At school we use them daily... Work great.
Try to get one that has at least 500 amps for the Rav.
That way if the battery is quite dead you can still get it running.
A buddy I used to work nights with had a cheap 300A unit that he used as a backup on his little Hyundai Accent from time to time when we had a deep freeze.
He would bring it in at the beginning of the shift during a cold snap to let it warm up and charge it if it needed to be topped off.
Wait for a sale on a well-reviewed unit, and practice using it so she isn't nervous to hook it up.
Always remember: Hook the Positive up first on the battery, then the NEGATIVE last on the engine somewhere there is bare metal.
That way, if there is a spark, it won't blow up the battery if it is letting off gasses.
To remove, remove NEGATIVE first, then positive.
Problem is, if she leaves this booster in the trunk during a cold snap, she may just have two dead batteries.
Booster pack, and a set of Jumper cables in the spare wheel well would boost her chances.
But maybe someone could chime in about those dash solar panels that plug into the cigarette lighter? Bear in mind, the lighter has to be "hot at all times" for the charger to work (the key can be out of ignition and the juice will still flow). Otherwise she has to get wiring installed.
She should be ready to call you or a cab otherwise. In the very least change car batteries every 3 years to be safe.
