[quote=Anonymous]First, I think it is a great idea for each person to have their own bag and learn to be responsible for it. I think I was six or seven when my parents started having us pack (after a parental check of what we were planning to pack) and carry our own bags.

Having grown up with the round Lands' End duffels, they are a bear to pack. It is round! Stacks of clothes don't go in. That said, the duffel I had from age 7 to my teens was smaller than that and fit clothes and minimal toiletries (toothbrush and paste, hair brush) just fine. Not sure I ever needed a second pair of shoes at that age.

With our DD, she received a carryon sized rolling bag and matching backpack when she was 3 or 4. I think it was from One Step Ahead or a similar site. She graduated from that to an adult size bag around 9 or 10.

Another option is just to get different colored packing cubes for each family member. Then you can share a suitcase but make it a little easier to find things. My SIL uses this system.
