After the merging of countless fitness trackers, wristbands, glasses, now the industry also has something to offer to parents who are worried about losing track of their kids – kids friendly wearables. Budiu is GPS based smart shoes that track the location of the kids and also alerts parents if their kids are out of the pre-determined “safe range”. Budiu shoes come with a chip that integrates GPS, SIM card and LBS functions, which allows parents to access their kids’ location via mobile app, and also pre-set the range to which they allow their kids to go. “Every kid needs to wear shoes, but not necessarily wristbands or necklaces” said Gan Zhiquan, the founder of Budiu. Instead of selling shoes directly to customers, Budiu charges a 2-year GPS service (730 RMB in total), at the same time it offers 4 pairs of Budiu shoes and 1 GPS chip for free.
