• Use colour-coded packing cubes for each family member. This will create defined space for everyone’s clothes
• Tightly fold or roll clothes to save space
• Pack clothes than you can dress up or down
• Decant moisturiser or shower gel into small bottles or waterproof pouches
• Thin, quick drying towels double up as blankets and play mats
• Stuff shoes with chargers, cables, socks and sunglasses
• You can use vacuum bags for bulkier items, like jackets and baby blankets
