Factor in your older kid heading out on a trip with friends to a beachside destination, parents’ anxieties can reach an all-time high. Ease your stress this spring break with Silent Beacon, a safety device providing instant emergency responses without the need to unlock a phone or rely on stable cell service.

Silent Beacon comes with global safety coverage, meaning the device works internationally, whether in the United States, or Mexico and beyond. The device also features a one-button emergency alert, making calls to 911 or the destination’s local emergency number. Users can speak directly with emergency responders, too, even if they can’t reach their phone. This button also instantly notifies up to six personal contacts via text, email and live GPS tracking.

There’s even a silent mode for discreet alerts, sending emergency notifications without drawing attention when in a specific situation. Additionally, there’s no monthly fees, simply a one-time purchase with no hidden costs for the basic plan.

 

The device is simple in appearance and comes with a wristband to be worn like a watch, meaning even your fashionable college son or daughter won’t feel they’re wearing something out of place.

 

Silent Beacon begins at $79.99.
