Mom Brooke King opened up to 'Good Morning America' about using Apple AirTags to track her toddler.
"It does help me feel more in control of the situation. As a parent, my top priority is her safety in addition to her ability to have some independence," King said.
After an AirTag is connected to an iPhone, whenever they're brought near each other, the iPhone will recognize it. AirTags can also be given custom names. Apple told ABC News that the AirTags are meant to track items and not people and suggests customers can use the Apple Watch instead to stay on top of their children's whereabouts because it has more robust safety features.
Parenting expert Ericka Souter told "GMA" that AirTags can be a good way to give young children independence and let parents look out for their kids at the same time. "If you have little ones who may be walking to school alone for the first time or going to after school activities and you just want to make sure that they're safe, [an AirTag might be a good idea]," Souter said. "Parents have a lot of safety concerns in this day and age."For older children, Souter said it's important to build trust and boundaries, and using AirTags might not be the way to go.
Apple sells individual AirTags for $29 but also offers them in pack of four for $99. Aside from pairing them with an Apple Watch, there are other options with the purpose of tracking children. Similar competitor products usually retail for about $100 and require a monthly fee for service.
