So, parents need to keep every detail of their kid’s diet regimen to improve it better. The app must entail a feature that will help them monitor the type of food, the time of intaking and calories gobbled and quantity consumed. Not only that, in case of the parents taking care of small infants whose feeding time has to be precisely maintained, that app should provide an option to save the times and set alarms for each time as reminders.

This is for the parents having younger kids who have to frequently go out for schools, gaming and sports classes, learning centres or for hanging out with friends. Using the GPS real-time location tracking feature, they can find out the exact location of where their kids are. It will automatically locate the kid’s iPhone or smartphones and keep informing the parents where they are moving and confirm whether they’ve reached the destination.

Feature to deal with emergencies

Many times, parents are in a fix what to prepare for their kids, that are tasty as well as appetizing. So, the app can provide them with some scrumptious dishes ideas.
