 Park N Place - Not much more than a novelty item August 30, 2010
TomP (New Jersey)
This item works as advertised, as long as it is affixed to the floor with double sided tape. Otherwise, it slides forward every time you bump into it (defeats the purpose). I bought this from Amazon along with parking blocks so that my daughter could get accustomed to parking her new car in the garage. While my daughter gets a chuckle when it lights up, the blocks provide much more effective parking assistance.

The item will light up when it is moved a certain amount. However, in tight spaces where it is critical that it alerts you as soon as your bumper touches it, it does not perform as advertised. It will generally alert you when it is moved abruptly or at least 4-5 inches. The old "ball and string" is more precise than this.
 Easy to use & set-up August 20, 2010
S. Phung (SLC, UT USA)
Our Garage has a very high ceilings, so the Park n Place was a great alternative to the tennis ball on a string. It's tall enough to be easily seen over the front of our SUV (Subaru Tribeca).

I bought this item so I could park my car perfectly in the garage. It has worked well but with a couple minor tweaks:
(1) It is VERY light and moves VERY easily so you need to weigh it down. I simply put two bricks on the base and now it doesn't move when you hit it.
(2) The lighting is fairly soft during the day so I have trained myself to simply stop when I barely touch the pole and do not rely on the stop sign lighting up. It works best when you very lightly hit the pole as it bends quickly so it's just a matter of practice.
I was initially planning on getting lasers or trying something from the ceiling but given this was so inexpensive, thought it would be worth a shot. I can honestly say that it's truly a perfect device and extremely easy and quick to setup.
 Cheap plastic August 3, 2010

A few pieces of lightweight plastic pushed
together. Other reviews have noted problems
with height. It is so light that the car
touching it will inch it across the floor.
It needs some way to more permanently place
it--right now I'm using an axe head to give
it some mass.
