The following post is part of a compensated partnership with Master Lock. Opinions are 100% my own.
We've already started school here in the Knerl household, and some people have mistakenly assumed that -- being a homeschool family -- we have no need of items like locks that many kids use to lock up their valuables at school.
Since my kids take swimming lessons, participate in volleyball, and travel during the year for programs just like other kids, however, we do find ourselves asking questions like "Where can I store our iPhone while the game is going on?" and "Will my iPod be safe during practice?"
To help ease some of the anxiety that can occur when shuffling kids from one activity to the other, it's important to have an action plan in place for storing valuables. Our first rule of thumb is to leave it home. But what if the kids absolutely have to take it with them?
Since we homeschool on the road (thus needing the iPhone) and cell phones are necessary for post game communication, we were thrilled to receive a Master Lock 5900D SafeSpace to try out with our own valuables. This slick-looking case holds quite a bit of loot, and it securely attaches to furniture, a locker, or a car interior with the locking mechanism.
Here are some interesting stats regarding kids, locks, and valuables:
