This page forgets your ticks when you close it. QuickPack keeps them, works out how many of each to bring from your dates, and reminds you before you go.
Three things to know before you pack.
-
One bag for the journey
Snacks, wipes, a change of clothes for each child and something to do. Keep it at your feet, not in the trunk or the hold.
-
Let each child pack one small bag
Their own toys and a book. They carry it, and they know what is in it.
-
Split clothes across the suitcases
A few outfits for everyone in each one. If a bag is late, nobody is left without clothes.
Frequently asked questions
How many outfits should I pack for each child?
For a week, one for each day plus two spares, or half that if you can do laundry. Children's clothes are small, and the spares are worth the space.
What medicine should I bring on a family trip?
Pain and fever relief for children and for adults, allergy medicine, motion sickness pills, a thermometer and bandages, plus any prescriptions in their original boxes.
