Would RecommendThis helps make drivers aware that kids are playing in the area. They tend to slowdown just to see what it is.
Works well
Would RecommendLove this portable warning sign except packing didn't include the plug necessary to close the base. Having much difficulty finding a replacement!

Wonderful
Would RecommendThis product is absolutely wonderful. It bright to catch your attention with a flag to make sure you see it. We dont keep it too close to the street because of the crazies driving but for the most part it does its job and allows down traffic some and makes me feel slightly better when the kids and I are outside.

Hard to assemble!!
Would RecommendThis thing takes a little work to assemble. I’d suggest taking a hair dryer and warming up the plastic in order to get the base to “snap” into the top. Otherwise, durable and serves a great purpose.

Great idea!
Would RecommendI love this little man. I love how when people see him they actually are more conscience about their speed and slow down. Thank you Step2 for thinking about children’s safety!

Best purchase we’ve made in a while!
Would RecommendMy family lives in a very rural area and our street isn’t very busy. Most of the people that come speeding down our road are people that know it well. I’m always so nervous that our little ones are in danger. I had no idea what to do until I had seen this pictured on your Facebook page. It was the best purchase we’ve made in a long time! I truly feel like it’s helped. It has an easy handle so I can carry it with no issues. The color is bright and the flag on top is a perfect warning signal. ...

Now They Know
Would RecommendWe always have speeders coming through our road, and it drives me insane. After getting this product I started to see people driving slower and they are more aware of their surroundings!

Kids at Play!
Would RecommendBought this to slow down drivers when the kids are outside playing. It really does work! It stands up just fine, but would be better if it was just a little heavier. No complaints though. May buy more as gifts for young parents with toddlers.
Alerted...from a distance
Simple design, but very catchy even from a distance.

Visible, does its job
Would RecommendGreat item, does its job, easy to see, serves as an important reminder for others to *Slow down*.
Excellent deterrent.
Would RecommendBright, sturdy and easy to assemble. Practically ready to go out of the box. AND Lowe’s price was best by far.
Excellent product.

Worked Great!
Would RecommendThere is a visible reduction in speed of several vehicles every time we put this up. Most of the people that see it slow down(I would say 75-80%). My son even named it. He calls it "Kaka" and found it funny(he is 3 years old). My only problem is that I can't get the flag to uncurl.

We named our first Kid Alert, "Bob 1"
Would Recommend"Bob 1" did an awesome job slowing down traffic, but he was thrown over the fence multiple times, run over, and eventually "Bob Napped" with no ransom request! So our new "Bob 2" is on duty here in Sausalito in front of my driveway, and we installed a Tile PPS in case he is kidnapped. We glued it under the visor on his cap!

Disaasembly and storage not easy
Would RecommendI filled the base with water. The stopper had to be hammered in and removing it was tough as the plastic stopper is fragile. Otherwise, a good product.
