Holidaying with kids can sometimes feel less holiday, more like the ultimate test of your organisational powers.
This means tricks and tips to make travelling any easier are always welcome, and it’s why some 2.5 million people have watched Jade O’Neal’s genius TikTok travelling hack video showing the simple Amazon system she swears by.
The mum of a toddler tells her viewers how a cheap shoe organiser you can buy from Amazon has changed the way she packs.

“This hack is about to change your life,” Jade says.
“I grabbed one of these over the door shoe organisers from Amazon and I just started laying out all her outfits… and then I put each outfit into its own pocket.”
Jade shows how she folds her daughter’s outfit for each day into a single pocket, including a nappy and any accessories like a hair bow or socks she might wear.
The 24-pocket organiser means she has enough room for three rows of clothes and then a row for swimsuits, another for pyjamas and a final one for extras like nappies and wipes.
“This folds up right in your suitcase,” she explains, concertinaing it neatly into her case.
“When you get to your destination you can hang it on a door in your hotel room and then everything is super accessible, ready to go and you don’t have to dig around in a suitcase your entire vacation.”
Viewers have liked the video 185,000 times and travelling parents all agree it’s one to try.
“My jaw literally dropped seeing this. How have I made it in life this long?” joked one viewer.
“I just ordered from Amazon and doing this!!! Genius,” said someone else.
Some comments do point out some obvious issues with the hack though.
“Yes, but my baby goes through like three outfits a day,” said one.
“It folds up but will it take up more space than my baby’s clothes,” said another.
You can buy a similar shoe organiser to the one Jade buys in the States on Amazon here for $16.29.
