Make family vacations easy with these tips for packing.
Bella Travel Network knows that Traveling with the whole family takes some serious work. With the kids’ clothes and other supplies to worry about, as well as your own luggage, it can often take a whole day of preparation just to go out of town for the weekend. It can also get overwhelming, the thought of having to take multiple bags and crowding them into a car or checking them onto a plane. But, with a little planning, packing need not be difficult. Here are some tips that will make the packing experience for families a lot easier.
- Put the kids’ clothes, toiletries, etc. in the same bags as the adults. Combining the luggage this way helps with minimizing the amount of suitcases needed, making it easier to check bags onto flights, or pack them into cars. Since kids clothing is generally smaller it should be simple to pack their clothing in the same bag as someone else’s in the family.
- If possible, try to put all the kids’ entertainment for the plane ride in one larger carry-on. Though it’s more convenient for the kids to have their own carry-on with their toys, you may soon be the one carrying it all instead of them. Try all of the entertainment into one bag, and that way it won’t be a problem, especially if more than two kids are in the family.
- Bring a hamper or some sort of compact holder for the dirty clothes. With a group of three or more, the pile of dirty clothes can get pretty big and you want it to be easy to manage while on the trip. This way, the re-packing process will be easier according to Bella Travel Network.
