In order to traveling with kids efficiently and effectively
Packing for both yourself and your kids for a trip can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. By organizing early and bucketing what you need to pack by person and location you can pack effectively and efficiently for you and your little ones. Here are a few steps to take before building your personalized packing lists…
1) Check the weather – to ensure you have the right items for you and your kids
2) Identify if you have access to a washer and dryer – if you do you can cut clothes in half!
3) Start a list of what you will need access to on the plane or in the car and what can be packed away.
List-making: To ensure this is personalized and your packing doesn’t become excessive it is important to bucket items into a few categories.
- Carry on items: What toys and/or items will you need access to during travel- this will also include additional clothes for everyone because it is always good to be prepared.
- Morning of packing: which includes sleep items, toiletries, food from the fridge, chargers etc.
- Clothing: What clothes do you need? (this could also be broken down into daytime, evening, workout, etc.)
