Gone are the days of sitting on your suitcase to close it. New flight regulations and frequent flyers have made "carry-on only" the cool new catch phrase. Whether you're traveling overseas or over to the next town, packing can be a major pain if it's not done effectively. Pack light on your next family vacation by following this guide.


Step One
List the essentials. Make a long list of everything you think your family will need. Put the list away for a few hours and when you come back to it, knock off at least ten items you don't need. Remove items that you can purchase inexpensively as well as wishful thinking items, such as books you won't read and socks your kids won't wear.

Step Two
Plan outfits. You will save a tremendous amount of space (and stress!) by planning one outfit per day, per family member. Items like jeans can be used for multiple days. (Let's face it--a family vacation means you'll be with family. Who cares if you smell?) Save additional space by packing only one or two pajama outfits. Kids can wear the same t-shirt and shorts to bed.

Step Three
Wear your heaviest shoes. Limit shoes to three pairs, but pack even lighter by trudging around the airport in your clunkers. Don't strain your back by wearing flip flops and carting boots.

Step Four
Minimize your toiletries. This isn't hard to do with modern-day flight regulations. Spend ten bucks at the store buying mini-shampoos and mini-deodorants. You'll save space, prevent a giant mess and make your kids happy with all the sample-size items.

Step Five
Bring detergent tablets. Laundry facilities are almost always available. Small tablets are easy to pack and your family can drastically reduce the amount of clothing they bring.

Step Six
Nix the toys, stuffed animals and media. Allow family members their one favorite item and something to keep them occupied during travel. Leave the rest at home. Stuffed animals take up tons of room, and odd-shaped toys are bulky and annoying.

Step Seven
Substitute quick-dry clothing for heavy coats and jackets. Quick-dry layering is lighter and more efficient than heavy jackets. Remember--you can never know for sure what the weather will be. While it's good to be prepared, bringing something for every weather condition is not necessary. Cheap versions of harsh weather apparel can be purchased.

Tips & Warnings

Child-size rolling suitcases are suitable as carry-on luggage and lighten the family vacation load by dispersing the weight. Kids love the added responsibility and independence that an individual suitcase affords them.
Tightly rolled clothing saves room in a suitcase and reduces rummaging when you're looking for something specific.

As parents, you may feel added pressure to burden your suitcase with all family vacation necessities. Yes, the camera is a must-have and so is a mini first-aid kit, but go back through your list of essentials and lighten your load before your suitcase weighs over 50 pounds.
