I am far less concerned about the potential dangers of my 11 yr old venturing 12m from home than I am from her having a phone. Of course, our location plays a part in this security.

I will heed the advice about ditching the liners and just go with the Marathon Plus. I do not wish to suck all the joy out of recreational biking.
I fully understand. That is why I suggested a phone that only makes calls, or texts, no browser, only primitive text, no pictures. https://www.fatherly.com/gear/these-...-well-thats-it
