So don't put the child's name on it. All they need is a cell number to contact the parents anyway. When the parent arrives it will be obvious who they are. How about keeping the little ones in the stroller and teaching those that are too big for the stroller to stay with you? Also, how about actually keeping an eye on your kids? It's called patenting. If you cannot do it, leave them with a sitter.

cute... except it doesn't work if the child won't keep it on, it won't be good if someone finds the child and looks to see their name and encourages them to go with them, and it doesn't solve the problem a simple leash would solve.
