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.”
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
