Great safety tool!

I bought this for my neighborhood because we live on a dead end street where we get lots of turn around traffic. All of our kids love to play outside and ride bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc. We place the "green man" (as we call him) right in the middle of the street and when cars come down our street they see him and slow down. It gives us parents time to get everyone to the side of street. I even had a police officer drive down when he saw the "green man" to specifically ask me where I had purchased it because he wanted to get one for his own kids. It's important to teach kids to be aware of cars and pay attention when they're playing outside, but this tool adds an additional element of safety to help kids as well as parents keep their children safe. I recommend it for everyone!

IF YOU THINK.......

that drivers who see a little green man holding a flag are going to slow down, think again. All it will do is distract the driver from looking in front of the car where he or she should be looking. This causes a GREATER risk to your children. Also, on a side note, in response to another review, it is not the police who REFUSE to lower the speed limit (Trust me, I am one. All we do is enforce the speed limit). It is traffic control. They are the ones who you need to contact if you want the speed limit lowered.

This product takes a lot of worry out of kids playing outside.

I love this item and am going to purchase it at Toys R Us because I can't see paying $19.00 for the product and $23.00 for shipping through Amazon when it costs $24.00 at the store. It's only a few miles away. I feel for you who do not live near a Toy's R Us Store.
