The Australian mother shared tips from her trip on her TikTok page.
“I was recently in the city with my two kids and here are my hotel travel tips with kids that will make your life on the road so much easier,” said Nikolina.
Before checking into the Novotel in Darling Square, the wise mother asked in advance to set up two portable cots with full bedding in the room.
“This has saved me from packing children’s bedding and portable cribs that take up so much space in the cabin of your car,” she explained.
The mother described her second trip as “life-changing” as it helped her children sleep well throughout the trip.
“Most hotel room alarm clocks actually have a Bluetooth speaker function, so they double as a white noise machine. This is life changing,” she said.
Nikolina also asked for toys and activities to keep her children occupied at all times.
She said: “Another thing I asked the hotel for was children’s activities and toys when I arrived.”
“This meant the children were kept busy with some toys, coloring books and some stuffed animals for my little one.
“I didn’t have to pack as many kids’ toys as I thought I would.”
Nikolina isn’t the only mom sharing her clever kid hacks.
A travel expert has found the perfect item to keep the kids entertained on the way to a vacation destination.
