Worth knowing

What lifetime actually means

Service for the working life of the device you receive. Not your lifetime, and not transferable to a device you buy later. If that device stops working and cannot be repaired, the service ends with it.

What happens if it breaks

The one year warranty covers manufacturing defects. After that, Lifetime Pro holders can buy a replacement device at a reduced price and carry the service across to it. See the warranty terms for the current figure.

No price rises

A monthly plan can go up. This cannot, because there is nothing left to bill.

Questions before you order

When will it arrive?
Devices ship in early 2027. Our Kickstarter backers receive the first batch, and orders from this shop go out straight after them, in the order they were placed. Shipping is free to the United States and Canada.
Monthly or Lifetime Pro: which should I choose?
It is the same device and the same app either way. Monthly costs less today and then US$14.99 a month for the service that keeps it connected. Monthly billing starts only when you activate your device in the app, not when you order or when it ships. There is no contract: if you stop, the device stays yours and service pauses after a 30 day grace period. Lifetime Pro is one payment (US$299 at the early price) that covers the service for the life of the device, so if you expect to use it for more than about a year, Lifetime costs less.
What if something goes wrong? Can I get a refund?
Changed your mind? Cancel any time before your device ships for a full refund, minus the payment processing fee. If it arrives faulty or damaged, tell us within 30 days of delivery and we replace it free. Every device has a one year warranty against defects. If we ever cannot ship your order, you get a full refund. Read the warranty.
Does it listen to my child?
No. It never listens and it never records. It shares location and nothing else, so it raises no recording question at school. Location is encrypted, only the people you invite can see it, and we never sell or share it. You can delete your data from the app at any time.
Does it work in Canada and the United States?
Yes, across both countries. It has its own SIM built in, so there is no phone plan to buy and no roaming fees. It works anywhere with cell coverage, no WiFi needed.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 4 days on a charge, depending on use, so most families charge it about twice a week. It charges over USB-C, and the app shows the battery level.

Lifetime service and the warranty are different things

Lifetime covers the service. The hardware carries the same one year warranty as every other device, and StepSafe Care extends that to two. If the device fails outside warranty, Lifetime holders can replace it at a reduced price and keep the service.
