Summer Giveaway Event #3: Parking Pal Magnet

June 24, 2008
giveaways

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winners are Amanda @ A Window To My Crazy Life & Jennifer @ Quiverfull Family Blog!
Congratulations!

 

Few things cause me more concern than kids and parking lots. Whenever I’m driving around looking for a space, I always keep an eye out for kids who may dart out in front of me.m I can’t even imagine being responsible for someone getting hurt or having my child injured by a moving car.

This is why the Parking Pal Magnet was developed. Basically, you place the colorful magnet on your car and teach your children to place their hand and keep it there any time they’re entering or exiting the vehicle. Once they have your full attention and you’re ready to load them up, then they can let go.

Now this in no way replaces your responsibility in keeping your children safe and you should never leave your children unattended in traffic areas. However, I don’t know about you but I could use all the help I can get! The Parking Pal Magnet provides just that.

Parking Pal has generously donated a Parking Pal Magnet in your choice of design to TWO lucky winners. To enter:

  • Stop by Parking Pal before midnight, July 2nd.
  • The come back and mention in comments which design you’d like. That’s it!
  • A random winner will be selected and notified on July 3rd.
  • The winners will then have 3 days to claim their prize.

To earn more entries, you may do one or all of the following. Each one counts as an extra ticket.

NOTE: Due to the overwhelming responses I receive for extra entries, from now on please submit a separate comment for each extra ticket you’re submitting. This will ensure that all your extra efforts are counted. Thank you!

This giveaway is open to everyone world-wide. Good luck!

I have tried for these before. It is much better than telling the kids to stand on the yellow (or white) line next to the car.

I love these! I want to win one so bad. With two little girls under two, I need something like this!

I love the alphabet one, because after bathtime every night we sing the alphabet song, and we could do it with these, and they would stay safe while waiting by the car. I am the queen of kids everywhere, so knowing where they are would be great!

My best friend is also having a boy in a few weeks, and when he gets older he will spend alot of time with me (because I plan on stealing him to play with my girls!) so knowing he will be safe is important as well!

Thanks a ton for offering the giveaway

I love the Dino one. So cute!!

We do that regularly with our kids but we don’t have any parking pal. It will be so great to have it so they know where to put their hands. We just told them ‘hand on the car…hand on the car’.

Great momnovention!

what a great idea (as long as the kids will do it!)
When my kids were little and before car seats.. I would have them put their fingers in their ears when I shut the doors. They thought it was some sort of thing to protect their ears, I think. But it really was done to keep their fingers out of the doors when they closed.

My two granddaughters would like the Parking Pal flower design. This is a great idea…when I’ve gone out with my daughter…it is very stressful getting in and out of the car in the parking lots with the girls, (and of course getting them to listen)! I think that if there is a precise place for them to place their hands to stay safe, maybe they will understand that they have to stay close to Mom and to their car.
