Here is a great app that parents are bound to want. The iPhone app is the BabyPhone Deluxe, a software that assists parents in monitoring their toddlers. It takes the pain of having to monitor what a baby is doing or when he awakens, alerting parents on what is happening even though they are not beside them.

BabyPhone Deluxe works similar like a standard baby monitor: just switch on the application and place your iPhone / G1 in a distance of 2 to 3 meters to your sleeping baby. The mobile will call the configurable phone number when a sound exceeds an adjustable level. So it is possible to hear everything that is going on in the child’s room.

Also, it can record and help monitor your child’s behavior without the need for your presence. You can leave the BabyRecorder by your child during nighttime which may be helpful should your child have some problems as far as the medical aspect is concerned.

The said app is available at the iTunes App Store for $4.99.

To help parents in properly monitoring the whereabouts of their kids, a new device called the Num8 (pronounced as “new mate”) has been unveiled by Lok8u. This new device takes the place of the standard mobile phones which have been discouraged for use by kids due to health reasons.

Equipped with the proper GPS tracking, this device comes with great features for the parent who want to keep track of their kids.

If the strap is removed from the child’s wrist parents get sent a text message and/or e-mail straight away informing them this has happened. The service also has a safety zone feature. So if your child is attending a party at a friend’s house, is in school, or playing in your local neighborhood, you can setup boundaries around those areas. If the watch passes outside of those boundaries a text message and/or e-mail is sent to you. You can also vary the boundaries based on time or day of the week allowing for regular movements.

The Num8 GPS is priced at $218 in the market along with a monthly $7 subscription fee.
