PackPerfect

Packing list for travelling with kids

These are the extras for travelling with children. The list is the same for one child or three, so change the counts to suit yours.

The spare clothes for the journey are for the children, but flight attendant Christie Poulton suggests a change for yourself too (opens in a new tab), in case of a nappy accident or sickness on the way.

In PackPerfect these items start out as yours. Add each child to the trip, then make them the owner of their items.
