In the tech-loving age of today, the time between babies mashing banana in their fingers and thoughtfully playing with an app is only getting shorter.

There are gadgets to monitor how children sleep at night, to test the sun's UV index before they go for a swim and even track your child's movements in the home.

There's even a kids version of an Apple Watch.

Time to call: Moochies are a mobile for kids, and are suitable for children as young as three years old

Calling home: Moochies only allow children to phone two numbers, which are entered using their parents' smart phone

Moochies - suitable for children as young as three years old - are wrist-worn mobile phone for kids.

Unlike a smartphone the simple devise only allows a child to call two phone numbers, which are entered using an app on their parents' smart phone.

The device contains an SOS button that can be pressed in an emergency, alerting the parents of the child's distress and sending a 15 second sound recording of the situation.

Parents can also track their child's movements using an inbuilt GPS on the device.

With the gadgets such as Moochies flooding the market, Femail has taken a look at other, tech-savvy devices for children and parents.

Time on track: Parents can track their child's movements using an inbuilt GPS in the Moochies

1. SleepIQ Kids

This product allows you to track your child's sleeping patterns.

Synced with the parents' smart phone, mums and dads are able to track the quality and quantity of their child's sleep.

The bed also has features to tell if your kids are out of bed, a rewards system for good sleep, a soft under-bed light if they get up in the night and a remote night-light.

It also comes with a 'fearless monster detector'.

2. iPotty

It's the kids version of reading the newspaper on the toilet.

The iPotty was originally designed to help children with potty training by building an 'activity stand' on top of the traditional potty.

The design features a splash guard and touchscreen protector.

3. LilyPad smart Bluetooth Pool Thermometer and UV Sensor

Children are taught to slip, slop and slap before going out in the sun, but now parents can determine the strength of the UV rays before sending their kids for a dip in the pool.

The LilyPad sensor measures 'solar intensity' so parents can make an informed decision about whether their children should wear sun protection, or if they should use the pool at all.

It also measures the pool's temperature, with all data sent straight to your smartphone.

4. Ubooly

The Ubooly is like a modern-day Furby.

It allows your child to combine classic play with modern technology, by placing a smart phone or tablet inside a stuffed toy.

The Ubooly promotes interactive play and understands the child's 'voice requests'.

Each month it releases a new 'activity' that can help teach the child life skills like brushing their teeth or assist with schooling.

5. Apptivity Monkey

The Apptivity Monkey is baby's first iPhone.

Similar to the Ubooly, the device combines your smart phone with a stuffed toy, and is suitable for littlies.

Parents can place their iPhone inside the monkey's stomach, safely behind a drool-proof screen, before giving it to their child.

Together with a compatible app, the monkey comes to life with songs and phrases.

6. Netatmo Camera

Gone are they days where children can sneak in and out of the house.

The Natatmo camera has face-recognition technology that syncs with parents' smart phones, sending them the kids' names as they enter or leave the house.

The camera will also send an alert if it sees a stranger.
