The girl was strapped in a car seat in the back seat of the SUV when it was stolen from in front of the strip mall at around 5 p.m. Sunday.
It had been left running while her mother momentarily went inside a store.
The Amber Alert was issued at 7:20 p.m. in Saskatchewan and later expanded to include Alberta and Manitoba.
There were concerns for the girl due to her medical conditions.
