    Plastic baggies
    I believe you can never have enough zipper bags. You can use them as storage for toys with small pieces, as snack bags, as a toiletries bag, as garbage bags in a pinch and even as dirty clothes bags.

We've learned lots of tips and tricks along the way while traveling with our kids over both short and long distances… in cars, on airplanes, and even on foot in the African bush. Here are the 10 must-haves for keeping traveling with kids as fun and worry-free as possible, no matter where you are traveling to or for how long. - By Kristy Carlson
