Going places with your family? Planning and preparation is an important part of family travel, whether you are heading out by car, train, plane or boat. Once you’ve checked the climate conditions and for any special requirements or equipment such as beach gear, biking paraphernalia, sporting goods and the like, you’ll have a better idea of what to pack in the way of wardrobe, then it’s time to think about what the kids will need and want. Selecting and packing children’s luggage takes a bit of time and thought but your trip will be more enjoyable if everyone has what they need, plus the kids can take responsibility and help carry their belongings.
