Based on the chip technology, these have been used on pets, and an incredible amount of tumors develop due to this foreign object being in there. I don't think the FDA would ever allow a chip technology unless it is based on a bio-acceptable material.<br><br>Logan's Run anyone? =)

My son has been using some of these issues to try and get a cell phone. He's 9 and would lose a phone instantly. I want to get him a phone as soon as I feel confident that the won't instantly lose it

We're expecting our first in August and this conversation has come up in our household on numerous occasions. My wife doesn't like the idea of a chip because, as was stated, technology isn't perfect. There are items out now, like Safety Tat, Kids Safety Bands, and Kiddy Card (we especially like the Kiddy Card one time use bands).<br><br>Honestly though, we will only use these as a last resort. We plan on teaching our child that it's important for him to stay close to us at all times when we go out. Children don't always obey, and we know that, but we would rather make him sit in a stroller and cry for a bit first than to pay money for these products. I honestly believe a lot of these items are just new ways for parents to think they don't have to keep an eye on their kids. It's okay to use them, but I think teaching your child and using other methods first should be done before going out and paying money for these things.
