ISafe Bags: mobile personal security for women and children
My family lives in a small town in New Hampshire. It is a safe area where everyone knows their neighbors and looks out for other members of the community.
Shortly after my first son was born, I learned about Family Watchdog, an online location and notification service that shows you where registered sex offenders live in your community.
- 1 of 5 girls and 1 of 6 boys will be molested before their 18th birthday.
- 90% of all sexual assaults against children are committed by someone whom the victim knew.
- The typical sexual predator will assault 117 times before being caught.
- The re-arrest rate for convicted child molesters is 52%.
These are staggering statistics that all parents should be concerned about.
Recently, I was contacted by ISafe to receive a complimentary bag to review. (No other compensation was provided.)
ISafe has a selection of school backpacks for children ages 8 and up as well as laptop backpacks for ages 14 and up.
What makes these bags unique is the rugged design and the Mobile Personal Security(tm) feature. Each bag iSafe manufactures, which includes laptop messenger bags and sling backpacks (also for adults), comes equipped with a high decibel siren, high intensity strobe light and concealed activation switch.
I chose the sling backpack, which says it is designed for ages 10 and up. My oldest son is 10 and this bag was quite a bit bigger then him. I would recommend for 13 and up.
My family does a lot of hiking so I wanted to test this product for backwoods hiking and camping as well.
I have to admit when I saw the product on their website it looked small and a bit flimsy. I was pleasantly surprised when the backpack arrived. The material is thick and the product feels very rugged. Certainly something that would stand the wear and tear of our hiking adventures. It also has several roomy pockets and a good amount of storage for day hikes.
The best feature however, is the Mobile Personal Security(tm). We have tested the alarm, which is easy to set off. It is loud and would alert nearby hikers if you were to have an emergency situation. The battery has a 2-hour life span, which is plenty of time to be located by emergency crews.
ISafe Bags receives the Top Picks award from The Mom Entrepreneur. These bags are not only perfect for hiking and camping, but are highly recommended for school aged children, women traveling alone and anyone else who needs the additional security feature these products provide.
