Age-smart packing list for family trips
Tell us the ages, the weather and how you travel. You get a checklist that adds what toddlers need, drops what older kids can carry themselves and scales clothes to the number of nights. Print it or copy it. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.
How the list adapts
- Under 6: spare outfit in the day bag, comfort toy, night light, potty or nappies by age.
- 7 and up: their own backpack, pencil case and activity book; 10 and up: a little pocket money.
- Clothes scale with the nights but stop at a week: for longer trips the list plans one wash.
- Weather and transport add their own items, from ear-pressure snacks on planes to sunshades in the car.
