  whitecrayon02 asked:

  Medical ID Bracelet Can anyone recommend a good customizable medical ID Bracelet? I'm looking for like a Paracord one. I'm a guy heading off to college a long way from home. Just looking for anything that isn't too flashy but customizable. Any suggestions, recommendations, or other information/input is appreciated.

  Medicalert.org has a bunch of different styles, you can see if one suits your tastes. They also have subscription services - $25/year they keep a patient file that is accessible by medical professionals so they have more details than what is on jewelry. You can also look on amazon. As long as it has a metal plate you can take it in to any engraving or trophy shop and they can customize it for fairly cheap ($10-20).

  Karly T. asked:

  I have been looking into getting my 4 year old son, myself & my hubby Medical ID bracelets/tags. Any suggestions on where to order bracelets and/or tags from? Also, does anyone use a tag that they just put on their child's shoe? If so, do you recommend that over a bracelet? Thanks in advance :)

  Bruce A. asked:

  I would like to get a medical alert bracelet for my 16 year old daughter. So does anyone know where I can get a "cool one " for a teenager?

  

  Emily C. replied:

  I'm 16 and went to medicalert.org. honestly non of them were very "cool" from what I saw so I got a necklace so in situations where it isn't necessary to be out (aka lying down, or doing low activity things) I would just put it behind what ever shirt I was wearing. when I'm in a situation when it needs to be shown (in a car or a high energy place) I pull it out and keep it in front of my shirt

  

  Becca S. replied:

  I got this one medicalert.org. I think it's somewhat fashionable for a medical bracelet.

  Captain P. asked:

  One of our Peanut-Free Pirates, Dionne, needs your recommendation for a tiny wrist: "Does anyone have recommendations for allergy alert bracelets for infants and toddlers? We recently tried a silicone band with allergen buttons on it, but because of my daughters small size )19 pounds) everything keeps falling off. Necklaces are a huge concern because of the obvious choking hazard."

  Tami J. asked:

  Does anyone know of a good website to order allergy alert bracelets for little girls? Also any websites that sell stuff to carry epi-pens in. Thanks

  

  Jodi F. replied:

  We just bought a stretchy epi-pen holder for my daughter to carry her epi-pen in from One Spot Allergy (www.onespotallergy.com). My daughter LOVES it! Her allergy bracelet is from Medic Alert (www.medicalert.org). They have a ton of choices to pick rom and are super helpful!

  Hello - I remember seeing a post here several months ago for medical ID bracelets, but can't find it. Can anyone please share the link with me? I need to alert MDs to my many drug allergies in case I am hospitalized again. :) Thanks for any help!

  Kristena B. asked:

  Anyone have a recommendation for a medic ID bracelet for an active 6 year old boy? The ones we've done in the past, the engraving wears off quickly. I want to get a new one before summer camp starts.

  

  Austin A. replied:

  We use Medic Alert, which is the original medical alert bracelet and is a non-profit group. They have durable products and the best thing for me is that they have a 1-800 number on the bracelet which links to a 24/7 live emergency response system. Even aside from the allergies, it has always been nice to know that if something ever happened and I lost him in a large crowd, he has a phone number on the bracelet for someone to call. Medic Alert has all of our contact numbers and could call us immediately as well as provide any information we have given them on his medical record if it is a medical emergency. Go to medicalert.org for more info. They do a special for kids where you can get a 3 year membership for $30. (I think it is usually $30 a year).

  Yes the medicalert.org does have a sponcership program and I just have to request a form through customer service and have proof of circumstance. So for anyone else they just need to email customer_service@medicalert.org for the infromation.

  From Jenny: Hi! I'm sure this question has been asked lots of times, but now is the time that I really need to know: Can you recommend a good medical bracelet? My son is 10 years old and is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and eggs. He has come to an age where he is going on play dates and birthday parties without me. I'd like a bracelet that is visible to medics, parents, and friends. It would be nice if the bracelet could look a little cool to suit a 10 year old boy, but clarity and visibility is, of course, most important. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

  From Sarah: Can anyone recommend an medical alert bracelet for a 2 year old?

  

  Diana M. replied:

  medicalert.org is the one most medical personnel look for. some bracelets arentoo cute and don't look 'medical' enough and the kid can get them off to easily. my son has had his medicaleet since 6 months of age and I feel so much safer with it on him. i wear one also and they are very secure.
