Ep. 81 - Safety & Freedom from Little Bird: A Wearable that Works! With Founder Monica Plath

About this episode

Monica Plath discusses the innovative features of Little Bird, a wearable device that enhances child safety while allowing freedom.

Moms, imagine knowing exactly where your child is all the time but still allowing them freedom to roam and play without restriction. It’s possible with Little Bird! Little Bird is a wearable that offers on-demand location alerts and so much more. Joining us on MomCast is founder and mom of two Monica Plath.  As she explains, Little Bird is smarter than an AirTag because you know when your child is actually wearing it. And it’s more capable than a GPS tracker because it tells you when your child is near a parent or caretaker (which is called your child’s Flock!).
