Moving with Children and Babies
When you move with 1st Class, we make your move as stress-free as possible.
Your Satisfaction is Our Only Concern
Our home movers plan each step to make relocation easier for families. We protect your items, coordinate timelines, and keep communication clear so parents can stay focused on children.
Moving with Children
It’s important that you discuss the move with the whole family in advance. Focus on why, when, how, and where you’ll be moving. Your kids need to know that it’s a positive event for everyone. Also, ask them how they feel about it, or if they have any questions. It’s important they know that you care about their thoughts and feelings.
Essential Preparation
Focus on why, when, how, and where you’ll be moving. Ask them how they feel about it. Care about their thoughts and feelings.
Involvement & Packing
Have them pack some of their own belongings. Help plan the trip.Keep a special item or toy out.
Unpacking For The First Week
Let them spend as much time as possible with their friends, share details about the new home, and arrange a property visit.
Moving Day Safety
Introduce your kids to the moving team and remind them to stay clear. Remind them that this is a good thing for the family.
Moving with Babies
With proper preparation and support, newborns and toddlers can move comfortably. We help you build a schedule so feeding, sleep, and unpacking priorities stay organized.
Plan Accordingly
It’s also a good idea to plan stops along the way. Schedule times to get out of the car, stretch your legs, and let your little ones move around too. This also helps schedule feedings, keeping their routines as close to normal as possible. If you’re driving a long distance, more than 10-12 hours, spend a night in a hotel. This might sound like an option, but it really isn’t. A good night’s sleep is key to your baby’s happiness, and let’s face it, it’s good for you too. Make arrangements before your move, and request a crib or pack a portable Pack-n-Play.
