Family travel, road trips, the car and moving house

Questions families ask
Straight answers about this.
What do I need to pack for a family road trip?
Pack by job rather than by person: a snack bag, an activity bag per child, a cleanup kit, an overnight bag and a care bag with any medicines in their original packaging.
Use the packing listHow do I keep medicines organized safely?
Keep medicines in their original labeled packaging, stored up high and out of sight in a place children cannot reach, and check expiration dates twice a year. Your pharmacist can advise on disposal.
See the first aid systemWhen should I start packing to move house?
Start about six weeks out with the rooms you use least, and pack the rest room by room in the last two weeks. Pack a first-night box with bedding, pajamas, toothbrushes, medicines and chargers.
