Packing list for a city trip with small kids

London, Paris, Tokyo, New York or Singapore with children under six: a carrier for the stairs, a stroller that folds with one hand, medicines with the dose written on the box, snacks for every line, and a plan with a nap in it.

Open in Waystop

On a phone with Waystop installed, the button adds the list to your trip as a bag you can tick off. Otherwise copy it and paste it into Waystop’s Chat with “add this to my packing list”.

Leave at home
  • The full-size travel systemIt will not fit the taxi trunk, the museum elevator or the bus; a compact fold does
  • A week of diapers and formulaSupermarkets and pharmacies in all five cities stock familiar brands; carry three days
  • Toys that make noiseThe plane cabin and the restaurant will not forgive them; stickers and a notebook are silent
Buy when you land
  • Diapers, wipes and formulaBoots, Monoprix, Duane Reade and Japanese drugstores; the box carries a picture of the size
  • A sun hat or a rain poncho for the childLost on day two and replaced at the first market stall
  • Fruit, yoghurt and bread from a supermarket on arrivalBreakfast at 6 a.m. when the jet-lagged child wakes before the hotel does

Worth knowing

Trips to pack this for

London

4 days in London

Four days by river and by neighborhood: Westminster and the South Bank, the City and the Tower, South Kensington's museums and the parks, then the East End's markets and Greenwich.

Paris

4 days in Paris

Four days that pair one big museum or palace with one part of the city: the Louvre and the islands, Orsay and Saint-Germain, Montmartre and the Marais, then Versailles and a last evening on the Seine. Each day is a short metro ride and a lot of walking, with dinner booked.

Tokyo

4 days in Tokyo

Four days across the two Tokyos: Asakusa and Ueno in the old east, Harajuku, Shibuya and Shinjuku in the west, a morning at the fish market and the bay, then Yanaka, Akihabara and a last night view. One train line at a time, paid with a tap of your phone.

New York

4 days in New York

Four days in three boroughs: Midtown and Central Park, downtown from the High Line to the Brooklyn Bridge, the museums and the Upper West Side, then Brooklyn and Queens for the food. Each day is one part of the city, so you ride the subway once or twice and walk the rest.

Singapore

3 days in Singapore

Three days built around the heat: gardens early, something air-conditioned every afternoon, hawker centers for every meal and the free light shows after dark. Marina Bay, Chinatown to Kampong Glam, then the Botanic Gardens and Jewel.

In the app

Never leave the charger in the hotel again.

Waystop keeps a list for each bag and each person. On the morning you change hotels it walks you through a quick pack-up check, and Chat can suggest items to add when you ask what to bring.
