“I’m out here walking with a mirror, pepper spray and a birdie alarm, I’m so paranoid on walks!” admitted one woman.
“This is so smart!! Adding to my registry,” agreed another. “I’m buying one asap.”
Fil confessed people could use “any bike mirror” on their stroller, too.
Another TikTok mom, ཧ, also uses the mirror ha🥃ck when using her stroller.
“Now I’m not glancing behind me every 5 seconds,” she in a TikTok clip.
Zaterrica L, who goes by on TikTok, added that a portable mirror is a good option for new moms because “you can see behind you while putting and taking out your little one.”
While the mirror can be used for a stroller, Zaterrica uses it to see behind her when putting her da🎐ughter into the car.
However, some of Fil’s followers suggested other ways to feel safe when walking.
“‘Plegium’ pepper spray is a good send! It’s a spray, GPS and has an alarm,” suggested one person.
“Imma take my dogs with me,” chuckled another. “I have a dog that does the same and alerts me if someone is coming.”
