Why do you need the airplane travel with young kids packing checklist? You’ve decided to travel with your young kids. You have researched all the things you want to do. Then you picked the things you absolutely must do. After scouring reviews you found the most kid-friendly hotels. Your dates are set, flights are booked and transportation is reserved. It seems you can’t put off the final task any longer… packing.
Fear not! The next time you pull out that suitcase, start with our airplane travel with young kids packing checklist. It will help you pack what you need and keep you from forgetting something important, from clothing to toiletries to things you need to think about specifically for your young children.
We have also noted whether each item typically goes in your carry-on bag, your checked back or both. You want to make sure not only do you have what you need, but you have everything where you need it.
This is the packing checklist we use when packing for our airplane trips
Sean and I like having this list when we pack, though we each like it for different reasons. I like it because I am a planner. I need to pack methodically and feel confident that I didn’t forget anything. This list saves my brain from worrying that I’m still forgetting something because I have already put so much thought into it.
Sean, on the other hand, likes the list because he is not a planner. He will grab what he thinks of about half an hour before we are supposed to leave and relies on me to remind him to pack what he’s probably forgetting. So, I guess the list is actually mostly for me in two different ways. Regardless, it has been extremely helpful in our packing process!
