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?

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.
