Hello,
We are going to Spain, France and Portugal in June and I would like to get my 9 year old son some kind of wearable technology that could make phone call an can be tracked in the off chance he gets separated from us. We do not want to get him a cell phone yet. He had a Fitbit ace that had a cell plan for $10/month but I just found out it cannot go internationally. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I believe there are little watches/holders for air tags that a child could wear on his/her wrist. Or clip an air tag to a belt loop. Relatively speaking, air tags are cheap.

My cousin has younger kids and also use airtags in busy places like the beach and concerts.
I know some Apple watches can make phone calls but not sure if they need to be tied to a specific phone and how it is use abroad.
I like the idea of airtag as well as some infocard your child can carry with your phone numbers, emails, etc.
I have traveled abroad with my kid for years (she is 13 now). Our rule is if you get lost, don't go wonder around. Stay within same area you last saw us. Then we backtrack our steps if we noticed she was behind.
