2
Attach to your child's gear Backpack, lunchbox, sports bag, instrument case-anything that gets set down.
3
Finder taps -> you get a message The finder sends a quick note so you can coordinate return safely.

Not a tracker - a smarter label.

VC Connect Tag is intentionally simple. It doesn't "track" your child or broadcast signals. It's a privacy-first lost & found system that works when someone finds the item.

Easy for a helper to do the right thing "Tap here to message the parent" is faster than guessing whose it is.
Privacy stays protected No address. No phone number. No personal details printed on the outside.

Everyday recovery moments

Common situations where a simple tap-to-message tag can help.

A lunchbox gets left at aftercare. A staff member taps the tag and sends a quick message so pickup is easy to coordinate.

Lunchboxes & aftercare

A backpack ends up in the wrong classroom or bus area. The finder can contact you without your phone number printed outside.

Backpacks & school gear

One tag goes on the sports bag and one goes on the backpack, giving busy weeks a simple recovery path without batteries.
