A mother has shared her ‘genius’ method for keeping her young children occupied on a flight – but some social media users have taken aim at her ‘inconsiderate’ approach.
Kristin Miller, from Dallas, U.S., recently took took to TikTok, where she unveiled her ‘game changing’ technique to help prevent her 5-year old daughter and toddler son from becoming restless during flights.
Posting a video to her page, @kristinnicolemiller_, in May 2024, the content creator appeared relaxed as she filmed her children happily tucking into a compartmented snack box tray filled with treats.
In an accompanying caption, Kristin explained: ‘A GAME CHANGER! I can’t even explain. You need to pack a snack box for yourself & your kids for your next flight!’
The mother-of-two showcased each section of her Portable Divided Serving Tray, purchased from Amazon, which contains eight removable compartment boxes.
Each box contained either a savoury or sweet snack, ready for her children to pick as they please during the flight.
Some of the treats in one tray included Chilli & Lime tortilla chips, nut trail mix, turkey sticks, Cheez-It crackers, cinnamon sugar almonds, M&Ms, popcorn and peanut butter sandwich crackers.
A second tray contained a variety of sweets and chocolate, including pieces of chocolate granola bars, animal crackers, Starburst and strawberry-flavoured fruit roll ups.

Over 150 viewers took to the comments to share their thoughts on the hack, with some hailing Kristin’s idea as ‘genius,’ while others condemned the mother’s ‘toxic’ snack selection.
Many parents were left inspired by Kirstin’s method, as one person wrote, ‘Getting it for our next flight!’ while another exclaimed, ‘This looks so good!’
A fourth commented, ‘Um okay this is genius,’ while another added: ‘The best way to keep them busy.’
However, some were quick to point out the mother’s selection of nut products and how it may trigger a reaction for those onboard with a severe allergy.
One person advised: ‘A helpful tip though. don’t put anything that contains peanuts in it. because if you’re told not to open any snacks that contains nuts. you wouldn’t be allowed to open the box at all.’
Another wrote, ‘Not considerate to those flying with serious nut allergies,’ while a third said, ‘If nut allergy on plane then u cant take lid off as nuts present. think before loading it up.’
Additionally, others criticised the mother over her ‘toxic’ snack choices, as one person wrote: ‘It’s alright with a few sweet but if it had bigger compartments you could put nice heathly treat in even fruit too many sweets kids will be hyper.
Another remarked, ‘But it’s full of toxic junk food,’ while a third joked, ‘I love everyone can do this, but honestly if my son ate that many E numbers, the plane would be destroyed.’

It comes as a mother sparked fierce debate after revealing her bizarre hack on how to travel through an airport with two young children.
Lisa Flom, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, took to TikTok to share the insight with her 809,000 followers.
She came up with the light-hearted suggestion that saw her strap one daughter to her suitcase with another tucked in her backpack.
But the quirky tricks caused quite the stir in the comments – with viewers left bitterly divided about the strategy.
