4 Things That You Need To Pack In Your Little One's Suitcase

The situation surrounding COVID is starting to ease, so now is the perfect time to start planning your next family vacation or adventure. There are a few things that you need to make sure you’re packing for your kids on this journey. Here are our recommendations.

Everything They Need For Their Nighttime Routine

Is this your first trip away with your little ones? Some kids are going to be excited and thrilled to be changing up the routine. Others will be far more apprehensive about this possibility and may ultimately struggle to get comfortable in a new environment like a hotel room. That’s why you need to make sure that they have everything that is connected to their typical routine, particularly at bedtime. It will ensure that they get a great night of sleep on your planned vacation, ready for an exciting and jam-packed day. From kids robes to plush toys and their favorite pillow there can be lots of things worth considering packing here.

Plenty of Sunscreens

It should go without saying, but you’re going to need a lot of sunscreens if you are taking your children to a tropical destination. This is particularly crucial if your child is fair-skinned and does burn quite easily. You need to ensure that you are taking steps to protect them from the worst of the sun’s rays. Make sure that you do focus more on protection rather than helping your kids tan, otherwise, you could end up with some nasty burns that could spoil some holiday plans.

Toys and Different Activities

No matter where you’re going, there’s no way to always guarantee that the weather is going to play ball. Even if you head to a tropical destination like Florida, you likely will see days where it rains nonstop. Similarly, it’s possible that you go somewhere like Greece and you need to stay in during the heat of the day. That’s why if you are taking kids with you, it’s important to make sure that you are packing activities, games, and a range of other things that you can use to keep them completely entertained. If you don’t do this, then you could be in for a few days where your kids are incredibly disgruntled.

Things for the Plane

Finally, if this is your child’s first time on a plane then it’s important to remember that this can be quite a stressful experience. You need to make sure that you are taking this seriously and don’t push them too far out of their comfort zone. You need to think about helping them relax and unwind as much as you can here while guaranteeing that they do feel completely reassured. It could be worth packing headphones that are comfortable for them to wear on long flights. Younger kids can have headbands instead of earphones that fit over their ears rather than under them.

We hope this helps you understand everything that you’ll need to pack for your kids if you are going on holiday with them in the next few months.
