I.C.E. Tag In Case Of Emergency By dsnygrl on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
The I.C.E (in case of emergency) tag was created by a mom who asked herself the question "what would happen to my child if we were involved in an accident and I could not speak for him?" After she thought about it for a while, she came up with a product that could speak for her and her child, if she could not.
Since most children do not carry any kind of identification on them, the I.C.E. tag provides that vital information for them. It attaches to the child's car seat and provides first responders with accurate up to date information such as the child's name, address, allergies, medical conditions and up to 4 emergency contact numbers. Think about it, if you were traveling with a small child who was not able to talk or provide police or fire personnel with any information about them and you were unable to speak for them, this would do it for you.
The kit costs $12.95 for 1 child and is available at goscootergo.net. The kit includes a waterproof ID card, a vinyl holder, Velcro to attach it to the seat, and stickers to direct the emergency personnel to the tag. Once you register online, you are sent an email reminder every 6 months telling you to update your information so it is kept as current as possible.
My son was already out of his car seat when this came out but we still used it by attaching it to the seat belt in the seat he most often sits in in my car. It's a comfort to know there is something there that can talk for us in case we can't.

Sounds like a good product, but gosh... what if another child was in the seat and the wrong info was used?
At must have, they now have also recommended you set an ice on your cell phone. I did, I have been told that the paramedics will look at your cell phone and see if you have an ice # that they can call. I set it up on my phone and also my mom's. This way I know if anything happens they will call me! Thanks
What a great idea! I never thought about it either, but it would be scary if you couldn't help your child in such a hard situation. Great product for a great price!
What a great idea. I have this programed on my phone, good to know.
That is such a wonderful product and even though my little ones don't use a car seat anymore I know plenty of people with kids that do that would love something like this.
What a great idea!! I too have this programmed on my phone & will look into doing this for my non verbal son-thank you so much for the link!
I never thought about that situation before. This would be good to have even if they are old enough to speak. You never know when the information could be useful in an accident.
sounds like a great saving device for any little ones...will keep it in mind for ours
Wow! I do not know what took so long for this to come out, its wonderful!!
I have heard of these. Will be looking into them too
