A mom has taken to TikTok to share her clever hack for keeping kids safer on days out.
In a footage posted on May 20, Shari Medini, who is known online as Adorethemparenting, revealed her method while standing in her kitchen.
She told viewers: "Keep your kids safer this summer with this super easy mom hack.
"All you have to do is buy a pack of these Tyvek wrist bands – they're like 500 in a pack for less than $10."
She then pulled out a marker pen and wrote her name and phone number on the white bands, explaining: "Keep them in your car with a Sharpie and then, whenever you get to your destination, just write your name and your phone number and put it on your kid's wrist.
"It's water-proof, cheap, easy, and it might give you a little bit of peace of mind while you're out and about having fun this summer."
Medini captioned the video, which can be watched here, writing: "Easy mom hack to help with kid safety this summer #momhack #momhacks #kidsafety #familytravel."

Many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts on the method.
One TikTok user, Jessica Waller, wrote: "This is a great idea!!!!"
Another person, Liptonchickennoodle, added: "And kids LOVE wristbands! I would keep mine on from the pool for dayssss because I felt cool."
Caroline Nault-Ameis typed: "Most theme parks do this for you at guest services. But great idea mom."
Lil Miss Tino gushed: "Oh my gosh, this is brilliant!!!!!!!!!"
Anna walker explained: "I do this with my daughter. She's deaf so I wear one too so they match and people can easily spot me if she's non verbal."
Some people didn't quite agree with the trick, with Donya Tinbergen writing: "Never write your name on them!!! It is a way to lure your kid."
However a woman by the name of Isla Grace, suggested a small moderation that would help solve that point: "I always write the relation to the child instead of the actual name i.e. aunt or sister."
TikTok is awash with many creative tips and tricks. We especially love this method for serving pineapple, without having to use a knife.
All you need is to roll, pound and bash it and the segments come away in your hands.
