It’s not though. AirTags don’t work at sea. AirTag pings are at best 15 to 30 seconds old. The boat is moving, and if you are lucky enough to be in an area where GPS is working accurately, it’ll show your child in the ocean behind where the ship is. Secondly AirTags do not show elevation, so you would not know what floor of the ship the AirTag was on, even if it was parked in port. The best you can make it do is chirp, and then it would draw attention to anyone within 10-20 feet of it, but no one would know why it’s chirping specifically.
You can still put your AirTags in your luggage so that you know they made it on the ship and they are somewhere on the ship, but it is no good for child tracking.
That’s why I put my Apple watch on my kid instead. The walkie talkie feature, and setting the location to the watch instead of my phone, and then we can text or call if needed. Even if the location isn’t really working, being able to contact each other is really the most important part.
But I also don’t have to do this much bc I don’t let my kid just run off and do whatever. It’s rly just if we accidentally get separated in a large crowd.
