If you are taking your child someplace crowded (such as the mall, an amusement park, the zoo, the airports, etc) there is always the chance that they will get lost. Especially if they are the sort that like to roam. Losing your child in this way can be very scary for both you and your child and if this happens, you want to find them as quickly as possible.

One way is to write your cell phone number somewhere on your child. This way, once they are found by someone they can reach you instantly. There are many ways you can put the number on them:

- Magic marker on their arm if they are wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

- Attach it to their clothing in some manner.

- A bracelet.
