The Parking Pal is a bright-colored, attractively decorated magnetic disc to put on the side of your vehicle.  For what purpose?  To keep little ones safe and out of the street.  When parked and loading or unloading little ones don't always know how to stay safe.  With the Parking Pal they have a visible and physical way to "stay put". I have four children who would be walking and who could possibly take off when I was busy loading groceries or buckling in other children.  My 6 and 7 year old girls know to stay close or they get themselves into the vehicle and get buckled.  This product is great for my 3 and a half year old girl.  My plan for using this product is to keep my toddler (22 month old boy) in the cart or stroller and use the Parking Pal for my little girl.  The other two would be getting in themselves.  I would then be free to either buckle in the baby (coming early November) or unload groceries. When I showed the Parking Pal to my 3 year old, she was excited and wanted to place her hand on the hand print right away.  It fit perfectly and she was grinning from ear to ear.  She is also just learning her numbers and how to count to ten.  Absolutely a perfect match for us.  (Check out the website for other designs that may fit your child better!)  I think the Parking Pal has found a new home on my van.
