Packing for four is not four times the work, if everyone packs from the same list. Share one list, give each kid their own bag, and tick off as you go.
The things parents forget
- Spare swimwear (it is never dry in time)
- Sun hats for everyone, not just the kids
- A small first-aid kit + any regular medicine
- Snacks for the journey, not just the destination
- One "boredom bag" per kid for the flight
Share the list with your partner so nobody double-packs and nobody forgets.
