He's seven now and his clothes are getting bigger but as long as they're summer clothes they will still fit into the baggies. The empty bags are also great for wet swimsuits on the last day, dirty socks & underwear, pretty much anything you want to segregate in your suitcase for the trip home!!

I'm still doing that for my son! He turned 9 this summer and his clothes still fit. It's so nice to have a whole outfit in one bag so he can get dressed and I don't have to worry about him wearing the wrong shirt with a pair of shorts and ending up with clothes that don't match left.

I'll be sad when I have to stop packing him in bags, it makes mornings so easy.
