Side note: Any decent kid tracker thingies that respect privacy?

Apple Watch works well as a kid tracker if they’re old enough to wear it safely, and I think the privacy aspects are very good. It uses the FindMy network, and Apple can’t see the location. There’s a bunch of specifics here. Apple Watch used to require an iPhone, but Apple made it so you can add a kid’s watch to the family so it uses a parent’s iPhone instead.
