Smart packing plans for trips with your kids — coming soon.
Family travel means twice the packing and half the space. We're building packing plans that account for every age on the trip — so nothing essential gets left behind and everything still fits your cabin bag.
Age-based checklists
From newborn to tween — the right nappies, snacks, layers and comfort items for each child's age, not a generic list.
Stroller & car-seat rules
What flies free, what counts as baggage, and how strollers and car seats fit each airline's allowance.
Family first-aid kit
A compact, travel-ready kit — thermometer, plasters, kids' medicines and the paperwork to carry them.
Every child's kit, packed and ready
Here's the kind of ready-to-pack set we're designing. It's an early mock-up — the real plans will adapt to your children's ages, your destination's weather and your airline's limits.
Toddler travel kit
6 items · ~2.6 kg
A day-bag set for a 1–3 year old on the move — feeding, changing and comfort in one compressed pack.
Sized for a 3-day trip; the finished plans will scale to your dates and each child's age.

Flying with a toddler or baby, packed right
Flying with a toddler is a packing puzzle: you need enough nappies, snacks and changes of clothes to survive delays, but everything still has to fit the hand-luggage allowance you're travelling on. The trick is packing for the trip, not out of fear — a realistic count for the days you're away, compressed so it takes half the space. Compressing a toddler's outfits and a spare layer each frees room for the things you can't buy at the airport: the comfort toy, the specific snacks, the medicines.
Baggage rules for families are their own maze. Most airlines let you bring a stroller and a car seat in addition to your cabin bag, often free, but the sizes and gate-check rules differ by carrier — a folding buggy that's fine on one airline is checked hold luggage on another. Knowing this before you reach the gate is the difference between a calm boarding and a scramble. Our coming kids' section will fold these age-based checklists and stroller and car-seat rules into one plan; until then, the packing calculator already handles the weighed, cabin-fit list.
Flying with kids — quick answers
Pack a full day's worth of nappies and wipes plus a couple of spares, two or three changes of clothes, familiar snacks and a sippy cup, one comfort item, and any medicines in their original packaging. Keep it to what you'll actually reach for in the cabin — the rest goes in the hold. Compressing the clothing frees space for the bulky comfort items.
On most airlines a stroller and a car seat travel in addition to your normal allowance, and often for free, but each carrier sets its own size and gate-check rules. A compact folding buggy may be allowed to the aircraft door on one airline and checked at the desk on another, so always confirm the rule for your specific carrier before you fly.
It depends entirely on the airline and the child's ticket. Some carriers give infants on a lap no cabin baggage of their own, others allow a small bag; children in their own seat usually get the standard allowance. Check your airline's family baggage page — packset's airline pages list the exact carry-on limits.
