Why You Need a Kids Travel Packing List
Travelling with little ones adds a whole new dimension to holiday prep. A simple oversight like forgetting a favourite toy or sunhat can lead to avoidable meltdowns then in turn sometimes a little parent meltdown. With our printable SFY packing list, it’s a little tool to help relieve some of the stress.
Our list includes:
Clothing essentials
Travel documents & ID
Toiletries & medications
Entertainment for long journeys
Snacks and comfort items
...and much more!
It’s the ideal holiday checklist with kids whether you're heading to Cornwall or Croatia.
For easy holiday outfits, our summer collection brings together colourful t-shirts, dresses and joggers that are made for play, travel days and sunny family adventures.
Perfect for UK Holidays with Kids
Staying closer to home? Our packing list also covers everything you’ll need for UK holidays with kids, including tips for staycation summer holidays.
What Makes Our Packing List Different?
Unlike generic packing guides, our holiday packing list kids edition is designed by us using years of scribbled and notes on our phone lists to make sure we don't forget what we forgot last time. We’ve experienced all the “oh no!” moments and turned them into helpful reminders so you don’t have to.
