Mum-of-one praised for easy tip to make sure kids don’t get lost in busy places
FAMILY days out are upon us – as the summer holidays creeps closer and closer.
And one mum has been praised for her genius hack to make sure she doesn’t lose her son in a busy crowd.
Kia Baker, a mum of one from the UK, shared the hack on TikTok, where it went viral with over 450,000 views.
She used an Apple AirTag and a keyring to make sure she can always find her son if the worst happens and she does lose him.
She demonstrated how while she was on a family day out in Gulliver’s World.
She said: “If you’re worried about losing your little one in a crowded or busy place like this, I have the number one tip for you.”

She explained that she connected the AirTag to her phone so that she could track its location.
Then using a keyring to hold it in, she puts it the label of her son’s shirt.
By attaching it to the back of his shirt it means it has a low risk of coming undone and dropping.
“This way I know that even if he wonders off a little bit, I know that I can track him to a foot of where he is.”

Many mums praised the hack under the comment section of the video, but others claimed it didn’t work very well.
One wrote: “This is such a good idea!”
“That’s really clever to keep it hidden like that too not on a loose object like a bag that could be dropped,” another added.
A third commented: “I seriously need to invest in one! Where did you get the casing for it?”
Others claimed it only worked if you were close enough to the device, “Not necessarily it’s only if there are iPhones nearby if there are no other iPhones nearby you will not be able to track if they are too far away,” said one.
Another person added: “Great idea, but apple air tags work over Bluetooth meaning you need to be within 10 meters of the device. You need glasses not an air tag.”
