Safety Turtle Water and Pool Alarm for Baby

Safety Turtle pool alarm system adds an extra safety measure for your baby when you're near a pool or lake. While nothing can replace good parental supervision, Safety Turtle sounds an alert instantly if baby enters the water, allowing adults to react before serious injury occurs. This product is a good choice for families with pools, or those who spend a lot of time at the lake with baby, but to be effective, the turtle wristband must be used constantly.

Safety Turtle pool alarm system takes a different approach from other pool alarms - sounding an alarm when the baby enters the water rather than when the pool surface is broken. The Safety Turtle alarm base comes with a wall plug, but also can run from a battery. The alarm base must be located within 100 feet of the water. The baby wears a locking wristband that features a small water-sensitive turtle. When the turtle is submerged in water, the alarm sounds.

The Safety Turtle wristband is designed not to sound a false alarm if the turtle is just splashed or sprayed, which was a concern of mine initially. The wristband is easy to operate. It has a small key that is used to lock the band in place after it is correctly sized to baby's wrist.

The submersion alarm is loud enough to be heard throughout most homes. In my tests, the alarm did sound immediately upon submersion in our lake and in a swimming pool. Expansion units are available to cover wider areas, and additional turtle wristbands are available so that more than one child can use the same Safety Turtle base unit. The wristbands are available in six colors. Each color uses a different frequency, so it's important that you buy extra wristbands that match the color of the small turtle on the base unit or the wristbands will not work. I also like that the base unit and wristbands are portable and can easily be taken to other pools or lakes without special installation efforts.

It's important to note that no pool or water alarm takes the place of parental supervision. Babies and toddlers should NEVER be left alone near water. Please use this and other water safety devices to supplement, not replace, your existing safety provisions for your child.
