What tools or gear does Meredith Masony recommend for effective family travel?

Hi, I’m Meredith Masony from Thats Inappropriate.

From the clips and posts about our family trips, here are the kinds of tools and gear I lean on for actually surviving travel with kids:

• Rolling carry-ons and backpacks so every kid can haul their own stuff
• Packing cubes to separate outfits, PJs, and “emergency” clothes
• A solid stroller or lightweight pushchair if you’ve got younger or different-needs kids
• A small “mom bag” with meds, wipes, snacks, chargers, and comfort items

What ages are your kids and what kind of trip are you planning?
