The mother of a Bunnings-mad toddler who went viral on TikTok has revealed why her daughter is such a fan of the Australian hardware store. 

Renae Smiler, from Brisbane, uploaded a now-viral video online of her 15-month-old daughter Saskia snapping out of a tantrum when she was promised a trip to Bunnings. 

The mum-of-two said little Saskia developed a love for Bunnings after going on multiple trips with the family while they built their house.   

    

Renae Smiler who’s video of her 15-month-old daughter, Saskia (pictured), snapping out of a tantrum when promised a trip to Bunnings has revealed why the toddler is such a fan of the hardware store

‘We moved into our new home just a month before Saskia was born, and we did all of the landscaping ourselves, so that’s where it really began for her,’ she told FEMAIL.

‘Between that and her dad being a tradie, she has spent a lot of time at Bunnings!’

Ms Smiler said Saskia loves being pushed around in the little trolleys by her four-year-old sister Scarlett and smelling the flowers in the plant section.

Ms Smiler said Saskia loves being pushed around in the little trolleys by her four-year-old sister, Scarlett, and smelling the flowers in the plant section.

‘She loves the plant section, she always goes up and smells all of the flowers! However, I think it is definitely the mini trolleys that complete the shopping experience for her,’ she said. 

‘They always put a smile on her face! She loves to sit in them so her four-year-old sister can spin her around.’ 

The video of Ms Smiler’s unique tantrum-avoiding parenting hack has racked up more than 703,900 views since it was posted just over a week ago. 

Footage shows the toddler wailing into a bedroom door before her mum asks her if she wants to go on a trip to Bunnings.

Saskia’s sobs immediately turn into a smile at the mention of the hardware store, before she gleefully bounds towards the front door.

‘When Bunnings can soothe your one-year-old mid tantrum,’ the mother wrote alongside the clip captioned ‘Bunnings BIGGEST littlest fan’. 

The TikTok video left social media users in stitches describing the video as the ‘most Aussie thing ever’.

‘I too have this reaction to a Bunnings trip,’ wrote one parent.

‘There is no doubt that girl is Australian because that is the most Aussie thing ever,’ said another.

‘My two-year-old does the same thing and every time we drive past she screams out Bunnings,’ added a third.
