Parking Pal Car Magnet and Children's Safety Book (Dino)

Absolutely adore this magnet. I’ve always had my daughter place her hand on the gas tank door, but where it’s located is so far back on my car— I was still nervous. I saw this product and knew it was perfect. I showed it to her before it even arrived and a conversation about safety was started. As soon as it arrived, I gave her a general area as to where she should put it, and let her choose a spot to place it. The additional book is also great— we’ve read it 3 times now! I would highly recommend these adorable safety magnets to anyone. It’d be a fantastic baby shower gift or even added to a first birthday gift! The quality is outstanding and my daughter’s understanding/my peace of mind makes this product priceless!Side note: my daughter chose the dinosaur design. I’m considering purchasing a few more in different designs so she can choose a new one whenever she wants!

Magnet is great. Hold strong, well made.My issue is with the book. Everything is “mommy”. Daddy is not included in any way. Which is pretty off-putting when my husband reads this to our kid. Especially since daddy is usually the one holding his hand in the parking lots. Consider revising.

This Parking Pal magnet is such a great invention! I love that it gives my child a designated safe spot in the parking lot with a selection of graphics and colors that appeals to all kinds of interests. My son loves trucks, so the construction vehicle was perfect for him. He can count the trucks and keep himself occupied while I load groceries. The magnet itself is well made and very colorful. It is the perfect size for little hands. The book is very simple and repetitive for small children. As an early childhood educator, I know that repetition and simplicity in books is very important for increasing comprehension of what is being read to them. It's written in a simple way that helps small children understand. The pictures are simple and not overly distracting, so it allows for them to focus on exactly what is going on. Overall, I highly recommend this to parents of small children to help with parking lot safety.

I am so glad that I ordered this product! My son opened the package and was obsessed with the book! He couldn't get enough of the pictures and kept saying that "everything is dangerous" in the parking lot. We have introduced the concept of the safety magnet on the car as well, since we already have him doing that without it. It has sometimes been a challenge for him to keep his hand there because, being three, everything else is a big distraction! Now he LIKES to keep his hand on the car and I don't have to ask him twice. I would recommend it to any parent, especially those who have more than one child and need something to safely distract one kid while getting the other out of the car!

This item is great for my 3 year old when I am trying to get his baby sister in or out of the car. It keeps him distracted by counting the dinosaur and give him something to do when I need him to stay close to the car. It is easy to put on your car and can be placed anywhere! We have definitely already gotten our money's worth out of it. The book that comes with it was not our "cup of tea" and so it got recycled, but the parking pal itself is an awesome gadget and safety parenting tool.

We love this Parking Pal Magnet and Safety Book, it is such a great idea! My son is 4 and at the age where if I am getting my infant out of the car will run around unknowingly. He picked the dino magnet from parking pal himself and was eager to try it out. We received the product super fast and were very pleased with the design! After reading the safety book together and practicing in the drive way, we finally ventured out. He got out of the car and slapped his hand right on the hand outside of his door and stayed there. He counted and named the dinosaurs pictured while I was getting my baby and diaper bag situated. The product is well made and not only a great safety tool, but its fun and very affordable. I plan on buying more as gifts and recommend to anyone and everyone with small children. Thank you Parking Pal!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! My 2 year old loves it and **usually** follows the directions of putting his hand there while mommy loads up baby sister. He always says “mommy where’s my hand” because I switch sides (obviously I need a second one!) depending on what we are doing.Highly recommend!

Got this when my son was about 2. I don't have it on my vehicle anymore but he still will stand where I had it and put his hand on the vehicle. Was such a good safety tool would recommend to anyone.
