Tinitell is a wearable mobile phone for kids, with voice calling and smart location features. When talking about technology and children, many people would say how smartphones, tablets, video games and other devices have reduced kids’ time playing outdoors. Many parents would rather have their children spend time running and playing outside, exploring the outdoors than using consumer technology. Tinitell is a piece of technology for kids that actually enables them to play outside more and for longer periods, as it makes it far easier for parents to communicate with their children. The world’s smallest wearable phone designed for kids, Tinitell is operated through the click of a button. The more advanced features have been moved into the accompanying Tinitell smartphone app for parents, which can also be used to geo-locate one or several kids. Tinitell comes in a variety of colors.Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3bykQUeXYsSchatzii Bullet Series
