Teen Driver Protection & Driving Reports

Comprehensive driving insights for families with teenage drivers. We track what matters — speed, harsh braking, crash detection — so you can coach safer habits without hovering.

Crash Detection & Immediate Alerts

If a collision is detected, Life 360 pings emergency contacts within seconds — complete with GPS coordinates. Families with teenage drivers tell us this feature alone is worth it. We also monitor harsh braking events and rapid acceleration, building a driving report that highlights patterns you'd otherwise never see.

Speed Tracking

Set custom speed thresholds and get notified when limits are exceeded. Perfect for new drivers still building road awareness.

Route Visibility & Trip History

See every trip your teen takes — start point, end point, and the path between. Abrupt braking alerts flag risky moments. Families monitoring elderly drivers find this equally valuable for spotting signs of driver fatigue or confusion on familiar routes.

SOS Alerts & Emergency Safety for Single Parents

When every second counts, a single tap connects your family to help. Designed with single mothers and urban parents in mind.

One-Tap SOS

Press and hold the SOS button. Your location, a silent alert, and an emergency message go out to trusted contacts instantly. No fumbling through menus — muscle memory is all you need when you're scared.

Visual & Audio Alerts

Customisable alert types for children with hearing or vision impairments. Flashing screen, loud audible alarm, vibration patterns — whatever gets attention fastest in an emergency.

GPS Emergency Integration

SOS alerts embed precise GPS coordinates. Emergency responders and family members see exactly where you are — critical for urban parents in high-crime areas or any situation where every metre matters.

Elderly Care & Dementia Movement Monitoring

Caring for ageing parents from a distance? Our GPS movement monitoring and wander alerts give you visibility without intrusion.

Wander Alerts & Boundary Zones

Define safe zones — the house, the garden, the local park. If a parent with dementia steps outside those boundaries, you get an alert within moments. Long-range GPS works even in rural areas where cellular coverage is patchy. We've heard from caregivers that this feature has literally brought loved ones home safely after midnight wandering episodes.

Medication Reminders

Automatic location verification paired with medication reminder check-ins. Know that Mum is home and has taken her evening pills — without making her feel babysat.

Special Needs & Autism Boundary Alerts

Families with children who have autism, ADHD, or other special needs require tailored safety tools. We built boundary alerts that adapt to your child's unique world.

School Safety Boundary Alerts

Set perimeters around school grounds. If a child with autism wanders off campus, you're alerted immediately — not 20 minutes later when a teacher notices. Individualised tracking per child means each kid gets their own safe zones, no matter how many you're watching.

Calm Zone Alerts

For children with sensory processing disorders, designate quiet zones. Alerts trigger if they leave a calm space unexpectedly.

Chronic Illness SOS Integration

Children with diabetes, epilepsy, or other chronic conditions need rapid response. Accessible SOS features — large buttons, voice activation prep, and caregiver auto-notify — ensure help arrives fast when a medical emergency strikes.

College Students & Off-Campus Safety

They've left the nest, but you still worry. Location visibility and travel safety tracking for college students living off-campus, travelling abroad, or coming home late from practice.

Cross-Border Location Sharing

International travel? No problem. Location sharing works across borders so parents of competitive travel teams and study-abroad students stay connected.

Arrival Notifications

Real-time arrival alerts for after-school programmes, sports practice, or late-night study sessions. Know they got back to the dorm safely.

Remote Learning Safety

Verify that kids are home during remote learning hours. Peace of mind when you can't be there yourself.

Post-Game Location Confirmation

Sports parents, this one's for you. Confirm your athlete made it to the game and back without a dozen check-in texts.

Family Trust & Safety Testimonials

Real stories from families who use Life 360 every day. No actors, no scripts — just genuine experiences.

Allicyn Oide, mother of two, smiling warmly in a sunlit kitchen
"My toddler started daycare last month, and I was a wreck. Life 360 lets me check that she arrived safely without bothering the staff. The daycare boundary alert caught a mix-up on day three — wrong classroom. I knew before they did."
— Allicyn Oide, mother of two
Neliyyare Mabon, a caregiver, standing beside her elderly father in a garden
"Dad has dementia and started wandering at 3am. The wander alert on Life 360 woke me up when he left the house. I found him two streets away, confused but safe. This app isn't convenient — it's essential."
— Neliyyare Mabon, caregiver
Rabbii Archan, single mother, sitting on a park bench with her phone
"As a single mum in a rough neighbourhood, the SOS button is my safety net. I tested it once by accident — my sister called within 8 seconds. Eight seconds. That's faster than dialling 999."
— Rabbii Archan, single mother
Kalihah Zarfati, father of a teenage driver, leaning against a car
"My 17-year-old got his licence three months ago. The driving reports showed 14 harsh braking events in his first week. We had a real conversation about following distance — not a lecture, a conversation. He's down to two per week now."
— Kalihah Zarfati, father of teen driver
Esteve Whitmyer, parent of a college student, smiling with a coffee mug
"My daughter studies abroad in Barcelona. The cross-border location sharing means I can see she got home from a late-night study session without texting her at 2am her time. She appreciates the freedom; I appreciate the sleep."
— Esteve Whitmyer, parent of college student
Okito Saila, mother of a child with autism, sitting in a colourful playroom
"My son has autism and is drawn to water. The boundary alert around the neighbour's pool gave us back our sanity. He triggered it once, we responded in under a minute, and now the neighbours understand too. Worth every penny."
— Okito Saila, special needs parent
