Moving Home with Kids and Pets: Tips to Make It Easier

Moving can be chaotic, especially with kids and pets in tow. Here are some strategies to ease the transition and keep stress levels low:

  • Hire Packing Specialists: Professionals will handle packing and unpacking, freeing you up to focus on the kids. Plus, a single removalist's insurance often won’t cover self-packed items, so leaving it to the pros can save you on breakages.

  • Label Boxes Clearly: Make sure boxes are labelled by room, and place kids’ favourite toys at the top to keep them occupied upon arrival. For added organisation, try the Moving Day app, which lets you scan bar codes on each box for a list of contents.

  • Introduce Kids to the Area: Take the kids to a nearby café or playground to create positive associations with the new home.

  • Prepare for Pets: Keep pet bowls, food, and leads easily accessible, and plan a walk to familiarise them with the area. For anxious pets, pheromone diffusers from the vet can provide calming relief.

With these tips, moving day can be smoother and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
