Beware Bandits Provide a Fun Alternative to Standard Medical Alert Bracelets
If your child has any sort of allergy or medical condition that requires a medical alert bracelet, Beware Bandits are a cute way to keep him or her safe. These colorful bracelets feature cartoon characters that correspond to the child’s medical condition.
For example:

- Mr. Moo: Milk/Dairy/Lactose Intolerance

The makers of Beware Bandits designed the bracelets to be a fun and fashionable alternative to traditional medical bracelets. The hope is that providing bracelets kids are proud to wear will make them feel less embarrassed about their condition and reduce schoolyard bullying.
The Beware Bandits bracelets have a latex free plastic band and nickel free snaps for a comfortable fit. The back of the bracelet has a spot for you to write an emergency contact number.
The Beware Bandits bracelets sell for $5.99. They are available at Target and Publix stores nationwide.

My son does not have any allergies or medical conditions that would require a bracelet, but these designs definitely look like something his friends would enjoy wearing. If your child wears a medical alert bracelet, I’d love to hear what you think of the Beware Bandits. Is this a product you’d buy for your child?
