Packing is one of the least enjoyable parts of traveling, especially when you’re hitting the road with your whole family. This chore brings a lot of anxiety along because we all tend to forget a thing or two when packing – starting with these overlooked clothing items.

Long-Sleeved Clothing

We all tend to push long-sleeved clothing to the back of our closet once summer arrives, but it’s still a good idea to pack a few long-sleeved shirts or a lightweight jacket to prepare yourself for sudden weather changes.

Sneakers

Your kids will spend most of your summer vacations in slippers, sandals, or barefoot, but you shouldn’t forget to pack a pair of closed-toe shoes such as sneakers for your active adventures.

Extra Socks and Underwear

Kids tend to go through socks and underwear pretty quickly, especially during active summer outings, so it’s a good idea to have a few extra pairs at hand.

Umbrella or Raincoat

Summer rains can be pretty uncreditable and you never know when they’re going to hit you, so make sure to pack an umbrella or a raincoat for your kid, just in case.

Hats & Caps

Even if your kids are wearing sunscreen all the time, they’ll have trouble protecting their heads from direct sunlight so it’s crucial to bring hats and caps along.

Traveling light on your own isn’t that tough, but things tend to get more difficult once kids come along. If you’re looking for a way to lighten your load and save money on baggage fees, these five tips will get you there.

Carry-On Only

If the airline you’re traveling with allows you to fly with a carry-on free of charge, use it to your advantage. You’ll save on baggage fees and avoid the risk of having your luggage lost.

One Big Suitcase

If carry-ons don’t come free of charge, try to pack everything you need in one big suitcase that fits the required dimensions. Packing essentials in a backpack for each family member is also highly recommended in this case.

Mix & Match

Whether you’re traveling with kids or on your own, planning outfits in advance and only packing clothes that go together is a great way to maximize your luggage space.

Laundry Time

Whether you’re traveling for a few days or a month, there’s really no need to pack more than one week’s worth of clothes because you can easily wash them along the way.

Ditch Toiletries

Shampoos, shower gels, diapers, baby wipes… The list of toiletries and sanitary items you’ll need on your trip is pretty much endless, but why pack them in the first place when you can just buy them on the spot?

Travel packing can be quite a conundrum, especially when you’re doing it for your entire family. If you’re thinking of just winging it and packing all your essentials without a packing list at hand, you’ll probably run into all sorts of problems down the line.

Forgetting Important Items

Having a list allows you to systematically go through the items you need to pack and check them off as you go along, thus reducing the risk you’ll forget to pack the essential items.

Sacrificing Efficiency

Efficiency and good organization will go out of the window when you don’t have a packing list because you’ll have a difficult time tracking the items that you’ve already packed.

Losing Time

Packing without a list is also a huge waste of time because you’ll have to go through your suitcase time and time again to make sure you didn’t forget anything.

Wasting Money

By packing with a list, you’ll avoid unnecessary purchases because you won’t have to buy things you’ve forgotten. You can also save money on baggage fees by avoiding overpacking and bringing unnecessary items.

Dealing with Stress

There’s a lot of stress associated with travel packing because you’ll constantly be anxious about forgetting something, but a packing list can help you keep all the worries at bay.

Family summer vacations don’t come with a low price tag, especially once unnecessary baggage expenses pile up. Traveling light could save you some money, but is it even possible with family summer trips? There are tips and tricks you can use to minimize your luggage, and these five are a good place to start.

Free Luggage

Every airline offers some baggage you can take free of charge, whether it’s a carry-on or an under-seat bag. Make sure to use this free perk to the max, and have each member of your family take as much free baggage as possible.

One Big Suitcase

If you’re planning to pay extra for checked baggage, consider only taking one big suitcase that has enough room for your entire family to pack.

Minimize Clothing and Shoes

Shoes tend to take up a lot of space, so stick to packing only one or two extra pair for each family member. Also, consider limiting clothing by only packing multi-purpose items that you can easily mix and match.

Doing Laundry

Another great way to minimize clothing is planning to do laundry during your trip, especially since kids have a habit of getting their clothes dirty in a blink of an eye.

Toys & More

No matter how much your kids are nagging you to pack every toy they have, encourage them to only select a few favorites that you can fit in your suitcase.
