A mother has created a clever \u2018parenting hack\u2019 to help ensure her child\u2019s safety during a school trip.<\/p>\n
Naturally, parents might feel a heightened sense of nervousness when their child is out in public without them. However, Shaylin Martin, from Florida, has devised a smart hack to avoid just that.<\/p>\n
Taking to TikTok, the mother revealed how she managed to keep track of her child\u2019s location throughout the day using an Apple AirTag.<\/p>\n
In the video, Shaylin securely hid the device in her child\u2019s ponytail, meaning it was always close to her daughter who is unlikely to lose it.<\/p>\n
For Shaylin, the AirTag gave her \u2018peace of mind\u2019. Now, social media users have taken to the comment section to share their thoughts, and while many believe it to be a ‘great’ idea, others have noticed a generational shift.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shaylin Martin hid an AirTag in her child’s hair (pictured) for ‘peace of mind’ while she was on her first school trip\u00a0<\/p>\n
AirTags are a simple way of keeping track of one\u2019s belongings. Often associated with keys and handbags, the device makes an item trackable via Apple’s Find My app.<\/p>\n
But Shaylin innovated the use of the AirTag, and instead implemented it on her young child.<\/p>\n
The mother showed viewers a step-by-step guide on how she disguised the device in her daughter’s hair, alongside the writing: ‘When your baby goes on her first field trip.’<\/p>\n
First, she took the Apple device, which was strapped into a band, and tied it around her daughter’s ponytail like a bobble.<\/p>\n
Next, Shaylin wrapped her daughter’s hair around the ponytail to form a bun, which effectively covered any evidence of the device.<\/p>\n
To complete the look, Shaylin added a blue bow to her daughter’s hair.<\/p>\n
She wrote in the caption: ‘Parent Hack! I was able to track my baby to and from her field trip today and it gave me so much peace of mind!’<\/p>\n
The clip has since garnered over 18 million views, with social media users highly rating the creative idea.<\/p>\n

One said: ‘It’s so sad that this is actually necessary these days! Great job Momma!!’\u00a0<\/p>\n
A second wrote: ‘As a teacher I see AirTags on shoe tongues, belt loops, pocket or backpack sewing inserts\u2026 I welcome the accountability I adore AirTags.’<\/p>\n
A third added: ‘This is actually a good idea for dates too! It\u2019s brutal out here!’<\/p>\n
Another wrote: ‘As a former teacher I HIGHLY recommend this! Field trips are TOUGH and your kids DO get lost… repeatedly in one day.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Social media users took to the comment section to share their thoughts on Shaylin’s idea, and many were impressed\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, other viewers noticed a generational difference.<\/p>\n
One said: ‘Before there were air tags there was my parents in the car following the bus and volunteering at everything I did.’<\/p>\n
A second added: ‘I drove the school bus to the field trip; I was the air tag.’<\/p>\n
A third wrote: ‘My mother drove the school bus for 90% of my field trips until I hit middle school. SHE was my air tag.’<\/p>\n
A fourth said: ‘My dad was the air tag haha he volunteered for all my field trips.’<\/p>\n
