Anyone used RoadID?

I've been watching the Tour de France the last couple of weeks and have been seeing ads promoting a product called RoadID, a wristband that has emergency contact info on it. I had been meaning to do some research about personal medical id's (thought I had heard of one that was a thumb drive) so I went to their website (www.roadid.com) and saw that they have an interactive version of the id tag; it has a serial number and pin # on the back so that emergency personnel can access medical info from the website. I ordered one for my dd; haven't started loading the medical info there, but it looks like you can list personal contacts, medical (doctor) contacts, and basically any kind of info you want. My dd has a very rare genetic disorder and she frequently passes out, so if I am not with her it's very important for EMT's to be able to quickly get accurate details about her condition.

I ordered the id, an extra wristband, and an ankleband and the total cost was about $30. I hate to sound like a commercial and I am not affiliated with this company, but as the mom of a child with special needs, this just sounds like a good idea to me - thought you all might want to check it out too. They sent me a coupon code, I think it's worth $1 off if anyone wants to use it: ThanksElizabeth514963

I will let you know what my dd thinks of it when it arrives!

I think that's a great idea!

We used Road ID for our Autistic son when he was younger and non-verbal. He wouldn't tolerate a wristband, so we used the one that attatches to your sneaker laces.

I always felt more secure that way, in case he ever got lost. Thankfully, he never did!

Sally loves her RoadID! The wristband comes in different sizes, so we were able to get one that really fits her well. She loves showing it to people and telling them how it works. It looks very much like a sporty watch, so it doesn't scream "medical alert bracelet". Really glad I tried it!

My DH has a dog tag he wears when he bikes from RoadID. His feeling is that if he is hurt, we wanted someone to be able to call me. He is very happy with the company.
