Steff Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 http://www.carliesecuritybackpacks.com/csb/home.html Carlie (the little girl that James Smith kidnapped and murdered down in Florida) was the inspiration behind this idea. It was shown and demonstrated on Court TV. A bit pricey but definitely worth it if it saves a child. The only brand of backpacks designed to give you the power to signal for immediate help in dangerous or harmful situations. Equipped with two 130 decibel sirens and a high intensity strobe light, the Carlie Security BackpacksTM are the world's loudest personal alarm system (louder than a car alarm).

Texsox Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Looking over the design, I'm not so sure this is as useful as I originally thought. It appears as if the child has to pull up on a velcro patch to pull out the pin. With someone grabbing them, quite possibly by the straps of the backpack, that may be impossible. Those small security alarms can be placed in a pocket, or hung on a belt. Having one not mounted on the strap may be better. I like the idea, I just wonder if the design could be made easier for a child to pull the pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 But you don't want it so easy that it could be accidentally pulled. I would think it would be like any other "self defense" tool where once you got it, you took time to practice with it so that it could be an action you are comfortable with, and one that you know what you are doing.
