Smoke Alarms haven't changed much over the years, but a crop of new and improved versions are coming out to make your home safer. The Vocal Smoke Alarm is one such item with the idea that children respond better to a voice than to a beep. And of course, you can use your own voice, say your child's name, and even repeat instructions so your child doesn't panic. It's almost as good as being there with them. For kids that tend to ignore their parents voice, an alarm tone is also available.
