Family travel has its own packing logic. There's the bag that holds everyone's extra clothes, the bag you can reach into while boarding a plane, and the smaller one you take when the rest can stay in the hotel room. A good mix lets you carry what the day calls for without hauling the entire trip along.
For Flights With Kids: Large Bancroft Backpack
The Large Bancroft Backpack is a practical choice for the flight, especially when your carry-on needs to hold something for everyone.
Adjustable shoulder straps leave your hands free, and the trolley sleeve lets you secure the backpack over a suitcase handle while you move through the airport. Once you've found your seats, you'll know where to look for the headphones, the coloring book, and the snack someone suddenly needs right now.
Dimensions: 12.0" w x 16.5" h x 9.0" d
Favorite Features:
- • Three compartments to separate snacks and activities from your own essentials
- • Front zip pocket with four slip pockets and a pen slip
- • Two exterior slip pockets offer room for water bottles
- • Separate compartment accommodates a laptop up to 15” (or coloring books!)
For the Things You Need Before You Can Sit Down: Original Zip Hipster
You can pack beautifully and still need your phone while your backpack is out of reach. The Original Zip Hipster gives those essentials a place closer at hand. Its slim crossbody shape works well alongside your larger carry-on item. Wear it through the airport, then take it on its own for a coffee run or an evening walk once you arrive.
Dimensions: 11.0" w x 9.0" h x 2.75" d
Favorite Features:
- • Zip closures to keep everything secure
- • Longer adjustable strap: 26.5" at the longest drop
- • Two exterior zip pockets and an interior zip pocket help separate your wallet, phone, and other small items
For Sightseeing and Amusement Parks: Small Banbury Backpack
A full-size carry-on doesn't need to come along for every outing. The Small Banbury Backpack gives you a compact, hands-free option for a museum, a walk through a new city, or an afternoon at an amusement park with the kids.
Tons of organization options give sunglasses, a phone, sunscreen, and other small essentials their own space so every stop doesn't turn into a search through the bottom of your bag.
Dimensions: 7.0" w x 11.75" h x 4.75" d
Favorite Features:
- • Exterior: zip compartment, back slip pocket, and two side slip pockets
- • Two slip pockets and a zip pocket inside
- • Adjustable straps help you find a comfortable fit for a long day of walking
For Snacks Between Stops: Lunch Crossbody
A road trip picnic or a packed lunch at the park is easier when the food has its own bag. Our Lunch Crossbody has a structured, polished shape with plenty of personality. Carry it by the small handle or use the adjustable crossbody strap when your hands are occupied with everything else.
Dimensions: 10.25" w x 8.5" h x 6.25" d
Favorite Features:
- • Food-safe PEVA lining
- • Zip closure so nothing tumbles out
- • Side water bottle pocket
For Short Trips: Weekender Travel Bag and 3 Pouch Organizer Set
The Weekender Travel Bag has room for the clothes and extras that make all the difference for a quick family getaway. Use it to carry the kids' clothes and accessories, or fit their extras in alongside yours. With multiple ways to carry it, the Weekender Travel Bag is your flexible best friend.
Dimensions: 17.75" w x 12.5" h x 8.0" d
Favorite Features:
- • Six slip pockets in the main compartment, perfect for diapers and everything you need when traveling with a baby
- • Exterior front zip pocket and side and back slip pockets
- • Trolley sleeve to easily carry with your suitcase on longer trips
- • Two handles and removable, adjustable strap
Pair it with the 3 Pouch Organizer Set to give small items a better chance of staying found. Use one pouch for chargers, one for toiletries, and one for the hair ties, crayons, or tiny toys that tend to migrate through a travel bag. The set includes three sizes, each with a zip closure, so you can change your system to fit the trip.
For Hotel Mornings: Hanging Organizer and Hair Care Case
When several people are getting ready in one bathroom, a little organization goes a long way. Our Hanging Organizer unfolds to 29.25” high, putting its pockets where you can see them instead of spreading everything across the counter. It includes a zip mesh pocket, two TPU zip pockets, and a removable TPU zip pouch. Use it to group the family's everyday toiletries, then fold it up when it's time to leave.
Dimensions when folded: 10.0" w x 7.5" h x 4.0" d
The Hair Care Case gives brushes, hair accessories, and styling tools their own spot. Four interior slip pockets help corral smaller items, while its exterior zip pocket has a heat-resistant silicone surface and three elastic loops for hot tools. It's a useful companion to your other travel toiletry bags when the family's getting-ready essentials need more than one pouch.
For Travel With a Baby: Large Berkhill Backpack
Meet your new favorite baby bag. Go hands-free with the lightweight Large Berkhill Backpack to carry everything you need for baby through airports, around theme parks, or on road trips. Reinvent the zippered laptop compartment to hold your changing pad and a few diapers, with plenty of room inside for the wipes, extra clothes, toys and anything else you need close at hand. From toddler to teenager, this is a bag you can keep carrying for trips well beyond the baby years!
Dimensions: 13.25" w x 16.75" h x 8.5" d
Favorite Features:
- • Comfortable adjustable straps leave your hands available for the stroller or a little hand that wants yours
- • Extremely lightweight Featherweight material weighs less than a pound when empty
- • Trolley sleeve to take it off your shoulders when you're also pulling a suitcase
- • Two exterior side pockets can keep baby bottles within reach
- • Two slip pockets for extra help staying organized
For busy travel days, pack the changing essentials together so you can grab them without digging through the whole backpack. Our Medium Pouch can hold diapers and a travel pack of wipes, depending on their sizes.
Use the Small Pouch for a pacifier and other little things that tend to disappear into a larger bag, and use the front pockets for items you'll need to reach for frequently during the journey. Both pouches zip closed and you can rearrange your system as your family's needs change.
You've Got Places to Be. Bring the Right Bag!
The flight, the road trip, the day at the park: each asks for something different. Take the backpack when you're carrying a little of everything, the crossbody when you want the essentials close, and the diaper backpack when the baby's supplies need their own place. You know how your family travels. Pick the bags that work for you, in colors and patterns you'll be glad to carry!
