ASD child running away

Wallaceand gromit said:

Can anybody help with this?. My 5 year old is like lightning and runs away (not intentional)  from us. He refuses to use a strap and we have lost him twice in theme parks now. This is very upsetting for us but also for his older brother 9 who refuses to go on a day out now and he thinks his brother is going to get lost again.

Is there any tagging device that we could get to relive our anxiety on our days out.

 

Thanks

I used to have to keep my twins with Autistic Spectrum Disorders in a buggy at that age (I bought a twin disability buggy) because of the running off. Now I only go out with support so that there is someone keeping on eye on one twin at a time. They don't run off so much as wander off now, and even into roads without looking, (or suddenley stop because they have seen something they want to look at and don't tell you they have stopped) so need constant watching but they have got too heavy for the twin version of the disabled buggy and would need to single ones (the single ones can take heavier children than the twin one can) or two wheelchairs. They are 11 now.
