Trying to limit your bags and carry-ons is HUGE because you will ALSO end up carrying one if not both of your children at one point. Bags with a shoulder or cross body strap or backpacks are a MUST!
So we pack a his and hers bag & henrys backpack.
HIS BAG:
diapers, wipes, extra set of kids clothes, snacks, laptop, headsets, chargers.
*note this is top open!
We used to pack extra set of adult clothes too, because you never know what could happen (i.e. vomit, poo, pee, spilled drinks)- but now, we just LAYER and LAYER! tank top, t-shirt, button down then sweater. It works!
HER BAG:
ergo, nursing cover, hand sanitizer x 2, wallet, water, thermos of milk, rose balm, miscellaneous toys wrapped in foil and saran wrap, charger, selfie stick :)
not pictured: emilias teething toys, babyfood, spoons, bib, henry pasta with butter
BONUS TIP:
wrap a few small toys in foil and you can surprise your toddler over the course of few days
HENRY's BAG:
I picked his smallest backpack, which also happened to be a PAW PATROL backpack (he's obsessed) and filled it with several of his paw patrol toys. I picked a small bag because:
1. it limits the number of toys we can bring
2. he would be able to carry it when it is full.
If I gave him the option, he would pack ALL his toys- and then the bag would be so heavy, he couldn't carry it and Rich would probably end up carrying ANOTHER bag.

How I managed to shove all that in this small bag is beyond me... but once you take the ergo out in the airplane, easy to find things in this bag. I love that this style has a cross body strap now!
