Kids Carry-Ons | What I Pack for My 4 & 6 Year Olds

I share a lot about my solo travel on this channel but my absolute favorite trips are those I take with my two kids. While I don’t often publicly share about those, I thought it might be fun to show what I currently pack in my kids carry-ons to help keep them happy, comfortable, and entertained in transit. I’d love to know what you pack for your kids if you care to share! Thanks for watching ❤︎

This is such a great way to put out some mom travel content without actually including the kids for privacy reasons.

Jen..you pack very thoughtfully for your kids..and less stressful! Their little bags are so cute and monogrammed, also!!

[lisaboling]

Jen you are a Super Great Mama!! Thank you for sharing this routine with us.

Always love your organizing videos! In this case organizing and planning for carry-ons! 😍💖

Do you put tape over their names while traveling for safely reasons? Kids tend to give attention when their names are whispered or called.. it would worry me.

I’m literally sitting on my bed procrastinating packing my kids carryons for a trip we leave on tomorrow! 😂🤪😊 Thanks for the motivation!!!

Hi Jen, are you and the kids OK? Not sure if the Highland Park incident affected you but hope all of you are OK. Thanks for the video

I'm taking my little brother on a disney trip in the fall and I'm really enjoying videos on packing ideas! Great tips on this, thanks Jen!

I used to pack for each of my kids in a one gallon ziploc baggie - couple of pairs of underwear, 1 pajamas, 1 pair of socks, and one change of clothes. I’d stick it all in one baggie and vacuum suction it down to nothing (roll then zip shut) and stuck it in the bottom of their backpacks. I did this to make things easier in the event of lost luggage. I did it on the way home too just in case of unexpected layovers. I’d put it in their backpacks first at the very bottom and they knew to just leave it there. (I do this for myself too if I am checking luggage.)

Ten years ago, I discovered Jen's channel back when it was called "myhousewifelife" I was sixteen but still interested in her content despite not being a full fledge adult, but netherless I was along for the adventure.

I'm a few years away from being in my thirties and it's been great following Jen though out her journey on YouTube. I learned many things and can't wait to see what comes next

[disliving]

So thankful for the Post it tip! 🙏🙏🙏 I will make sure to bring them when we are at the Airport the next time.

Definitely agree about not having kids names on backpacks, especially at this young age. If you ever got separated or while they’re away from you, it opens the possibility of some bad person to call them by name and trick them into thinking they know them and are supposed to go with them. This is standard stranger danger safety, in a lot of PSAs by police/law enforcement agencies.

Are you and kids okay and safe? I have been thinking of you after the Highland Park 4th of July incident...of course I don't know what part of Chicago you live in--but just reaching out of concern. Hope all is well.

[girlwithpearls]

Omg. I used to subscribe to you i guess 6+ years ago? I remember when you announced that you were pregnant. I randomly thought of you posting about training for the Disney marathon and tried to find your channel and i found it!! Love from Virginia❤️🫶

[cynthia]

Jenn, you're such a great Mama!!!

[hannahxx]

A few of my friends have older kids (older than an age in which eating random things is no longer an issue) and they sewed an AirTag inside the heads of their lovies and kids security blankets just in case they ever got lost while travelling or out somewhere.

[GirlandQuill]

I always gets such great tips from your videos. Now that I have a toddler and we’re starting to travel, these ideas will be so helpful. Thank you for sharing, as always.

[amc]

Absolutely love your “mommy” content! Would love if you shared more (without it being too personal)- van organization, mom bag, etc

[collecticliving]

Your comment regarding water bottles on the plane got me tickled! My last time flying I totally sprayed a couple who I think was behind me. I didn’t even know anyone else besides myself got hit until I heard them asking where it came from. I was mortified, but thankfully they were understanding and got a laugh out of it when I explained what happened. 😂

Never heard of the paper on the sensor trick. Like it. Thanks.
