KidAlert! v.w.s. (visual warning system) Parents know how beneficial it is for young children to play outdoors, but often are fearful to leave them unattended – particularly if their home is on a busy neighborhood street. It’s common for children to immerse themselves in active outdoor play and subsequently forget the safety rules their parents, care givers and teachers have instilled in them. A pick-up game of street hockey or driveway basketball, for example, can find a youngster tearing after a puck or ball with no regard for the rules of the road. To heighten driver awareness, the folks at Step2 are proud to introduce KidAlert! v.w.s. (visual warning system) – the “children at play” safety companion. It only takes a moment to place this high child-like figure at the end of a driveway to alert all that pass by that young children are at play and caution should be taken. Its brightly-colored body with reflector-strip decal aids visibility during twilight hours and 46 1/2′ high red warning flag are positioned to alert motorists to proceed with caution. For optimum effectiveness, Step2 recommends removal from the area when children are finished so its presence is only visible during actual playtime. Made in the USA.
Okay for speeders, great as a caution before pulling in the driveway
I actually stopped at a house where I saw one of these, to ask where in the world they found it, and then got one immediately! We’ve been really pleased with our Kid Alert – cars come so fast on our street, and I’ve watched faces of the drivers as they notice the little guy, slow down, LOOK FOR KIDS (!!) and keep going. They may not slow much and certainly not everyone, but it’s been a help. Also, our drive has bushes on one side, so it’s great for having it out to warn anyone who might pull into our driveway that the kids are out playing, and to be watchful.
Good Idea
I love this product. I only wish drivers would actually slow down when they see it and I know they see our “yellow man.” My 4 year old daughter likes to ride her bike in our drive way and on the sidewalk. While I sit out front to watch her, it’s a little scarry to see the cars rush down our street just a few feet from the sidewalk. Yellow Man is very sturdy. We filled his feet with play sand and he stays in place even in high winds and is not too heavy for me to carry back to the garage.
Excellent Purchase
This is a great safety item to own. We put it out in the middle of our cul-de-sac and it is very visible. The color is eye catching along with the height and bright flag. All of our neighbors have commented on how easy it was to see from a distance so that they can slow down and are aware of the kids well before they get up to where we are. You can never be too safe. We looked at other safety signs, but found this one to be the best.
