I seem to find lost kids a lot - one thing that you want to make sure your kids know (even when they are upset) that mommy's name isn't MOMMY - Mommy has a real name - first and last - so when the kid does get lost --mommy and daddy can be paged. I cannot tell you how many kids I've seen, especially when i worked in retail, that could not tell you the parents name...

If you've got a digital camera with you on the trip - take a picture of the kid... if he does get lost... you'll know exactly what he was wearing and are able to describe him.
