"Well worth it"
My 2.5-year-old is a runner. She understood what I meant and goes directly to it... We do not have a running problem now — and she still likes the fairies.

"This magnet is perfect!"
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! I don't have to worry about her running off.

Keep Kids Safe in Parking Lots
Hi, I'm Denise, mother of three and inventor of the Parking Pal. Parking Pal is a fun magnet that is placed on your car to create a safe spot for kids. Parking lots are dangerous and it only takes a few seconds for a tragedy to occur. When getting in or out of the car, kids put their hand on the Parking Pal's hand shape to wait for mom or dad safely.
Thank you for supporting my small, mom-owned business - made in the USA too!
