There was a topic in adults a while ago.

I have one. I got one because i was afraid of getting hit by a car while walking alone, and then no one knowing that i had cf. It's silly, but it makes me feel better.

I got one from medicalert, because the company gives you a number and the hospital can call and find out your meds and stuff that you didn't put on the bracelet. I drilled holes in mine and make my own bracelets, but lauren's hope has some nice ones, and a CF awareness one.
I've also got a kids "sport" one(basically a velcro band with a slot for information) for horseback riding.
Mine says:

Meds and doctors and surgerys and such are on my medicalert profile.

Mine makes me feel more comfortable, and that's why i have one. I don't think you *need* one, but it can't hurt.
You should also talk to the kid wearing it. I refused to wear one until i was 12. I'd have it in my pocket and wear it around my parents. I was vain<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

You can order them from www.amercianmedicalsupply.com

Its a good idea to have it. I have one that has the name of my CF center and my patient ID number, also my allergies. Hubby has one that says he has just one kidney and his allergies.

Mine says see medical card (I can't possibly put all of my allergies on my bracelet :0). I then carry a list of med allergies, CF information and contact information (hubby, parents and such) on a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper right beside my state id. I refuse to take mine off-- I get all goofy when my blood sugar drops unexpectedly.
