Why Kids Packing Cubes Work for Family Trips
Packing for a family trip often means managing everyone’s clothes, toys, and essentials. Kids Packing Cubes from Away are designed to make that process easier — for both parents and children. The set includes three color-blocked cubes that fit inside the Kids Carry-On compression system, turning packing into a game rather than a chore.
The idea is simple: give each cube a purpose so children can help pack and unpack their own bag. With a little guidance, even small adventurers learn to keep tiny socks, pajamas, and souvenirs in their place.

How to Pack with Kids Packing Cubes
Follow these simple steps to involve your child in the packing process.
- 1. Assign a cube to each category: Let your child choose which cube holds tops, which holds bottoms, and which holds underwear or pajamas. The distinct colors make it easy to remember.
- 2. Show them how to fold or roll: Demonstrate a simple fold or roll for each item. Kids as young as four can help place clothes into the cube — it feels like a puzzle.
- 3. Let them pack their own cube: Hand over one cube at a time. This builds confidence and reduces the chance of a last-minute scramble. You can check each cube before zipping.
- 4. Use the cubes inside the Kids Carry-On: The set is designed to work with the Kids Carry-On compression system. Stack the cubes inside the suitcase for a snug fit that leaves room for a toy or book on top.
Making Packing Feel Like Play
The cubes are described as making packing feel like play for children and turning chaos into calm for parents. That shift in mindset is the real benefit. When kids own the packing task, they are less likely to complain about what is packed and more likely to keep track of their belongings during the trip.
After the trip, ask your child to unpack by emptying each cube into the laundry or drawer. The same categories make unpacking just as simple.
Choosing a Color for Your Child
The Kids Packing Cubes come in several color options, including Buzz Lightyear Purple, Fruit Punch, Garden Mix, Jessie Red, Spring Mix, and Toy Story 5. Letting your child pick their favorite color adds another layer of ownership to the packing process. The cubes are small enough to fit in a carry-on but large enough to hold a few days’ worth of clothes.
