I use these Lil’ Toppers. They are basically a no-spill top for water bottles. Twist it on, hand it to the kids, and go. Much easier and mess-free.
We (a family with 4 children) are often going on day trips and changing it last minute to a 1 night trip (so we don’t have to come home late). This requires a quick packing. In the basement, I have an over night bag for each child. It is pre-packed with a spare pare of PJ’s, clothes and underwear, and travel hygine supplies.
