## Where it fits a parent's day

- **Hands-free capture.** Record a first bike ride while you're holding the bike.
- **Calls and music.** Open-ear speakers, so you can still hear the kids.
- **Ask the assistant.** Voice questions while your hands are full.

## Things to think about

- **Privacy.** Other parents may not love being filmed at the playground. The capture light is there for a reason.
- **Prescription lenses** add cost.
- **It's a camera on your face.** Some schools and venues won't welcome it.
