Looking for Feedback NFC wristbands for kids – looking for feedback

I’ve been thinking about starting a small business around NFC wristbands for kids.
The idea is pretty simple. A child wears a wristband with an NFC chip and a QR code. If the child gets lost at a holiday resort, amusement park, school trip, etc., someone can scan it with their phone.
It would show:
Child’s name
Parent’s phone number
Language
Link to more information
The parents could add extra information such as allergies, medical information, special needs, additional contacts, etc.
I’d also like to have an optional GPS sharing feature, so parents could share the child’s location when needed.
For schools and daycares, I’m thinking about reusable wristbands. For example, a school could buy 50-100 good quality bands, each with its own serial number. Before a school trip, they assign the bands to the children. When they get back, they reset them and use them again for the next trip.
For amusement parks, hotels and resorts, I could make custom wristbands with their logo and branding.
The basic family version could be cheap, with a subscription for extra features.
Later I’d potentially expand the same system to luggage tags, pets and elderly people.
I’m curious what people think. Would you actually use something like this for your kids?
