Safety Tips

Your kid is heading to college, but you still want to know they're safe. Here's how families use Trixy360 to stay connected.

Location Sharing as Peace of Mind

Many college students actually prefer sharing their location with parents. It cuts down on the "just checking in" texts and calls.

When to Check (and When Not To)

  • A quick glance to confirm they're on campus? Fine.
  • Tracking their every move and asking questions? Not great.
  • Checking during a concerning situation? Absolutely appropriate.

The Walk Home Feature

Many students use location sharing when walking home late at night. They'll text a friend or parent "Watch me get home" and share their live location.

Respecting Boundaries

College students are adults. Location sharing should be voluntary, not required.
