Kini SafeAlert protects your kids from off-limits items.

As parents, we learn from day one that there are plenty of things in our homes to protect our kids from. The same way we all baby-proofed the cleaning supplies and kitchen knives, Kini SafeAlert, our newest partner, makes it incredibly easy to child-proof (and teen-proof and sitter-proof and nosy-guest-proof) any important, private, or potentially dangerous items in your home.

Think of the Kini SafeAlert as a new kind of home security system — a tiny, discreet, wireless motion sensor that sends a real-time text alert to your smartphone if it’s been moved.

No app is needed, no subscription fees, no tech skills, just Wifi access (2.4GHz) and your phone to keep the people you love, and the valuables that matter to you, safe.

The Kini SafeAlert device can safeguard a medicine cabinet, your liquor stash, a drawer holding adults-only edibles, valuables in a safe, your special jewelry box, or personal items in a locked desk drawer. It’s so small, it fits discretely in any firearms storage, which can literally be lifesaving; in a CDC report, as many as 41% of firearm owners with children at home report keeping a loaded, unlocked gun in the home. Because safe firearm storage is essential for so many reasons, the Kini SafeAlert adds another layer of protection against theft or unauthorized use.

If the device senses any motion at all, you’ll get a clear SMS message to your phone — generally in under 5 seconds — so you can respond promptly.

There really are a lot of smart uses for it. If you rent a room or host a rental property, put a few Kini SafeAlert devices on doors and drawers you don’t want opened; that makes it a solid alternative to hidden security cameras, which are forbidden by the short-term rental companies.

Users also describe hanging one on a door to make sure elderly family members are safely inside at night.

Consider keeping one in your car, on a basement door, on gaming devices the kids aren’t supposed to be using — maybe even on your secret holiday gift stash. Especially if it’s never really been a secret.

Order the discrete, versatile Kini SafeAlert from our sponsor, Kinisium. There is no fee or monthly service required — just the price for the device, with discounts for 2-packs and 3-packs. 

Note: there are workarounds if you have less reliable Wifi, or want to use it in a rental home or hotel room.
