I have the best hack for keeping kids quiet on a road trip — haters say it’s ridiculous
NY Post
This is how to get kids to zip it during long car rides.
A TikToker who goes by @jeffandlaurenshow says the “best travel hack to keep the peace on a long road trip” requires a Ziploc bag and a smartphone.
Her 17-second clip, uploaded last month to the social media platform, shows a woman removing the driver’s headrest in a car, using scissors to pierce two holes into the side of a Ziploc bag where the headrest connects to the seat, and putting the headrest back in its place.
The woman presses play on a kid’s video on the phone and puts it into the bag, thus creating a hands-free screen for tots.
“Things I wish I knew as a first time mom,” the TikToker wrote in text over the video, which has delivered more than 50 million views.
The clip stirred a TikTok debate about giving kids too much screen time, with some insisting the hack is “ridiculous.”
