A savvy mum who regularly posts mum hacks and tricks to her audience of 219,800 people has revealed yet another life-changing tip.
Travelling with young kids in the car can be a hassle, especially on a long journey when little ones struggle to stay entertained.
The influencer has come up with a solution which requires just one cheap item that can be found in any Ikea store.
She has used a shower caddy which can be attached to the car window.
It might make your window mucky, but it is a small price to pay for peace.
The mum has put her child’s favourite “mess free” toys including sensory balls, and added a few snacks and a water bottle.
She has sworn by the trick, saying it leaves the kids happy to entertain themselves.
Other parents have been impressed with the idea and flooded to the comments to praise the clever hack, calling it a “game changer”.
One person wrote: ” Amazing idea!”
Another person added: “I’ve got some of these I was about to take to charity but I might do this.”
Third fan said: “That’s so cute I might have another child just to do this”
“I’m so forgetful, I’d put the window down and it would all fly off but it’s a good idea,” someone else joked.
A similar to the video shower basket can be found in Ikea for £4.50.
But many viewers have pointed out a potential hazard from the object becoming a projectile in case of an accident.
And other parents joked that the trick wouldn’t last long with the kids dropping everything on the floor in minutes.
Instead, some people have recommended using a seat storage with sleeves.
For instance, a mum influencer Shannon Doherty uses shoe rack organiser to ensure her kids are kept entertained in the car.
Shannon advises: “Tie your shoe rack organiser behind the front seat and fill it with everything your family may need for the road trip.”
Another woman has revealed how a hidden feature she thought was pointless has changed the game when it comes to getting her kids into the car.
A mum and social media user Jayme has shared how she keeps her young kids occupied for hours on end thanks to podcasts.
A mum-of-four has revealed her four top tips for making car journeys more organised, and people have said they want to try them out in their own vehicles.
