Road ID for my kid - blood type?

[Miranda]

I own two of the simple velcro versions that strap onto your wrist.

How I remember to wear my RoadID is by velcro-ing it to the straps of my helmet. I never ride without my helmet. Therefore, I put the helmet on and the RoadID at the same time. Oh, two IDs as I have two helmets I alternate between depending on which bike I'm riding. Trying to switch one ID between helmets just caused me to forget it. Thus, a second one was well worth in keeping with the routine.

Fwiw, I've had contact with their customer service person before in the past and it was a great experience. Love their compnay.

I think the velcro would be better than the silicon one. You're right, everyone has those bands these days. I would never think to look at a silicon band for medical info.

I would also skip anything not directly attached to your body ie the shoe tag or even the dog tag version. Clothing gets lost and necklaces get ripped or cut off. The ankle version seems good but it won't be seen as quickly as the wrist band.

Remember, the time you're going to need this is if you can't speak for yourself. You want it to be OBVIOUS to the paramedics and the ER people.

If you have any significant medical problems or just want more info available the interactive version looks great. I like that you can post a picture of yourself. That would be very helpful to the ER in identifying you. They can compare your Road ID to the actual picture for verification.

FWIW, I wear a Medic Alert tag because of my pacemaker. It has the same accessable info as the Road ID interactive, but without the picture capability.

In answer to another question, ANY medication allergy is worth noting. Food allergies aren't as big a deal EXCEPT for shellfish or iodine allergies. Those are important because some places still use contrast with an iodine base for CT scans. You should note those.
