As a travel writer, I've raised my kids on the road. After dozens of family trips by planes, trains and automobiles, months spent living out of a duffel with newborns and teenagers, and plenty of mistakes and mishaps, I've learned a thing or two about packing for a family. Here’s everything you need to know to pack like a pro for your next family trip.
Know your baggage limits
If you're flying, don't start packing until you know the luggage weight and dimensions you can take on the plane. Check in advance about carry-on regulations for your departure airports as well as your airlines' baggage and weight limits. Baby formula, baby food and breast milk are usually allowed in reasonable quantities beyond the regulation carry-on liquid size, and most airlines do not charge for checked car seats, cribs and strollers.
