Bluetooth trackers

Laptop bags

A laptop is a serious investment, and when it comes to ones for school, kids aren’t always the gentlest of owners. So, protect it with a good quality laptop bag, available to suit all sizes of machine, made to house extras such as cables and mice, and built to resist the rough and tumble of everyday school life.

Let’s face it, kids can be prone to misplacing things, and even if you have the perfectly organised child, accidents can happen. So, a Bluetooth tracker for their most important items is a must for peace of mind. Available in various shapes and sizes, the functionality remains the same – you can keep track of the whereabouts of a tagged item via a handy free app on your Android or iOS smartphone. Whether it’s keys, schoolbags or backpacks, water bottles, or a slimline tracker in their wallet or smartphone case, these tags have long-lasting batteries, so you need never lose something again. There are even sticker form trackers that are ideal for keeping track of such things as bikes, headphones, and even those often elusive remote controls!

Clip one to its collar. Even big items such as cars can be tracked easily – perfect if you forget where you’ve parked!
