How to Wear the AngelSense GPS Tracking Device

Updated on November 1, 2026

 

When the team at AngelSense set out to create a location monitoring device for children with special needs, they knew that they had their work cut out for them. The task was more than just designing a GPS tracker that was small and durable. It needed to be a solution specifically designed for children who needed to wear the device all day and wouldn’t trigger any sensory sensitivities to ensure they kept the device on. After all, what’s the use in a device a kid struggles to wear every day?

Through research and testing, the AngelSense team created a unique wearing system. Lightweight and unobtrusive, the GPS tracker for kids can be worn in a variety of different ways that are meant to be comfortable and non-removable. The two most popular wearing accessories are the protective sleeve and the cut-to-fit belt. 

The Protective Sleeve and Magnetic Fasteners

Each AngelSense wearable device comes with a kit containing a protective sleeve, fasteners, and a magnetic key. The sleeve is made of soft fabric to prevent sensory issues and can be worn inside of clothing for discreet wear.

How to Wear the Protective Sleeve and Fasteners

1. Place the device inside the protective sleeve. 


2. Use the fasteners to attach the sleeve to an item of clothing. The fasteners can only be released using the magnetic key. 

Wearing Tips

• You can place the sleeve into a pocket and either secure it to the fabric of the pocket or shut the pocket with the help of the fasteners. 


• Attach the sleeve before your child puts on the clothing. 

The Cut-to-Fit Belt

You can purchase a cut-to-fit belt that can be worn either around your child’s abdomen or around their waistline as a regular belt. The belt is stretchy and, as the name suggests, can be cut to fit your child’s size so there is no excess material or bulk. Once the belt is worn, you can use the fasteners to secure it in place and make it non-removable. 

For First-Time Wearers

A parent can help a reluctant child by wearing the GPS first. Then at the end of the day, show the child the day’s activities via the timeline view in the AngelSense app, as well as Google maps and pictures. You can also attach the GPS tracker to the child’s backpack until they are ready to try and wear it.

Lightweight and durable, the AngelSense wearable device is easy for even the most sensitive kids to wear. The simplicity of the design makes it accessible for all parents, children, and caregivers seeking a quality full-day monitoring solution for children with special needs.
