7- Car Seat

You wouldn’t believe it, but there are quite a few airlines out there who provide complimentary baby cradles for passengers who have purchased an extra seat for their child. In addition, all major rental car companies have car seats available for daily or weekly rentals. It’s a great option, especially for families who have complex travel itineraries.

8- Daily Outfits

Packing suitcase

With the exception of those who are visiting very hot or humid climates, there’s really no reason for travelers to bring along a new outfit for every day of the trip. For example, jeans, pants, and skirts can be worn at least twice, along with jackets, coats, and mixed-blend shirts. If you’re worried about your clothing not smelling fresh, pack along a homemade dryer bag!

9- Entire Makeup Bag

Sure, everyone wants to look their best while on vacation, but it doesn’t mean that you need to bring every red lipstick you own with you either! Instead, pack only the makeup you use for “everyday” purposes, with an extra color here or there for a night out on the town. You won’t believe how much lighter your purse will feel!

Now that you know which items are better left at home, we’d like to hear from you! Have you ever been guilty of packing any of the things on the list? Are there any items that we forgot? What are your “must-have” belongings?
