And now, nearby perverts know that their victim has an air tag. She should have put that on the child while they were still in the car.

The carabiner idea is good, because it also protects a child from falling out of the cart.

Aside from that, she has several things to learn about self-defense. One of which is, never strap yourself to a heavy object, because you might have to run in an emergency.
