I bought this to put in my car to help with tracking my driving. Being able to review historical data is my favorite! With this, I was able to cut down on unnecessary trips. I think this would be a great idea to put in a vehicle your child plans on using. I felt the program was a little intimidating at first, but there is a great support team if you need help understanding everything. There is also a subscription that gives you access to other features, but I haven't explored it yet. I bought this so I could keep track of my elderly mother in case anything happens. I feel much better knowing I can see where she is if she breaks down or anything.
