Parental tricks: how to secure a child without a car seat (5 photos + 2 videos)
A month ago, a video appeared on TikTok, which has since been watched about 20 million times. It shows a mother securing her baby to an airplane seat using Velcro to keep him in place and out of the way of other passengers. How do you like this, Elon Musk? 
Lisa Flom from Eden Prairie in Minneapolis (USA) posted a video in which she glued two strips of Velcro to an airplane seat and then added two more to her baby's clothes. It is now securely fixed but still has some wiggle room to move. 
Lisa is known for using similar fasteners and other non-standard parenting tricks. She demonstrates them on the Internet, each time causing mixed reactions - someone angrily criticizes her approach, while others applaud her ingenuity in delight. 
“The best advice for traveling by plane,” Lisa captioned her video. 
The reaction from the audience was immediate:
“So, after you peel it off, the next passenger will have to sit in the remaining tape?”
“My child would start using his vocal cords to express his dissatisfaction within five seconds.”
“The dog kennel in the cargo hold works too.”
“Just bring your car seat.” 
“It seems like it will work at first until the child gets frustrated.”
“Does it work on a 36-year-old child?”
“Mother of a 12-year-old child. Safer in the cargo area and cheaper when you put them in the same cage! Good luck, mommy!”
Lisa Flom, a mother of two daughters aged three and one, writes a blog where she shares tricks and tips to make life easier as a parent with young children. More than 800,000 people follow her account. “I created a social channel around this idea,” says Lisa.
Lisa's previous popular tips include using frozen wet diapers as giant bunion patches and encouraging potty training by coloring with markers in the toilet.
“My one-year-old is all over the place, and sometimes you only need two minutes to do something,” she says. - Being a parent is fun! Having kids is fun! It's a ton of ideas and secrets that will make things easier for you and will also make you laugh while you're doing it!”
