机的宝宝监视器能让你在无光的情况下依然看到宝宝的所有情况。通过它,你可以确保孩子情况是否一切OK,或是只是简单地看着孩子睡觉的样子。
14 Tasers
14.电击棒
Tasers can save your life. They will incapacitate any assailant without actually harming them in the long run. You and your family will feel safe and secure even if you’re out after dark.
电击棒也能够救命。它可以帮助你暂时阻止袭击者而不会对其造成永久性伤害。带着电击棍,即使出门在外走夜路也会感到很安全。
In most states, you’re able to carry a taser without needing permission. They can be a great alternative if you don’t want to have firearms in the house.
在许多州,无需得到允许就可以携带电击棒。如果你不想在家中放枪支等武器,那电击棒是很好的防身选择。
15 Parental Controls
15.父母控制服务
Parental controls seem like such an easy thing. Parents use it most of the time so that their child won’t stumble upon inappropriate content on the net, or to limit their computer time.
父母控制服务看起来非常简单。通过它,父母们可以将网上不适合孩子浏览的内容排除在外,还可以限制孩子的上网时间。
What many don’t think about is that through blocking these sites and forums, you can also protect your children from internet predators who pose as children and try to lure your child in.
除此之外,父母控制服务还能通过封锁网站和论坛,防止网络骗子假装成儿童欺骗孩子。
