Thanks to shorter days and very dark car rides, our bloggers have had plenty of opportunities to try out the Spotglo, a light that conveniently attaches to a seat belt allowing passengers to safely read books, maps, or whatever else they need. We hope, however, that they only had to test the Flareglo, a fantastic and reusable alternative to real flares.

Of course, with kids and long holiday rides, it’s definitely better to be safe that left out in the cold. And for only 11.99, it’s a great way to make sure you’re prepared without having to mess with traditional flares.

Similar to our first group of bloggers, our lone Flareglo parent in this round of reviews commented about being prepared. “T and I tried ours out in the back 40 of our yard and it definitely works well and was quite visible. I love the blinking feature. It’s much more noticeable than a flare placed on the ground and I love the fact that the Flareglo will last a minimum of 12 hours.”

As far as Spotglo was concerned, the bloggers appreciated its convenient size. “I like how small it is. The Spotglo stores easily in the glove compartment - even an overcrowded one like ours. It clips easily over the seatbelt and doesn’t add a huge weight to the shoulder belt.” Another added “It is small.  At about 2X3 inches, it fits easily in my glove compartment, seat back pockets and any other storage spot - even my purse.  Even storing three is no problem.”

Additionally, bloggers noted that it was easy to use — always a plus! “It is easy to use, even for my youngest son.  It unfastens and fastens easily with no fancy do-hickies or snaps.  Just pops open and shut, but stays shut securely.” Another blogger stated “Why would you want an LED light?  Simple. It creates no glare off of the other windows and does not distract the driver, both absolute necessities in my van.  It clips easily onto the seatbelt and remains there, without sliding around and therefore it didn’t get lost. ”

And for something so small, even the low setting of the light was adequate. “It’s a bright, white light - I was impressed with the light strength.“And it lasts! “Because it’s so lightweight, the light didn’t seem to be heavy enough to last longer than a few days, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that we’ve have it for close to two months now and it is still going strong.”
