Parking Pal Car Magnet, Keep Kids Safe Around Vehicles

I slapped this on our car and it worked perfectly to keep my toddler in place while loading/unloading. Unfortunately, it disappeared after only a week or two. I contacted the company and got the following response with an offer for a 50% discount on a replacement: Our magnets are made is the USA and should stay on a vehicle during all weather conditions (snow, rain, wind, sleet) and during high speed travel. (However, it will come off in a car wash). My guess would be that it was stolen. The only solution I have for that would be to stick the magnet into your purse/diaper bag when walking away from the vehicle and stick it back on when returning to the vehicle. I have heard of some people who do this and it works well for them. I think that is great customer service that I wanted to share - though I did decide against a replacement until I move to a neighborhood where its less likely to be taken again. Id rather not deal with the hassle of removing it after every trip. Our window was recently smashed as well, for no apparent reason other than pure vandalism. Unfortunate that our experience with a great product was tainted by sub-par humans.

Great!! I love being able to just tell my kids hand in hand and they put their hands on the magnet and just stand by the car. Great idea and it stays on really well, even while driving through woods and tall brush.

Great for daycare drops off for the 3 year old. He loves it and will put his hand on it while I get bags of have to let go for a second.

My 2.5yo is a runner. She found it hilarious to be chased around the truck after school. This was delivered while she was at school so put it on and picked her up and immediately was like we now have a hand, you go to the hand and no running in the parking lot. She likes the fairys on it and the hand outline. She understood what I meant and goes directly to it unless shes being held. We do not have a running problem now and she still likes the fairies. I drive on the interstate almost daily for about 20ish miles daily at 80mph and throughout town and it has stayed on.

It’s the perfect size for my 4 year old.

I have an active independent 3 year old son who has walked or ran away in a parking lot more than once. When I asked him to stay put, it became a game to him to run away at times. Since we got this magnet 2 or 3 weeks ago, we let him pick where to put it (near his door), he hasnt gone off once and always hi fives the hand. This has been great for our family. We got a second one for my husbands truck.

This is my second purchase of these because I love them so much. I first used these a few years ago to keep my antsy kiddo still while I got their sibling out of the car. It gives me a sense of confidence that my child can look at something fun (count the images, name them, say colors, etc) in the 1 extra minute I need to unbuckle my little one. Its strong enough to hold on to my car on the highway and during high winds. I proudly have it on my car for all to see because it keeps my kiddo safe. The only time I forget to grab it is during a car wash. Dont leave it on during a car wash!

I love the Parking Pal! I have an automatic sliding door on my minivan and I stick the pal on the front door so he stands out of the way. He also will walk straight to it to touch the diansaurs or the fish (we have one on each car) and hes excited to do so. It fell off during a carwash and couldnt be found (nite:remove at the car wash!). We hurried to get a replacement as that same day he got hit by the sliding door. 5 stars in my book! Keeps my boy safe and occupied!

I have three toddlers 4 and under and I often go out with the three of them alone. While I am unloading them, this has been such an amazing focus for them! They are able to each have their own magnet, put their hand on it and wait while I quickly unload their siblings. It is wonderful, the magnet has stayed through the weather changes without coming off! We recommend these to anyone with multiples or even just 1!
