A Review By Real Moms Review Panel Member: Julie Miller

Every year at least once, my husband and I travel to Orlando with our 2 young boys. It is a trip that the boys REALLY look forward to. We do a lot of fun things while we are there but the highlight for the boys is visiting Universal Studios. They are both avid Spiderman fans and we cannot go to Orlando without spending at least one day at Universal.

If you have ever been to a theme park, you know just how many people can be there. And if characters are out and about, there can be A LOT of people in a very small area.

Last September we were once again at Universal and at the time our boys were 4 and 2. And Spiderman, Captain America and a host of other super heroes were in the street greeting people. In all of this hubbub, our 4yo disappeared. I mean, he was just gone. Both my husband and I were freaking out. I was so panicked I started crying. Luckily we found him in a store looking at Spiderman toys, but it was so terrifying. He had absolutely no identification on him nor did he know our phone numbers or even where we were staying.

This spring our trip to Universal was a slightly bit different. It seems almost eerie that I was asked to reviews these two products, right before I left on my trip.

Chicks & Cubs has come up with a unique solution to that terrifying experience that we had back in September. They have created an Identification Card that is perfect for our now 5yo to carry with him. Each card holds a child’s photo, thumbprint, name, address, weight, height, birth date, emergency contact numbers, doctor’s name and number, dentist’s name and number, insurance info, plus a medical release signature allowing immediate medical treatment when a parent is not available or cannot speak for the child. This kit provides enough cards for multiple children and/or yearly updates. We filled out one of these ID cards for our son and placed it in his pocket. We told him if he got lost, he could give this to someone to help him find us.

Chicks & Cubs also has ID inside Child Identification Bracelet. This wristband has a hidden pocket that is waterproof. With the reusable ID cards provided, we wrote down our information and had our younger son wear this if he decide to repeat his older brother’s vanishing act.

Chicks & Cubs has been in business since 1999 and is operated by a fantastic WAH Mom of 3 boys. Thanks to Chicks & Cubs we felt a little safer on our trip to Universal this last time.

Chicks & Cubs is also running a sale of $2.00 off using voucher #312673550

I highly recommend both of these products to anyone.

    That’s extremely scary. My youngest is now 13, but I’d love to get those ID bracelets for my grandkids.

    It was horrible. I felt a lot better knowing that both of the boys had ID on them for this trip. Both products worked fantastically.

Got something to say?
